Apologies if this has come up in the thread before, but does anyone have any tone/EQ tips for a guitar player playing with a drummer and no bass? I recently put together a rock trio that turned into a duo when our bassist dropped out, and we have a show coming up that we don’t want to cancel.

I’ve tried just turning up the bass on my amp, but that doesn’t quite seem to cut it. We’re trying to go for something in the vicinity of a Flat Duo Jets kind of sound, if that helps.

Ideally I’d like to avoid solving the problem with more gear, but I have considered switching to a baritone guitar or using a sub octave pedal if we stick with this instrumentation long term.

Most of those kinds of bands bi-amp into both a bass and guitar rig, which is the setup I’d go with if you can afford it.

I was considering getting a bass cab to run my amp through, or maybe just trade in my Deluxe Reverb for a Bassman, but this might be the better way to go.
