Hey everybody, I've been using my AX8 on bass for years now when I'm on the road (currently alternating between Butch Walker, Natasha Bedingfield and Richard Marx), and have gotten a few requests to do a video about it, so that's what I did. I walk through my most basic preset (attached below) and show you how I use a few different elements in the AX8 to make up the bass tone that I send to the front of house. As I explain in the video, I don't do anything radical and it's all pretty subtle, but I've been very happy with the results for years now, and so are the sound people I work with. Hope you enjoy!

That tone sounds awesome through my iem’s. Makes me wish I had a bass to try it out haha. That tip on the ring mod was super cool!

Thanks bo13bo! I don't remember which forum user I picked that up from, unfortunately. In combination with that EQ, I think it really works well, much more convincing than the pitch block.
