I recently purchased said head and slapped it on my Slingerland (very thin shelled) 22 natural wood (no wrap) bass. It sounded like garbage. I have a felt strip and tried that. No joy. I have a sweeeeet Ray McKinley internal bass muffler that I installed. No joy. I swapped batters between Evans heads and Remo coated Emp and such. No joy. I played with tight, med, and loose tensioning on both sides. What the heck? This reso head is a piece of junk! Can anyone guide me on getting a pleasing sound out of it? Right now, I've mastered the thin tin and flappy toy sound. Got that one down pat. How 'bout something a bit warmer and woodier...where is that? I can get some nice sounds out of this bass with different combo's of heads. I understand that bit and am fairly adept at it. But this head just ain't doing it. What am I missing here? These things are popular, so it must be me. Enlighten me, please.
