is it my technique or my bass?

Sign in to disble this ad
When I crank up the treble volume theres alot fo unwanted noise when i play. like i slightly slide my fingers across an open string, you can even hear the sound...something lik this clip

Is there any other way to soften those noise other than turning down the treble knob?

I could'nt open your file to listen to your sample, but what I think you are talking about is string/fret noise...just sharpen your techniqe...not that I know how you play, but you can control some of this sound ...how long you been playing?

Treble does amplify all the buzz and unwanted junk, so yes it's your treble, although technique helps a little bit, it will not completely remedy it.

halfrounds or flatwounds will stop squeaks. turning down the treble on your amp will help. honing your technique will help alot as well.
