The Mustang LT25 (and Rumble series) naturally leans scooped and modern, so mids are pushed to 6 while treble is shaved to 4 to mirror the flatwound P-bass thud. The Ibanez GSR200's P-pickup on the neck matches the core frequency, but keep the Phat II active bass boost knob turned fully off to avoid boomy low-end mud. The Mustang LT25 faceplate does not feature a dedicated hardware presence control, so presence is null.
