hey im lookin for a way to get through the sound.

but i dont mean my bass getting heard over the guitars, i mean the drums.

we play a song where the drums come in for 2 bars, then i come in for 2 bars with the drummer, then everyone else comes in.

The problem is that i cant ever seem to be heard , but as soon as the guitars come in i sound at a perfect level.

ive tried using my overdrive but even thats not working. i tried using my wah aswell. helped slightly. . . should i just take the intro up the octave to make it noticable or what?

anyone got any idea how i could cut through better (without changing my EQ)?

cheers

surely changing your EQ would be one of the best ways of cutting through? an EQ pedal like the one Boss does for example.

Thats what I would have thought, trying using another/a mates bass see if that makes a difference.

yeah but my sound does cut through, just when the guitars there, its just the intro alone that doesnt really bite your head off . if that makes sense.
i have a tone i really love.

i was thinking of chaning my on board eq just for the intro, like put more treble into it. but i like the bass sound. ack

What bass/amp are you using? How is your EQ set?

Try boosting the mids to cut through.....

my bass is a warwick corvette std 5 with 2 EQ.
i have the onboard eq set to bass on fully, with treble about mid.

my amps a behringer 120w (cant remember the actual model of the top of my head)
with the EQ like:

Bass: 8
low mids: 6
high mids: 5
treble: 5

i think thats it anyway. its weird cause it cuts through everyother time, just this damned intro where its just me and the drummer

EQ pedal, on @ start off the rest?

[WoodyRATM]

so i am basicly just aswell getting an EQ pedal just for the intro?
dont they give alot of noise?

any recomendations on which EQ to buy?

your sound is really bass heavy, is it not really muddy for the rest of your stuff? i've always yound that with the bass hiugh on the EQ i just get a really fluffy, loud, boomy kinda mess with no definition. i'd drop the bass and pick up the overall volume and see if that helps at all.
