Clean Jazz/Funk/Fusion SS Bass amp
THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD
1) Create a clean, punchy Jazz/Funk/Fusion SS Bass Amp
that can be customized for various tones.
2) Identify the fundamental parameters to convert a Guitar amp to Bass amp
3) Identify the most important parameters for shaping the amp's character
4) Identify the more subtle parameters for shaping the amp's character
5) Explain what each parameter does and why (if possible.)
6) Explain what to listen for.
7) Identify all the unused/null tube parameters in the Jazz 120 amp block (SS.)
WHY DO THIS?
1) to open the door a little wider for more clean Jazz/Funk/Fusion Bass players.
At least, to offer one more useful option.
2) to get FAS users to use more amp parameters, more often, and more intentionally.
3) to have a SS Bass Amp with both working Presence and Depth controls.
4) to allow a SS Bass Amp user to take advantage of the Speaker page parameters
-- particularly the "Speaker Impedance Curve" parameter
Clean SS Bass players can draw more benefit from the speaker colorations
than Tube amp players -- who already have plenty of color in their sound.
5) If possible, when finished, to be able to Tone Match an array
of popular modern SS Bass Amps to this SS Bass Amp model.
6) to make people more fluent with the amp parameter tools that are already available.
So, they can shape and customize the character of their own SS Bass Amp manually.
This is especially, for the FM3 and FM9 users
who don't have Tone Matching or an IR player.
7) to get some careful peer-review and to correct any errors.
8) to draw out more useful ideas and possibilities.
EDIT: Go to the end of the thread for the more worked out information.
