An original amp featuring a wide-range frequency response.
This amp type enables clear reproduction of your instrument's
sound. This also makes it perfect when connecting bass
modeling processors or using sound modules like bass synth.
In addition, you can exploit the equalizer's capabilities to
create the perfect bass sound for any musical genre from rock
to jazz.
This bass sound made its appearance in the '70s.
This is suited for a Jazz Bass with a rear pickup used. This
produces a warm, contoured sound when the bass is fingered
near the rear pickup.
In addition, using this setting while playing harmonics in
combination with a chorus and a delay enables sounds
featuring exquisite reverberation.
This setting cuts the midrange for a great slap bass sound.
Setting the SHAPE switch to ON further boosts the low and
high ends.
To get a crisp slap sound, lower the HIGH-MID setting and raise
the TREBLE. This emphasizes the brightness of the string sound,
resulting in a slap sound with a lighter pull sound. To get that
attacking sound used in Rock music, raise the BASS and HIGH-
MID settings to produce a sound with greater power. You can turn
the LOW-MID knob to reduce the middle and get a heavy sound
with superb clarity and distinction.
This produces a warm bass sound that is perfect for jazz.
The tonal quality is perfectly suited for fretless-type basses.
Slightly raising the BASS and HIGH-MID settings is an
effective way to fatten the core sound of the fretless bass.
When using an electric upright bass, turning down the
TREBLE to adjust the sound creates a sound approximating
that of a wooden acoustic upright. This also produces a natural
sound with acoustic upright basses.
This is a smooth bass sound, just right for jazz and soul.
For a thicker, bouncier sound, raise the LOW-MID setting.
When playing in bigger bands, switching the SHAPE switch to
ON or turning up the HIGH-MID knob slightly is effective in
preventing the bass sound from getting buried in the overall
sound.
When used with wood basses, setting the SHAPE switch to OFF
results in a sound resembling that of 60s-style miked recordings.
Setting SHAPE to ON produces the sound of basses recorded with
piezo pickups in the '70s.
