More bass isn't louder, it's just more bass

[oinkbanana]

God do I love it when the bass is cranked and rattling my chest
and the more my bassist cranks it, the happier I am.
so I found myself saying this to the bassist in my band this week:
"More bass isn't louder, it's just more bass"

I was amused, he was amused, everyone was amused,
thought i'd share.

anyone else experience this truth?

ive found that this "more bass" is the answer to alot of lifes little questions

I love it when the bass is cranked

I wish more bandmates, soundmen and bar owners felt this way.

[Bassboar]

Yeah. I don't worry about volume, only about the chest shattering low end that's pushing me away.

I worked for a soundguy that couldn't get enough bass.
Unfortunately half of the time he eq'd basses so they only had treble.

I love to crank my bass. My band only has one guitarist and I play with two fuzz pedals (and a boost). We like to play loud.

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

more keyboards.



but yeah, more bass is usually good. but not always... those crazy bass-trap resonant frequencies when you play in weird rooms or on hollow stages are the worst.

I love speaker cabinets that throw all the bass super far away, so I end up cranking it and getting responses from my friends after the show along the lines of "It was so loud, I couldn't really hear anything, I could only feel it. My ears essentially shut down."

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

My ears essentially shut down."

I brough earplugs to the Sunn show when I saw them a few months back. Took them out 3 minutes in. It wasn't about how LOUD it was, I've heard much louder. It was about FEELING it, and I felt like shit the entire time and couldn't breathe because of the force of the sound

[fungalattack]

I like the bass so loud that it shakes the bowels and borders on stopping the heartbeat. But i don't like it when the bass is really loud when they aren't hitting the right notes or aren't picking as fast as I like it...

[D.o.S.]

Depends on the band.
