stingrayPete1977 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 OK my little fountain of knowledge here I am again! I have just purchased a plat pro from our very own Timo it should be here fairly soon but until its here obviously I cant try it but can you nice people tell me what your starting point settings would be so I can get a head start when it arrives, I have a half carved bass with a cheap J tone pickup (two black slot mounted piezo one) if that helps? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The user guide is very self explanatory Pete. In practice all you will need to adjust is the EQ sliders (takes a split second) and - if feedback issues - the phase control. http://www.fishman.com/files/pro_eq_platinum_bass_user_guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Oh no it is not idiot proof is it? we will see about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Looks simple enough.......I will return once I have tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 leave the sliders flat to begin. Input gain set so it wont clip at all, sounds not good if it does. Vol. at max. Listen to phase settings and pick the best sounding, its usually the one that works best. Try low cut at 12 o clock(5 oclock is no cut at all, ACW cuts the lows).the more low cut you have try boosting bass slider to add back some bass. adjust sliders to taste, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve..

fatback Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Is there a notch filter on the thing? If there is, you might amplify the bass and point the cab at it until you get feedback, then twiddle the notch until it reduces. Worked for me. I just leave the notch at that setting now.

stingrayPete1977 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 No notch as such on the platinum pro but it looks like the bass control and depth knob interact in some way for a similar outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
