Thank you for posting this. I used your EQ technique and took the wheels off of my Roland amp for an outdoor gig on a bandshell this past weekend and my bass KICKED ASS.

Again another video that actually gives us the right information to understand the factors going into your amp settings. So many videos just don't cover the important WHY while your videos do. Keep up the fantastic job.

Thank you so much. Just bought my first amp, Peavey Headliner 1000, and had no idea how to set the EQ up. Now I have a place to start. Love practical information. I subscribed. Thanks again.

Great advise! We used to spend all the effort practicing to be tight in a band but never knew much about working out the sound with each other! We would even book the same room weekly because "that" room just sound so good with our "go to" settings, lol!

You give some of the clearest and most useful info out there, but more than that I love the lack of ego in your videos. Honestly, so many of the bassist youtubers are getting too high off their own farts, but your channel definitely has it's focus and priorities in order. Keep up the awesome work.

Boomy room. Turn bass down. Use low mid as bass instead. This is awesome. Thank you so much! Subscribed. X

Great video. I have been setting the gain as instructed by a lot of people - master vol down, turn up the gain till the clip light shows then back it off slightly (that really may work well with passive basses but not mine). With those settings and very hot pickups the master vol stays at 1! I've always had to back the gain down and make adjustments. Turning the bass down etc also makes a lot of sense. I have a 2x15 cab and it is very easy to get the mud going. Thanks for the video - very good.

Thanks Marcelo, this video really helped me understand how a bass amp set up should be handled. I gotta tell you, i really like the way you explain things, it's clear, and easy to understand. You give a lot of details and i enjoy that. Keep it up !

Wow, this was super helpful! Thanks. Great demo too with the bathroom and closet. I was actually having trouble getting a boomy sound with a new Fender Rumble 200 I bought. I moved it to a different part of the room and got a different sound. Never even thought about the room itself.
