Band Members:"The reason I love Fender basses so much comes with the “dinga dinga dinga†sound I hear in the midrange when played with a pick. If you don't have any “ding†in your bass sound, this could be a HUGE problem when it comes to getting your bass to cut through. In fact, if you don't have that dinga dinga bass sound, you are probably not going to cut through anything. (See the concrete truck analogy in the paragraph above).
Another huge reason to have midrange definition in your bass sound is obvious when you start playing notes on higher strings. If you have an enormous low end in your bass, and then you hit a note on the A, D, or G strings you'll probably find that the low end is completely gone. Of course, if all you have is low end in your bass guitar tone, you have NOTHING when you go to strings with little or no low end. This is HUGE reason that bass players can't hear the notes they are playing...because no one can hear the notes they are playing! You may be able to hear this higher notes practicing in your bedroom, but when you are competing with guitar, vocals, drums and who knows what else the change is going to be so drastic that the bass guitar is simply going to be lost.

EQ Tip: If you aren't getting the dinga dinga sound you want, try boosting 800Hz-1Khz.."BEAUTIFUL QUOTE FROM SOMEONE CALLED 'BRANDON DRURY" IN AN ARTICLE ON GETTING BASS GUITARS TO CUT IN A MIX
