Do you play your Active Basses volume all the way?

[Samco]

I go about 75% on my volume so that if I need some extra oomph, I can dial it in quickly.

I start with 100% on my volume. If i need the "extra oomph" I turn the EQ knobs at 100 %

You know what I mean

No kidding: 100% at the yolume knob and the EQ on the "flat position". If it is necessary and/or wished I turn the EQ on...
When you turn all EQ knobs at 100% it is just an increase of the volume.
