Dr.Dave Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I swap basses mid set and have always used the 'mute - lead out - swap bass - lead in - mute' approach. I'm a great believer in adding equipment also adding the increased probability of some bit of it going wrong. I shove the jackplug/lead in my pocket while the bass is being swapped. My mate has his through his belt loop. I'm pretty aware of the differing outputs of my basses so I might swing the gain a notch up or down depending which one I'm using. I don't touch the EQ at all. Sure , that means the basses sound a lot different but (other than a string break or something) if 2 basses sounded the same why would I want to swap them??

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I also change instruments mid-set. Again, no changes of eq (luckily most of my basses have the same preamp!) Just mute the system, swap bass & go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
