    Distorting active bass

    Hello people, Just got my bass back from the local tech today and glad to report all is well. He done a combination of things that had been mentioned on here.... Lowered the pickup at the bridge as this was the one getting the distortion & also advised to roll off the bass a little bit on...

    Farty compressor

    Thanks for the opinions and information. I managed to try using the amp today with another active bass, the amp had no issues at all with regards to the distortion (the bass I tried out was a 6-string and the amp could handle the B-string without any issues). I also tried lowering the...

    Farty compressor

    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have had some distortion in my signal when picking the low string harder. I have taken my compression pedal out of the signal chain and am still getting it so it is obviously not the problem (I had already used the trim pot to reduce the gain as much...

    Hartke Hydrive 210C/Combo opinions

    Hi, just looking for some opinions. Looking at getting a new combo (can't really afford the cab/amp), looking at getting something around the 200w range, am currently using the Roland Bass Cube 100 but need something a little more powerfull to compete with my drummer! I've noticed the...

    Distorting active bass

    I can get it back in the chain by first putting the output from my bass through a D.I box and taking some gain off the signal using the pad. I can run it straight into my compression pedal but have to turn the signal right down on the volume knob on the bass which seems a bit ridiculous & I...

    Active P'ups vs. Passive P'ups w/ Active EQ

    Although, its just slightly off topic....does anybody know if it possible to reduce the output on an active bass if the signal is too hot? I have been going from my bass, into a compression pedal, into my amp. Recently I started to get a distorted signal and replaced the battery in both the...

    Distorting active bass

    Thanks for the info guys, I have found that it must be the bass. I tried going straight from the bass to the amp again and was still getting some distortion but used the -10dB option on the amp which cleared it up no problem. The only problem is now I can't use my pedal! Is there any way...

    Distorting active bass

    Hi, I have recently encountered a problem with my setup that I can't seem to solve. I am currently using a Warrwick active bass, a Roland Cube 100W amp and a Demeter Compulator Compression Pedal. A couple of weeks ago I started getting a really distorted sound. I replaced the battery in my...
