Just thought I would offer a little advice to the other players out there.

I've been playing with a band for several years now and have found a piece of advice from our veteran guitar player to be quite valuable.

He told me to start the set by putting the volume knob on my bass at about 80% and adjusting the amp volume after this. Then as the band is playing, you only need to reach down and adjust the volume up or down without having to go back to the amp.

This is very simple advice, but it really comes in handy when you are in the middle of the song and don't feel you have enough volume.

Hope this helps.

Sage advice, Jim.

My brother plays through an Acoustic 370 or a Sunn Coliseum and that's the way he determines a baseline for his stage volume.

Rawk on!

Definitely start out with the volume on the amp up. The bass up as well, and adjust the bass volume as needed.

The only time I do an amp setting adjustment is when I need to change the voice setting.
