Bass Guitar Amplifier
How should I set up the knobs on a bass guitar amplifier?
I just want to know how the high, mid, bass, master, gain, etc. should be set up at. thx in advance
You should start with all settings in the center. Set your bass to center as well, then start by moving the volume to a comfortable level. If it is too soft,move the volume at the amplifier, if it is too loud, move the volume down at the bass, unless the volume is extremely loud.
the thing that it takes most instrumentalists the longest time to learn is that the knobs go down as well as up. Usually, you will find your optimum sound by moving the Bass tone knob down, just a little from center. Next move your midrange (Mid) tone knob just above center, and your treble knob just below center. This may not be the case with your bass amp, but it's a good place to start. Depending on the sound you are trying to get, you will be moving these knobs a lot over the years. Get used to the centered sound and the slightly boosted midrange sound next. The contered sound is your amplifier with no adjustments, and the slightly boosted midrange is just a good place to start from when you are trying to find the optimum sound for your style of music.
Thick Bass Padd - increase bass knob, center mid knob, about one third treble knob
thin, reedy sound - One quarter to one third bass, one third midrange, and two thirds treble
All of this depends on your speakers, the maker of the amp, and the age of the amplifier, but this gives you a couple ideas to get started. You should also turn all of the tone knobs all the way up at least once. It's the only way you will find out that you never really want to except under very extreme circumstances. Make sure your volume control is not all the way up when you do it. Some amplifiers have a safety cutoff so that when you do this, you just get a thick muddy sound. Some amplifiers really sound scary. Play with it, get to know your amp, and find out everything it can do.
You can also turn each tone knob all the way up one at a time. It really is good ear training.
