    Both Bass and Treble EQ are Boost and Cut both Chic and Queen song has been highly processed before anyone actually hears it and then depends on Audio System or Headphones used a reference and Bass Rig player has. May take some work to find exact tone with your own resources.

    I ordered online and got a great deal. I had watched all of the videos I could find on it. I thought it would imitate exactly the old school 1970's pre-EB Stingrays. It was not close. The volume and both tone knobs did not feel solid like the Stingray Specials did. They felt loose or something. There is no central detent (They don't cut but just increase - which is what the vintage ones did). I could not figure out how to get the "Another One Bites the Dust" or Chic sound. Maybe you will like it. If you don't, returns are fotunately easy.
