My newest gig rig...

Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe > GB ShuttleMax 9.2 > 31 band EQ > Compressor/Limiter/Noise Gate > fEARful 15/6

Pretty lightweight and powerful enough for most all my gigs. Bigger gigs I add my 210/6 cab to this...

Someone is obsessed about their tone.

Thats crazy! I have never heard of a 31 band EQ!

Why yes I am. But really the Graphic EQ and Compressor has more to do with controlling any problematic room issues without having it affect my tone much at all.

The Tech 21 VT Bass pedal and the SM 9.2 are for tone.

It's mostly used for PA purposes, but I've found that most Graphic EQ's on amps are too limiting for me, for room control of my bass. I have 31 bands from 20Hz all the way up to 20kHz and the only ones I'd never use are the last four from 10k up to 20k. Although I guess I do use them...I cut them completely.

Seriously?

 

[Sundogue]

Here is my reason for the 31 band EQ. Most bass amps, in addition to having too few EQ points, have too high an EQ point on the low end, so there is typically no control over frequencies below 50-60Hz, if they even control anything near that low. I like having strong sub 100Hz content in my sound. That is not the region of mud or boominess if your cabs can handle it. Now if I'm playing a room and I love the tone my SM 9.2 is putting out, but the room has a nasty boom at (the typical) 125Hz, with my EQ I can pull out 125Hz and boost those frequencies around that and lose the boominess without it adversely affecting my tone much. Ideally a fully parametric EQ would do even better, but the 31 band was a VERY cheap solution.

The endorsement came through, so I need to update. Quickie gig the day the head was delivered, but holy cow did it sound amazing!

Awesome rig and congrats, Pacman!

 

[Stranger Danger]

Seriously?

Yeah is that a common feature in bass rigs and I'm missing the boat?
