Re: EQ for bass live, studio recording, or general purpose

If you like your rig as much as you say you do, It seems silly to me
that the seven band EQ is left flat is fine, but that a 31 band will
achieve tone nirvana. Realize that a minor eq change is not going to
effectively change your sound one noticable bit in an ensemble
situation in a room playing music. Move the cabinet a few inches in or
out from the wall. Raise it a few inches off the floor. Stand a few
feet closer, or farther away. Try different strings. For a "mid "
boost, try a low bass cut, and then turn it up a bit.

When I had the 7bands graphic on my preamp I used to boost some frequencies.
Now I'm using an ART Tube MP preamp (no eq.) and I'd like to have some
controls. As I said the flat sound is good but a small boost on some
frequencies would be nice :-p
I'm also talking about the recorded sound.
