_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [F] Up to now, I've been showing you how the preamp works with a passive bass.
This bass has a preamp, but I had it turned off.
And here's the bass passive [G] again.
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Right, here's active.
_ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ Okay?
So if you have a preamp on your bass, you're not going to need as much EQ from your preamp.
With this sound, _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
I just want to add a little bit of compression.
I'll watch the light to see when it kicks in.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [D] _
Okay?
A little compression, maybe I want to pull back on the highs a little bit. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ Right?
So it's more subtle stuff when you already have a preamp.
But this thing still comes in handy.
Like I said, you can use it as a direct box, and based on what's going on in the room,
you can start adding with your mid-range to adjust for the room or for the song.
You know what I mean?
So there you go.
I hope this is helpful.
I hope the sound is better. _ _
Hopefully, not just for the preamp, but hopefully this helps explain EQ and compression to you
in general, because I know a lot of bass players have a lot of questions.
So hit me up, Fender.com if you have any questions.
I'll be glad to answer.
_ _ Or MarcusMiller.com or MyFace, Facebook, whatever.
I'm on them all.
All right?
Okay.
Have a great day.
Talk to you later.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
