Double Bass New from Acoustic Image at NAMM

[drurb]

Have the Acoustic Image Ten2 Plus and Realistic Life Line. Thought that equipment being new/improved would take my sound to the next step...The Realistic is done/off as the midrange is all it can produce. The Ten2 is a disappointment as the low mid control is too much and I have it completely off. I am going back to the K&K master with the preamp to define the sound before it hits the expensive Acoustic Image amp, which has enough power but bad frequency control points

Now that you've cross-posted your disappointment, I suggest that you look back here.

I covered this in the other thread you brought this up in. Sorry that the LifeLine didn't work out for you, but it's not perfect on every bass. Sounds like yours is one that it just doesn't work on. The search continues!

And most everyone else who has tried the new 4-band EQ on the Series 4+ amps has found the new points to be a considerable improvement. Try subtractive (turning down) EQ rather than additive (turning up) EQ. You can "kill" rather than "boost" the offending frequencies, then turn up the master volume to compensate.
