Music Man tone?????

[xxjazzbassist]

the battery for me needs to be changed every few months now but when i was playing it more often it needed to be changed about once a month. your battery life will be worlds better if you unplug it when you arent playing it. also the mids knob is where the money lies in dialing in your tone on the ray. i usually boost my mids and only boost the lows a pinch and cut the highs a pinch. Also my favorite switch position for the HH is the 4 spot or the one with the bottom row of the bottom pickup and top row of the top pickup.

when you say just a pinch, do you mean past the indent?

You, sir, have earned my favor with that justin Chancellor photo. Spiral out!

When I first started playing Rays I rolled off the treble all the way, dimed the mids, and boosted the low end a bit. I liked it but always got to much distortion live. Now everything is set flat or slightly boosted. It took a while to get use to this. It works much better in a band situation. I prefer this now.

I love the three band. For me its much easier to eq than a two. It also makes eq in different rooms much easier.

The EQ tends to work best when you use it lightly. I tend to boost the bass a little and keep the others flat, maybe cut the treble a bit on my Stingray.

That being said, the tone in the video sounded good to me. It sounds like a Stingray!

Zombie! Kill it's brains!

I actually love my musicman hd130 (bass), deep switch, bright switch, treble at 6 mid at 3 and bass at 5
