Ok so I'm overwhelmed and don't really know where to start. I have a pretty decent setup for most applications, using a Shen sb-80 bass, with an Upton wing piezo, going into the FDeck HPF pre and into my Genz Benz shuttle 6.0 and Velvet Aenema strings. It took some serious tweeking of the eq (treble cut all the way, and mids set around 2k and cut almost all the way - I know it sounds extreme but the end result is pretty good) but I was finally able to tame the finger noise and trebley quality of the sound. Now it's great for folk or jazz stuff, and relatively decent for the new rockabilly group I'm in. The problem is just a lack of fingerboard click on the slap stuff. I tried using a 32 band eq to really tweek the sound and boost the treble in a controlled band to get the click but failed miserably. I'm considering adding a mic, or under the neck transducer of some kind, and a blending preamp, but have no idea what's out there, where to start, what's good and what just doesn't work. I don't want to replace my upton pickup as it is custom fitted to my bridge, but I suppose I would consider it if it were the best option. I'm also open to any other suggestions or ideas you might have. Thanks in advance!
