Poor sad insecure bass player needing help x

[Bassist on the Run]

Evening peeps

so, I’ve recently joined an Arctic monkeys tribute band and I’ve just popped my cherry with my first run of gigs. 
 

we are Berkshire/surry based but the gigs are all over the uk. 
 

as a 40 year old bassist I had almost hung up my bass, got the slippers out and my smoking jacket on but decided to have another bash at gigging with a band after a fair few years off.

 

firstly I like the AM so that really helps, my issue/question is I’m firstly brand new to using in ears and I’m slightly nervous of my sound etc as I’ve always played in function bands mainly playing soul/funk so my sounds been clean and that’s all I’ve needed.

 

im now using a pedal board with a markbass cmd102 combo and a p bass My amp clip light was on quite a fair bit it at the last gig and the levels were quite low so I wasn’t sure why this was happening. 
 

basically if I can get any advice on how to create a solid live tone with the tools I have. I do have a 115 extension cab which I was thinking might help with my tone etc. 

 

I have pictured my set up below. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

For me a ‘solid’ bass tone starts with a slight boost at about 200Hz - that’s the natural ‘hump’ in their cabs.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

 

🧐Has anyone from the audience commented on your sound? Why not get a long cable or wireless and hear it from out front ?
