'nampeg ? Is that the one from over seas ?

sorry , I couldn't resist...

my advice. Set everything flat. Dial your tone in close as you can get it with the rotary EQ (Bass Mid, Treble) - then use the graphic to make minor adjustments.

Assuming that you like the basic sound of your bass and of your cabinet - that approach will get you home. If you find yourself making gross adjustements with either the rotary or graphic EQ - then it's time to be thinking in terms of Is this the right bass ? Is this the right cab ? Is this the right head ?

EZ! Do as above post suggests........then if Graphic EQ IS needed.............
Best to try cutting freqs 1st rather than boosting. Cutting mids give U a smoother sound=more bass & trebs & less mids-duh?? But it can be more difficult to 'cut thru' the band's sound with this EQ. If anything at all, when I had one I boosted the upper mids between 700Hz - 1.2KHz to give me MORE 'CUT' to push thru the mix better. Depends on the cab U R using too.

EQ should be used to cut, I think it should never be used to boost. but thats the audiophile in me.

If I have to boost to get my sound then I think I need to reevaluate my current gear as to why its not doing what I want it to on its own.

I never boost EQ.

Exactly. The speaker and cab don't matter, nor does the brand. Start flat, tweak SLIGHTLY. Remember that the room interacts with the speaker - if it's in a corner, it will sound more bassy than if it's away from walls.

Be gentle, and DO NOT just make a smiley face.
