Does anyone can please tell me how to configure my bass amp, Behringer BX108 Thunderbird to get the slap tone? My Amp has 3 band eq. Bass, Mid and treble. Someone can help me out?

I'm not as good in slapping as the others here but i'll share the little i know. Since having my MXR DI i normally set the eq of my bass amp to flat. or 0 0 0 0 for bass to mids...if its one of those knob like eqs then i'll prob set bass to treble at 5 or something.

the actual tone setting is done at me DI's eq. For my slap tone....i prefer a more "oingo-Boingo" (sorry for the wierd description) sound...a springy bouncy tone. bass and trebles would be boosted while the mids lowered to emphasise the low slaps and sharp pulls. Minor fine tuning are normally done on me bass guitar.

Sometimes if i'm in a jam studio are just having fun with friends I just use which ever bass setting that the previous bass player used and adjust accordingly with my fingers

hope this helps

You can always count on uncle stefanong about bass guitar stuff. However, we think its better that you two carry on taking about this at our very own Bassist thread, the place where many seasoned bassist hang around .... we're sure you'll get more tips from them.
