Hi Marty, I am physically disabled and I wanted to let you know that your music has inspired me to do something positive with my life and play music.My question is this, I have a crate solid state amp and I cannot seem a good setting for the gain channel it ends up sounding like mud and swallows up my bass player. Is there a trick to getting a gain setting that cuts through and doesn't mask the bass player. Thank you

Hi Sean, start with having the bassist adjust his tone to you. Then take gain off of your rig and replace it with volume. "Less gain, more volume" is a phrase that I have repeated many times in my career. Start there and try to let your ears guide you. Best of luck.
