Warwick Sweet 15 Bass Amp: Funk (Slap & Pop)

Equipment Used

Musicman Sterling bass

Carl Martin compressor

Electro-harmonix Q-tron envelope filter

Zoom 506 bass processor

Description
A really nice funky bass and treble sound like the Flea's sound. Ideal for slap sytle funk
because the slaps bring forward the bass and the pops bring the treble out to an
excess.Sounds excellent when slapped very fast and you get a mixture of low and high notes
which are bassy and trebley respectively.
Setting
The mid on your amp and bass should be right down or at a bare minimum. Turn the bass up
to achieve the strength of sound that you want. If your cannot hear/feel the basses lowest
string clearly over/under the guitar then turn it up until you do. The treble should be turned up
past the bass by one or two units until you can hear the sharp snap of the D and G string
when you pop and until all your notes no matter how softly you hit the string sound seperated.
These settings should be mimicked closely on your bass especially if you have active
electronics. Most importantly you should not hit the strings too hard but turn the amp up. The
point of this being that you really hit them hard when slapping and popping so the effect is
very accentuated.

An experienced bass player will "dial" in their bass amplifier to provide the best tone for
their style of playing. A properly set up bass amplifier cannot make a bad player good,
but an improperly set up amp makes a good player sound horrible. Properly dialing in a
bass amplifier helps the player not only achieve the best sound but also fully understand
the operation and limitations of their amplifier. Read on to learn how to dial in a bass
amplifier.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Plug a bass into the amplifier and turn all controls to the 12 o'clock position except for
volume which should be turned completely down. Some bass amplifiers, but not all, have
more than one channel and separate volume controls for each channel. If this is the case,
set all channel volumes to 12 o'clock, and start dialing in the main channel first. If the
amp has effects of any kind, turn them off.
Step2
Turn on the bass and amplifier. Play a few notes and adjust the volume until the desired
sound level is achieved.
Step3
Play a bass line representative of the music that the bass amplifier will be used to play.
Adjust the midrange tone control up and down until the best tone for the bass line is
achieved with only the midrange being adjusted. This may take several minutes. Repeat
the process for the bass or low controls. Finally, adjust the treble or high controls.
Step4
Repeat the last step for every channel on the bass amplifier. If the amp has a graphic
equalizer, adjust it only after all channels are set up. Typically equalizers can be turned
off and are used to provide a slightly different voice, or tone, on an already set up channel
for special circumstances (such as a bass solo). Play something typical for the intended
use of the equalizer and first adjust the middle slider for the best sound. Then adjust the
bass sliders and finally the treble controls.

Step5
Experiment with the settings periodically, as tastes and needs will change over time.
