Thanks. What is your EQ set to? And what are the controls on your bass at?

After further troubleshooting with my other bass. The distortion only happens on the amp when I play hardly. This happens on both basses, however, the strings are very close to the PUPs on both basses. The distortion sounds worse on the shecter because it has more fret buzz being amplified. I...

Awesome response! My bass has an option to be either active or passive (push pull tone pot). Would you recommend using it in passive. Also whats the volume like on your bass? And what is your eq at (cause I have had many people say different things for this amp are flat)?

Thanks for all the responses. I think my issue is my setup and how close the strings are to the pickups because I only get this distortion when playing with tons of force or on notes on the E string. I did some tests. I turned up volume but did not play extra hard or try and put extra punch into...

Thanks man. Would you still recommend using the compressor though?

Hmm I don't know if my compressor is or isn't an HPF

I have a TREX Neo Compressor (Sorry if that is not the answer you are looking for)

Alright so less bass on the shecter and amp can lead to more headroom?

Thanks. Will turning down the EQ knobs on the shecter help as well?

Thanks. I have it on most of the times

Awesome response, thanks a ton. I just want to make sure I am understanding stuff correctly. In order to prevent the distortion, I should lower bass output and increase the volume of the amp? And doing this will give me the same volume? So I could have the output of the bass on like 1 and then...

I do not believe the limiter will change lights when the signal is too hot. The limiter does help a tiny bit but is definitely not a replacement to a compression pedal.

Thanks. I plan to take it to our local tech. And there is no gain. However, it does have the old fender tone stack circuitry.

I do not have exact measurements but many people have told me the action is too low.
