Re: actives help

All basses and amps are different so when using active electronics
which I preffer my self try this. Set all your EQ settings on your bass
and amp both to flat positions first in other words set them at half
way or 5 oclock then reset your EQ's on your amp first to your liking
then set all your EQ's on your bass to your likeing. Active electronics
on your bass is like an EQ on your amp.It cuts and boosts according to
whether you set them closer to zero witch is cut and ten which is
boost.I hope this helps.
