How often do you change your EQ?

[HELLonWHEELS]

I'm directing this primary at Bongo owners. I normally find a setting on my GK fairly close to flat(boosted mids and highs) and i do everything else on the onboard EQ. Yesterday was the first time i touched the EQ on my amp in a couple months or so. So how often do you change it up?

My amp's EQ has been set flat since I got the Bongo...

 

[daangroen]

same, love it the way it is..maybe a little add of bass.

I only ever use one knob on my amp, and that's the master volume.

i have to agree here guys, im a tweak bass and mid up on the bongo eq about a gnats tit amount. the SVT gets left well alone apart from an occasional gain boost when godzilla starts breathing fire

My amp's EQ is set flat as well, with my SR5 (through the MarkBass rig).

I like to mess around with different eqs, I have to really. Probably every time I play. Besides playing different music (metal, jazz, ska, funk) I like to shift the EQ to make the B string tigher when i play my sr5.

The Bongo EQ makes it easy to do. I hardly even touch the EQ on the bass, either. Just roll between the pickups a bit....how easy is that?

I like those guys who say, "I don't like the Bongo because it gives me too many options and I get confused."

Um......sure.

the day i got my bongo, i set my amp's EQ flat, and i have left it like that.

because my bongo is relatively new i am still learning what all it can do- for example, it was just the other day i learned not to dime the volume. it seems like what i have been digging the most is having the low mid boosted just a touch, the high mid boosted even less than that, and switching between both pickups blended and 75% bridge/25% neck as needed, though i am finding that the bongo is very responsive to where your plucking hand is, and as i get used to that more i will probably run the preamp flatter and flatter until it's completely flat.

Flat all around - then slight, minor tweak on amp - then forget it, we're done.

I change mine every 3000 miles.
