"The reason I love Fender basses so much comes with the “dinga dinga dinga” sound I hear in the midrange when played with a pick. If you don't have any “ding” in your bass sound, this could be a HUGE problem when it comes to getting your bass to cut through. In fact, if you don't have that dinga dinga bass sound, you are probably not going to cut through anything. (See the concrete truck analogy in the paragraph above).
Another huge reason to have midrange definition in your bass sound is obvious when you start playing notes on higher strings. If you have an enormous low end in your bass, and then you hit a note on the A, D, or G strings you'll probably find that the low end is completely gone. Of course, if all you have is low end in your bass guitar tone, you have NOTHING when you go to strings with little or no low end. This is HUGE reason that bass players can't hear the notes they are playing...because no one can hear the notes they are playing! You may be able to hear this higher notes practicing in your bedroom, but when you are competing with guitar, vocals, drums and who knows what else the change is going to be so drastic that the bass guitar is simply going to be lost.
.
EQ Tip: If you aren't getting the dinga dinga sound you want, try boosting 800Hz-1Khz.."

"So what do you do then?". I hate that question .... too fucking much to sum up for you in one carefully thought out sentence matey boy !! . I'm a sound engineer, producer, studio owner, composer & bass player.... a bit of a busy bastard. I love music, playing it ; making it ; listening to it ; taking it apart; putting it back together ; talking about it and occasionally dancing to it too. I've played in loads of different bands over the years (The Clocks Strike 13; Ten Day Trial; Bob The Nob & The Fabulous Ball Bags; As Able As Kane(AAAK); Dingo; The Twin Dilemma; Cy Berman (mk1); Pieces; The Audiophiles; The Fall; PJ Harvey; The Hired Help; Moris Tepper; Bobbie Peru; Cy Berman (mk2)) - which probably means I must be a right difficult and obnoxious bastard to work with. I 've played gigs and worked in studios all over the world at lots of different levels.Through that I've worked with and met, some totally amazingly inspiring people, some famous, some not and been involved in what I consider to be some fantastic musical collaborations. Earlier this year I was on the road for a spell of gigs, playing bass for the legendary Mr. Frank Black. One of those gis, from The Paradiso in Amsterdam, is watchable in the player below.

When I'm at home in the UK, I run a recording studio called 6dB in Manchester and offer cheap deals for unsigned bands. This page is being used to represent my current music work, which is with the Mancunian based band, 'Bobbie Peru' and my older project with Josh Klinghoffer and other musicians; 'The Hired Help'.

Other Myspace pages you should check out, are www.myspace.com/bobbieperu and www.myspace.com/cybermanding which is my dance music project. If you are in a band and are looking for somewhere cool and cheap to record, in a relaxed atmosphere and where the engineer might just take the piss out of you whilst you're recording, then my studio might be the one for you, so please check out www.myspace.com/6dbstudio ... all those links are in my top friends.
