  1. How to Create a Great Bass Setup Ben Collison Nicole Ryan CST-147 4 February 2015

  2. 1. Pick a Bass • There are brands such as Fender, Gibson, Ernie Ball, Jackson, ESP, as well as many, many more! • Many things make basses sound different, such as the make of the body, the make of the neck, and the pickups in the bass.

  3. 2. Pick an amp! • Depending on where you will be playing, there are different sizes and brands to accommodate. • There are practice amps, which are very small; combo amps, which have a bigger speaker and more options; as well as separate amp and speaker combinations.

  4. 3. Pick speakers! • If you are playing a practice or combo amp, you will not need to worry about this part! • If you have a separate amp from your speakers, there are many different kinds of speaker cabinets you can choose. • There are 1x15 cabinets, which carry a lot of low end. 4x10 and 8x10 are more common speaker cabinet setups.

  5. 4. Pick effects! • There are many other sounds and effects you can choose to supplement your sound. • Distortion, fuzz, wah, whammy, flanger, reverb, delay, and phaserare all kinds of effects. • This part is big on personal preference, try things out!

  6. 5. Play bass! • Everything listed in this PowerPoint is entirely up to personal preference, try different types of basses, amps, speakers, and effects to see what you like the best! • There are many other options for everything that I didn’t mention, just try things out and learn for yourself!
