Why these settings

The Ibanez SR500E's active Bartolini pickups are brighter and faster in transient attack than Roger Waters' vintage passive P-bass. Run exclusively on the neck pickup, flip the mid-frequency switch to 400Hz or 700Hz with a slight mid boost on the bass EQ, and roll the passive tone/treble control down to tame top-end clank. The Rumble LT25's Vintage/Flip Top model delivers the warm tube-style bottom end, while pushing the amp's mid control to 7 adds the signature Abbey Road mix cut.

PRO TIPPluck fingerstyle directly over the neck pickup using the fleshy pads of your index and middle fingers, rather than your fingertips, to produce the rounded, warm fundamental heard throughout the verse grooves.
