My favorite setting for slap funk is the Bass and Treble up half or more each and the Mids cut just as much.

This creates a notch filter effect, notching the mids out as it cleans out the low treble noise that drowns out the sizzle and takes out the high bass roll off which is just going nowhere.

My favorite setting for slap funk is the Bass and Treble up half or more each and the Mids cut just as much. I'll have to try this one.

There are many options that's for sure. I know with the bass amplification I use and the Smith 3-Band Circuit, I've never had a problem dialing in most anything. :)

Hmmm...
 
Hmmm, a "Bass Settings" thread might be an interesting topic. Give everyone a chance to share their favorite settings with their favorite Bass Amp.? Strings, set-up, bass amplification, etc. could lead to some subjectivity, but maybe fun if nothing else.
