USING THE BASSBONE WITH ONE BASS

Start by making your connections as described in Section 4 and make

sure you are connected to input-1. Bassbone automatically feeds both

channels when the input-jack on channel-2 is not used.

As discussed earlier, when only using one bass, the Bassbone can be

used like a 2-channel pre-amp whereby one can transition between

channel-1 and channel-2 by simply depressing the toggle switch.

Following a similar path as described when using two basses, you would

set your ampliﬁer EQ and level while using channel-1. This would be

your normal sound. You could of course introduce one of the Bassbone

voicing settings if desired. We suggest that you begin with the channel-

1 output level set at 2 o’clock and adjust your ampliﬁer to the desired

listening level.

Switching to channel-2 will then let you access the Bassbone’s powerful

EQ section. This can make a passive bass sound active or vise versa!

You could for instance set your standard bass tone to be warm and fat

and set the EQ on channel-2 for mid-range cut and added clarity.

POWER BOOST AND EFFECT LOOP

Now that you have the coolest sound in the world, it’s time for the crowd-

stopping 25 minute bass solo!

The Bassbone is equipped

with a power booster that

can be used for soloing

or special effects. To add

more fun and ﬂexibility, the

BOOST ASSIGN is a 3-

position selector switch that

lets you assign the BOOST

footswitch to boost only,

effect-loop only or both.

Being able to engage both

the boost and the effects

loop with a ‘single foot action’ adds tremendous ﬂexibility while reducing

‘tap dancing’ on stage. For instance you may want to kick the bass up

a notch and introduce a ﬂanger at the same time. For this, the BOOST

ASSIGN switch would be set to BOTH. This has the advantage of keeping

noisy effect devices out of the signal chain when not being used.
