I’ve not had much experience w active instruments so I approach it as if it was a passive. I almost exclusively use a compressor at the front of my chain to bring the signal up and squash TF out of it. I don’t care too much for dynamics as it suits my lazy sloppy way of playing lol
Welcome and I would suggest having a look in the trade/sale sub of this forum. As they are ex bassist basses they would have been set up and “played in” so you’ll get a better experience imo. Straight out of the box you will have to adjust and play it in. You would probably benefit from a low action and perhaps short scale so you can play longer without fatigue which means faster level up 😬
good lick with your quest in the low end (see wat I did there) 👌🏻
After nearly two years, I finally caved in a pulled the trigger on it. I am super excited. Shame it doesn’t track lower than A on the bass but that’s okay. I will throw guitar and some synth through it. Synth through a synth? Yeth.
Who said anything about getting it up on stage? Just leave it by the bar, turn the trace amp to 4 and hit those notes hard so it breaks all the pint glasses and makes the bartender puke 🤮
