Why these settings

Brian Vainberg's studio bass tone relies on deadened flatwounds with rolled-off treble to create a rounded neo-soul pocket. On the Ross 35B and SX Precision, rolling the bass guitar tone down to 3, boosting low-mids, and shaving highs replicates that smooth, muted vintage thud without modern clack. The Ross 35B lacks gain and presence controls, so overall leveling and saturation control are managed via the Valeton GP-50 preamp block.

PRO TIPPluck lightly with the flesh of your index and middle fingers directly over the base of the neck, or lightly palm-mute with a foam wedge tucked under the strings at the bridge to emulate the flatwound decay.
