R-19 for DIY bass traps?

Since my budget isn't allowing for prebuilt bass traps (I have more time than money) I was considering building traps for my room (13'3"x17'x9-12' sloped back
ceiling). Somebody had mentioned at one point that 12" thick R-19
insulation would be as good as 705. Would you think that would be a good
way to go or perhaps it would be better to use the 705 and distance it from
the wall?

There are a few studios in my area that like the results they get but before go building crazy I thought I'd ask for the help of the experts here. My room has saltillo tile floors with rugs and the rest is just bare walls with some Auralex T-Fusers on the left and right of my mix walls. No foam or any other treatment as of yet.

The bass is incredibly bad in this room!

Thank you for the help.
