    I see. Is it the case that Genz and Markbass are flat at noon, though..? I assumed not, because of the aforementioned bakery…?
  2. wateroftyne
    Apologies - I think I'm missing your point...?
  3. wateroftyne
    Not sure that's the case. Lots of heads I tried (Markbass, Genz, Walkabout, TC amongst others) seemed to lack those mids.
  4. wateroftyne
    I don’t have to - I finally found a manufacturer that gives me the option of a scoop.
  5. wateroftyne
    I believe it's thicker than the '62 RI, but still not thick enough for me. The 9.5" neck radius is probably making it feel even shallower....
  6. wateroftyne
    It's nice - lovely fit, finish and tone, but I can't get into the neck. It's just too shallow! One day I'll remember that I just don't do 60s necks. I'm persevering, though...

    …after a multi-year journey trying a shedload of other amps and tweaking their EQ’s to kingdom come.

    Phew! I’m lucky that I can just plug my bass in, set the knobs to noon, and it sounds awesome 😄

    I think there’s a couple of lines of discussion here. - What do I need to do to flatten the EQ on my amp? - What is the point of a flat EQ? - Why do so many amp manufacturers bake a curve into the EQ that you can’t necessarily get rid of? There’s probably a few more TBH
  10. wateroftyne
    I guess my point could be this: Why do so many amp manufacturers bake in a scoop that you can't get rid of? Not everyone wants one. (see also: Sansamp)
  11. wateroftyne
    Or in my case, not. So… we’re back to horses for courses. But let’s not forget the OP wants to know how to get a flat response from the EQ of their amp.
  12. wateroftyne
    Almost but not quite for me. All those knobs and I couldn’t put back what was (IMO) missing.
  13. wateroftyne
    Have you ever tried to get flat on a walkabout? 😄
  14. wateroftyne
    So... we're saying it doesn't matter what, if any, baked-in EQ an amp has because our hearing and speakers are all different. Makes me wonder even more why the EQ is just left flat by default so we can just make our own minds up 😄
  15. wateroftyne
    I actually find the opposite. Scooped in the shop, all nice and smooth. But for me, the energy and character is in the middle.
  16. wateroftyne
    Problem is (for me, anyway) many builders favour a baked-in scoop by default, which does nowt for me.
  17. wateroftyne
    I understand there are other factors, but we're specifically talking about flat EQ here... aren't we?
  18. wateroftyne
    Yes, my assumption that it is flat is based entirely on my assessment that it sounds flat 😄 Not really. It's based on the plot that Leszek sent me back in the day.
  19. wateroftyne
    That's curious - AFAIK the Handbox preamp is near-as-damn-it flat at 12 o'clock (happy to be convinced otherwise), and I love it flat.
  20. wateroftyne
    I've got 3 P's and a Maruszczyk P now. TBH I didn't intend to buy a couple of new P's (I'm still holding out for something early 70's), but I liked the look of 'em. I know, I know...
  21. wateroftyne
    Too early to tell... it's going to be an interesting comparison though!
  22. wateroftyne
    ...so far, I prefer the neck of the 50s. As for the rest... time will tell.
  23. wateroftyne
    Aaaaand... American Original 50s Precision:
  24. wateroftyne
    Hi all! Somehow I've ended up with these. Can't quite remember how it happened, but there you go. First up - American Original 60s Precision:
