The specific EQ you will apply to your bass signal is very much dependent upon your par-
ticular instrument and personal taste and playing style. However, here are a few general
suggestions:
• For that super-deep reggae or Motown sound, boost the Bass EQ slightly while
attenuating the Treble EQ.
•To remove boxiness and make your instrument sound more “hi-fi,” try attenuating
the Mid EQ control.
•For a twangy, cutting sound, try boosting the Treble EQ. (Putting new roundwound
strings on your bass will help a lot also!)
•Whenever you get a really good EQ setting for a particular instrument or song, write it
down (you’d be amazed how easy it is to forget these things!).
As you experiment with the EQ controls of the A Series, don’t forget that your bass also
provides significant EQ control in the form of its pickup and tonal settings—this can be
particularly effective in instruments that have active circuitry.
