Re: Midrange boost..?



What kind of bass/electronics/pickups?

I had an MTD that was very midrangy and slap friendly (although very
adjustable) that i got rid of ....I prefer to use my Lakland for my current
situation (live electronica, drum'n bass, ambient loopiness) ... not much
slapping though, but it had a good slap tone if needed. FWIW, the Lakland
has amazing range of tones available even though the MTD had a that handy
3-position midrange selection switch for boost/cut.

I was thinking of checking out that Boss EQ pedal since it provides the
ability to save a few settings:

I'm still searching on how to get that deep sub-bass analog gated wave 
sound
out of my electric bass ... I've tried EQs, Lovetone Meatball, octave
pedals, Ibanez AW7 Auto-Wha/Synth, and a Frostwave Resonant Filter ... 
still
not there yet ... Tim Lefebvre can get a great emulation of this sound with
his set-up on the Boomish and Droid material ... not sure how he gets it
though.
