Hi all,

I’m in a cover band and aiming for that smooth, allround bass tone.

After tweaking my sound a lot with my current setup, I’m unable to find that real smooth, rounded tone. Whatever setting I chose, I’m still getting a clear sound that includes clear picking/strumming sound and clearly sounds like a string instrument if that makes sense.

Not saying this is my favorite sound, but I’m after a sound like in this clip: https://www.538.nl/muziek/optredens/videos/jan-smit-zingt-tranquilo-live-in-de-538-ochtendshow

Current gear:

- Sire Z7-5 string
- Boss GEB-7 EQ
- MXR Bass Compressor
- Sansamp Bass Driver DI direct into mixer

Any tips on how to achieve this tone?
