diskwave Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Scooped mids are systematic of the way music is going. Every single show...gig...festival Ive been to in the last five or so yrs the bass has been scooped to the point of being just a monotonous background drone, and I absolutely do not get it. Cannot beat a punchy mid pushed bass tone and I wouldn't have it any other way. My ole P bass. Dead flats, mid boost, with bass turned back on the amp, light touch. Punch, heft and clout for days.

Stub Mandrel Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I use post-eq di so I get a decent say in my sound foh. I always start with eq pretty much flat and boost what's needed for a good sound. Saturday afternoon in a field needed extra bass as not through pa. Evening in front of a wall in a long thin pub mids needed boosting. Sunday on a proper stage, pretty much flat but a tiny amount of boost to treble and bass, hit the sweet spot as when I switched to my jazz was able to really change my sound with the controls on the bass and hand placement. Fwiw that's the real test. If your rig/pa sound is unbalanced, you will struggle to achieve a range of tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
