Ok, so the fizz sound returned. I may have jumped too quickly to a solution when thinking it was vibrations from the bass. Although the vibrations did create some unpleasant overtones, which have been reduced. In doing further testing I plugged the bass directly into the interface as someone...

Thanks. Currently deciding whether I take the gamble on this knowing it might need a little work to it, or just drop some extra money and get a Squier CV P bass from a store near me, can try this one out beforehand too...

Yeah, this is what I'm a bit worried about.. the fact that the store has reduced the price from retail significantly makes me wonder if they're trying to get rid of them. If I could try it out in store it'd be fine. I'm also looking at a Squier CV P bass in a walnut with maple neck/fretboard in...

This bass looks very nice and of likely higher quality than the one I'm looking at, given the price point. Perhaps that it's made in Japan is the difference.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is probably worth the gamble. And if the pickups don't sound great, can always replace them. Do you think Tokai would be fender spec? Wondering if upgraded pickups would fit.

Hi everyone, I have been thinking of getting a P bass and through my search stumbled across a store selling a Tokai Legacy P Style bass for only $350 AUS brand new, which is really cheap for a guitar here. These are the specs posted on the website: BODY: Basswood NECK: Canadian Maple Bolt-On...

Thanks. I've got a battery in at the moment. May as well keep it in! Re. The fizz. While investigating things I noticed vibrations on the guitar around the nut and at the bridge. The were faint, but could be heard clearly if I put my ear to the guitar. The vibrations were loudest at the end of...

Thanks. Yeah I do have this. I was actually wondering when reading through it, if I use XLR into my Warm preamp, do I have to use phantom power? Or can I still just use battery to power the sansamp? The instructions weren't too clear on this.

Thanks. Yeah I was having a hard time actually finding where it was cause I could hear it at the nut and the bridge. I tightened the areas on the headstock but didn't look at the saddle screws, will look at that too to make sure there's no vibrations there. I also used slightly thicker strings...

Yeah, both pickups turned up. There is definitely more hum with just one pickup. I did what I mentioned above (put new strings on with thicker gauge), and also tightened a few things and put some pencil in the nut. Now the vibration at the nut seems to have reduced a lot - this also seems to...

Ok, so I've been doing some more testing this morning. Interestingly I noticed that a sound similar to the fizzy decay was slightly audible without the BDDI in the chain (although nowhere near as loud), particularly when digging in and only on low notes (E.g. open E, first few frets on E, open A...

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I'm in Australia so it's morning here. Will try all the suggestions today and see how it goes, will post back.

The BDDI V2 doesn't have line or inst switches, but instead has a +20db pad switch for XLR out, and +10db boost switch for 1/4' out. It is possible I'm doing something wrong with the gain staging. I'll try the pad switch and see if anything changes

Yeah, I will definitely try this. Initially I had thought it wouldn't be this because I have fed hot signals into the premap from my ox box without issues. But maybe the bass' low end is doing something

Thanks for the suggestion. So you think the fizzle sound / unpleasant drive sound could be the presence knob? That sounds like a good idea with splitting the signals like you suggest, I will give that a go.
