What is YOUR Eq?

[ak50324]

I almost always scoop mids, though sometimes I "peak" the mids with no treble and a bit of bass to give out an _AMAZING_ fake biamping tone(tons of low end with some great growl).

Sounds badass with a jazz(blended) or a P bass (maybe sheehan?).(hint :))

I was playing with an EQ pedal and skipped every other setting(set rest at 0), steadily decreasing each time, and it gave this super trebley whine. Did the opposite and my amp asploded :eek: (i somehow activated the active tap with the end of the cord, which blew part of my speaker.)

[bottlerocket]

Bass: 6
Low mids: 10
High mids: 4
Treble: 6

I dig a growly tone. That's what I use the most, although I've been experimenting with a deep, focused, bassy tone lately.

[neatobassman]

I boost mids and cut highs. good cutting tone.

[TwiTcHyHanDs]

Depends if i want to go with an Bassy Tone.Or if i really want to hear the Guitar part of the bass.

[edgebass5]

in my room by myself: setting 2 on my Avalon U5
with my band: setting 1 on my Avalon U5

:lol:

[SquierBasser]

Low:6 Mid:4 High:10

It sounds good to me...

If it makes you feel better Gav, you can find those EQ curves at the bottom of page two: http://avalondesign.com/pdfs/hr_avalonLit_U5.pdf

Hey, who is this 2 year old kid posting on the interwebs? :p

Oh, on topic: I found a wicked punchy tone yesterday with my Schecter on my Peavey TNT 115. I forget the settings, though. :(

Any suggestions on something very punchy? I want to find it again.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Bass: 9
Mids: 10
Treble: 7
And the ultra-lo activited.

Sometimes I cut the highs a bit and run my OD channel along with it with a lot of the bass cut, the treble boosted a little, and the high mids boosted. This tone is amazing, it's like biamping, but with two completely different EQ sets for each channel. I can't wait to get a full stereo rig.

(Ampeg SVP-BSP preamp, by the way)

[Az_Holl]

Bass-4
Mids-10
Treble-6

Im usually always running a high gain drive and a bit of wah and as much compression as i can before my ****ty pedal starts getting noisy.

[T2k5]

On my GT-6B's EQ

Low +20
Mid 0
High +10

I usually keep my amps EQ on neutral but sometimes I boost the lows and highs on it a bit. (9-band EQ)

[delinquent]

usually i have treble 4, mids 4, bass 7. though not always that precisely...

[PainKiller8191]

the eq on my amp is completely flat. I get a nice sound in passive mode out of my marcus miller sig, and in active mode i can make any changes and that's enough for me..

and also when playing my active rockbass corvette i usually keep the eq flat, for metal i give the treble a slight boost and lean towards the bridge pickup, and for anything else i play with the bickup blend knob and bass boost

[Chris K]

I'll boost the mids a bit, or just leave it flat. If I really need to, I'll make minor adjustments to suit the place I'm playing, but thats about it.

[7thdaybass]

on my hartke i have like..

5 - low
7 - mid
4 - high

on my ashdown i havent really found anything to stick to yet but i want something kind of similar but with the addition of high and low mids

[Chris K]

Heh, Ashdown...

[kilian]

I'll boost the mids a bit, or just leave it flat. If I really need to, I'll make minor adjustments to suit the place I'm playing, but thats about it.
Yup I do this too.. A bit of highmids sometimes to give the extra dirty growl.

[punk_chunks]

I play upright, so I've got low=10, mid=0, treble=0. it's the only way I get that classic boomy but still clear standup tone.

[St. Anthonys fire]

Heh, Ashdown...
Whats wrong with Ashdown?

Anyway:
Low: 7
Mid: 8-10
High: 2-5

Nice punchy tone, especially with the gain up to about halfway

[Untitled]

Bass about 3
Mid Low about 5
Mid high abouut 5
treble about 8-9.

-Gav
when i still used my 15" combo, i got a nice punchy tone from:

Treble: 4
Mids: 6
Bass: ~4

(assuming 5 is flat)

[pitchfork]

Fender rumble 100

bass 5
low mids 8
high mids 6
highs 7

Growly tone also good for slap but at the same time is cuts through the mix quite well.

[StickNaving]

On my Sansamp Para Driver:

Treble: Just above 9 o'clock
Mid: about 2 o'clock
Bass: about 1 o'clock

MidShift is as about 11 o'clock,which puts it somewhere around 600Hz i'd guess.

Also, I adjust my drive to the pickup blend i'm using, i like to keep it just on the verge of noticeably overdriving. Depending on the situation, I can play light and get a very clean sound, or dig in and get some grit.

[nisakss]

Lows: 8
Low mids: 8
High mids: 4
High: 2

Tone knob on the middlemost of the time and I play using the bridge pickup. Stands out great in the mix, sound horrible alone!

[Kilalues Guises]

if 5 is flat, my eq is at 5 across the board

[Belfast Bassist]

I dont have a set one, changes everyday depending on my mood/what song im playing. I just start flat then boost/cut random things until i get a nice tone that stands out :D

[rh15951]

Bass = 11/12 o'clock
Low mid = 2/3 o'clock
Mid = 1 o'clock
High mid = 12/1 o'clock
Treble = 12 o'clock

[EADG]

Assuming 5 is flat (my EQ is graphic).


Low bass - 7
Bass - 8
Low mid - 3.5
High mid - 6.5
Treble - 6
High treble - 5



I basically scoop and then bring the high mid in as necessary. I cut the low mid usually but boost it up to around 8 when my band plays YYZ. I have the bass really high to compensate for the EMG hz's.

[acexxxoasis]

alphabass tube amp heavy on the power section light on the gain
PreGain-2 post gain-10 bass-8 mids-4.5 high-6 Graphic EQ boosted with a slow middle down slope high peak ~ bright switch in

Very punchy but very defined low end like a sledgehamer to the chest not an ice pick to the ears

[Scooch]

Bass - 8
Mid level - 5
Treble - 6

[Thonk]

Bass: 8
Mid: 8-9
Treble: 5-6

Both pups on full and 3/4 or full open on the tone knob.

[LewsTherin]

On my 8 band EQ, +-15db

B +4
B +1
LM +12
LM +14
HM -5
HM -3
T +5
T +7

With either bridge pup (jazz) soloed, 4/5 tone or both pups in series, 4/5 tone.

[eriatarka]

Bass-8
Mid-6 or 7
Treble-5

Neck pick up on full,bridge on about 3/4 with the tone knob just past the halfway mark.

[Manticore Guy]

I've playing recently with everything flat.

[The Maggot]

all neck pickup

bass: 10
mids: 9
treble: 0

[Jaded]

Generally I have the mids at 6-10, have treble at about 3-4, bass around
5-6. To be honest, I don't care about my tone right now, practicing with my band and not playing a lot of shows yet. I play cleanly and hard with heavy strings, so my bass usually sounds good and punchy and I'm fine with that.

[thelowsoundofbass]

Both pups on full, bass=5, mids =8, treble=6. Nice growl, I ajust acording to the roon that I play in as well, always starting at flat.

lowsound

[low-G]

Bass = 4.5
Mid = 7
Treble = 5.5

that sounds best playing perfectly clean when im in my basement
i mess with the bass/treble boosts and pup blend on my axe to get differnt tones

[Mr. JazzMaster]

My tones like all thumpy mids, i cut the bass all the way off and just turn everything all the way up on my marcus miller, and just crank the **** out of my amp.

It's pure Mo Town bliss

[blizzard]

I tend to leave my Eq fairly flat, Enhance around 8 - 9 o'clock, a bit of bass boost and maybe a bit of boots around 300hz.

[AcerbicCunnt77]

bass:6
low mids:9
middle:7
high mids:8
treble:8
(from an ashdown mag300 ((which I hate fyi)) )

[darrell]

I've playing recently with everything flat.

Recently, I have been doing the same thing on my amp. On my bass (Stingray 3-band EQ... I <3 it.), I boost the mids quite a bit... and depending on the song, I may boost the bass a little bit as well.

Usually I leave the highs flat unless I really want a trebly tone, which is not often.

[wicked_child]

for my clean tone, setting 9 on my zoom 607, for my metal, light distortion tone, setting 36.

i'm not sure of my exact values but I have a high mids and lows boosted and eeverything else cut a bit.

[ObeyGiant]

How would you get a really toney, trebly sound? Like that of Matt Freeman or of many punk rock bands for that matter? Been learning a lot of Rancid lately and it doesn't sound so hot with the muddy *** **** I'm using.

[amnestyslowend]

on my swr working man's 2004:
gain:5 or so
arual enhancer:maxed
bass:3-5 for slap/jazz, 6-9 for modern rock, 10 for classic rock
mid-ferq: 800hz
mids:10
treble: between 0 and 10 dependes on style
transprance:0 normal 10 jazz
:thumb:


More mids help cut thru walls or guitars depends on which you prefere!

[Damrod]

I usually have the EQ going like a small hill, bass and high pretty much flat, the towards the mids it goes up.

I want to test out different tones though, maybe something more punchy. I don't know what I want yet :)

[FU.CKY.OU]

bass:5
low mid:3-5
high mid:Maxed
treble:3-5

and if i have my me50-b running through it, i just leave everything on there level and turn the volume all the way up.

[mastrrbasser]

i boost my low end, low mids, and i keep the high mids a little above flat and my highs a little higher than that. I like a growly dark tone, with nice top end definition, and i finally pulled off the tone i want.

[tinnitus]

12 oclock for everything, how boooring
