a 31-band graphic equalizer at the flick of a switch.
Renowned professional players helped define these
sounds and we painstakingly tuned them to give
you instant tone at your fingertips.
BASSFORCE XXL SOUND I:
Warm bottom end, easy on the mids, shimmering highs,
suitable for all playing styles.
BASSFORCE XXL SOUND II:
Highly defined and precise, lets you and your audience hear
every nuance of your slap technique.
BASSFORCE XXL SOUND III:
Fretless bass tone, also ideal for ballads, particularly when the
preamp is ever so slightly saturated.
BASSFORCE XXL SOUND IV:
Heavy stuff for serious headbanging; regardless whether you
use a pick or your fingers, this is a great sound for
rock bass.
