Sample Settings
D-BASS 210/115
Set the VOLUME knob at appropriate volume level.
WOODY JAZZ
fig.sample_1
A warm bass sound perfectly suited for jazz. This provides a natural sound even when an acoustic bass is connected. To fatten the core sound,
raise the BASS and MID levels. You can correct any typical high-frequency problems with piezo pickups by slightly turning down the TREBLE or
TWEETER setting.
SLAP BASS
fig.sample_1
This sound, with a cut in the midrange frequencies, is great for slap bass performance. Setting the SHAPE switch to ON creates a sound with a
boost at the low and high ends. To get a crisp slap sound, lower the MIDDLE setting and raise the TREBLE. This emphasizes the brightness of the
string sound, resulting in a slap sound with a lighter pull sound. You can limit any discrepancies in dynamics by setting the COMPRESSION to
the appropriate level in STANDARD mode.
ROCK DRIVE
fig.sample_1
This fat, growing sound resembles the sound you get by playing through a tube amp at high volume. The idea here is to apply COMPRESSION in
TUBE LOGIC mode deeply. To further fatten the sound when the strings are flat picked, set the SHAPE switch to ON. Raising the TREBLE setting
results in a dazzling, aggressive tone.
SOLO PLAY
fig.sample_1
This wide-range sound leaves out nothing, not even the subtle nuances in bass solos and other diverse types of performances. Even with highly
complex sounds such as those of tapped chords, all the variations in tone, including those produced by differences in string pressure and touch,
are faithfully reproduced, providing all the detail of the player’s expression.
SMOOTH FINGER
fig.sample_1
A smooth bass sound perfectly suited for jazz and soul. Use the rear pickup for an electric jazz tone, the front pickup for a soul tone. To further
clarify the sense of pitch and contour, raise the midrange with the MIDDLE knob. When playing in bigger bands, slightly raising the TREBLE
setting is an effective way to prevent the bass sound from being lost in the other sounds.
