    Mesa Subway D-800+ noise/buzz at high levels. Normal? Bad power?

    Mesa Subway D-800+ noise/buzz at high levels. Normal? Bad power?

    @agedhorse I have noise coming specifically from the DI output on my Subway 800+ (bought new in ‘21). I played a show this week where we noticed it. The sound guy used his DI (parallel output into the 800+ input) and the noise was gone. Do you have an idea what the problem could be? Thanks!

    High action vs. Low

    My action is higher now because of the rock band I’m in. I play a ‘98 Fender American Deluxe Precision allows for any tone in any style, and my action is usually lower to accommodate different styles. That simply doesn’t work with this band. I’m considering getting a different, cheaper bass...

    Scott’s bass lessons

    SBL (free stuff) is ok. I don’t like his “you must play this way and only this way” on techniques and I REALLY don’t like him telling us mortals to not switch between 4 and 5 string basses. He says you must to play one or the other and not go back and forth even though he does it himself. I...
