Pete Griffin Shows How a Few EQ Moves Can Transform Your Bass Tone | Ashdown OBM-300 Amp Head

Pete Griffin (Dethklok, Zappa Plays Zappa and Generation Axe with Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi) demonstrates the Ashdown OBM-300 bass head paired with the RBM-112T cabinet, showing how its intuitive 5-band EQ, Pre-Shape control and effects loop make it easy to dial in everything from vintage P-Bass warmth to more contemporary cutting bass tones. "On top of Ashdown’s classic Pre-Shape switch, the OBM-300 adds a 5-band EQ, so you can really get the sound you're looking for,” says Griffin. “You can either add or subtract some of those high mids or the low mids to clear out some space for low-toned guitars or a kick drum, or you can crank it to dominate some of those frequencies a little bit more if that's what you're going for.” In this video: • Hear how the OBM-300's five-band EQ shapes vintage, modern and mid-forward bass tones with just a few adjustments • Discover why Pete Griffin says the VU meter is one of Ashdown's most useful—and coolest—features • Learn how the effects loop helps preserve your fundamental bass tone while using chorus and other effects • Find out why Griffin relies on Ashdown amps for everything from Dethklok to Frank Zappa's music Check out the OBM-300 and RBM-112T: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Ashdown/... https://www.guitarcenter.com/Ashdown/...
