chriswareham Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 [i]Active preamp can be harsh if your heavy handed but once you suss it out they are very good.[/i] I tame the EQ on my Stingray with a compressor pedal. That means I can leave everything flat EQ wise on shared backline or rehearsal room amps, then use the three band pre-amp EQ to tweak my sound. The compressor takes care of volume changes from the EQ twiddling and from my somewhat heavy picking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1397913596' post='2428559'] Well it's like, for Versatility I've got 3 go to basses. ATM I think I'm fed up of Having to EQ as much as I do, just looking for simplistic, easy playing but badass sounding [/quote] I find that for me, the EQ on the MM basses is too much of an incentive to twiddle! I've gigged and recorded with a MM before, borrowed it from a mate to use whilst gigging and recording as I was interested in buying one myself, however I just couldn't get on with it. I've instead opted for a P and a 4003. I certainly find my P is my main bass currently, partly due to the fact it's easy to stick in the soft case and carry around and partly cause the ric could do with a setup!
