You know what I have never quite understood. Bass Amps ... I looked at your beginning speech about them ... but I was just wondering ... How do people set there Tones to sound ... I mean ... My amp has Four Tone Controls. Low, Low-mid, High-mid and High. They all have Numbers on them ranging from 1 to 10 ... I was wondering how to set them so I have a good "punchy" tone. I guess what I am asking is how are your amps tonal controls set up.
Also ... can someone Tell me how a Graphic Equalizer works?

Here's a couple of standard settings I scanned from my amp's owner's manual:
Hope this helps you a bit.. I really havent messed my hands on a four tone amp.. all the ones ive had only had bass, mid and treble. The 'funk' setting would be your best bet for a nice punchy sound. 3nodding Yojobimmbo Also ... can someone Tell me how a Graphic Equalizer works?

PREVIOUS GEAR REVIEW OF (08/19/04)!
Make / Model:
Yamaha RBX170 4-String Bass
Gear Type:
Bass Guitars
Cost / Purchase Detail:
Musician's Friend has them for $176.99 (plus tax)
What I liked:
First things first, I liked the price. Not that bad of a buy for someone looking for a bass on a budget and at the same time doesnt want to degrade by buying a squier. (that of course just could be a bais statement).
What I didn't like:
After playing many different styles on this bass I've found that the strings tend to buzz when you play on the E & A strings (two lower strings in standard tuning of course) and also that it's a bit to heavy and over bearing to play comfortably.
Construction / Quality:
Let's just say you get what you pay for. It isn't anything to brag about but of course it isn't that bad either. It is something that could hold together after a few drops but I would seriously recommend completely replacing the bridge & pick ups (if not buying a better bass) if you plan on playing bass for real.
Bottom Line:
As far as price and quality goes, this is a good "learner" bass. Other than that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who was looking for a serious instrument.
Kyrenx Rates this Guitar: 3.6 out of 5!

well, as a very first bass...the Ibanez SR200, but since you already have a Squire... how much are you willing to spend?

BaSsStuD hey Kyrenx i was wondering what kind of amp do you have and also what you thought about the Ibanez SR305DX 5-String Bass
Fender Bassman 60
(my practice & long distance travel amp... I prefer using this one for performances in small bars)
Ampeg B5R Amplifier Head with Gallien-Krueger 210SBX 200W 2X10" and 115SBX 200W 1X15" cabnet
(Used many only for gigs, this sweet combo gives me all the power i need xd )
and it's quite weird that you ask about the Ibanez SR305DX 5-String... because I was actually looking at one the other day (and have been looking at for the at least a year now sweatdrop ) and I swear.. if I were to buy a 5 string.. it would definintly be that one. (just the idea of dishing out even more money (in which I currently dont have lots of after all the stuff i already bought). I could go on with all the stuff that i love and hate about the bass but i'll just wait and write a more detail review on it later on.
