I installed a 10K bleeder resistor across the output jack and solved the problem. I may go back with a higher value if I see battery life suffering. Thanks for the recommendations.

Placing the live output through any switch in/out device such as a pedal tuner causes the loud pop. I will follow up and check if the amp has some type of DC bias that may be causing the problem. The other thread I listed was from another person with the same model bass so its definitely not...

RobbieK, Thanks for the response. This is a single +9VDC sourced internal preamp located within the bass. The tip to earth readings are about 3.6 volts upon initial power up and bleed down to less than half a volt after about 12 seconds. There is an immediate voltage spike upon power removal...

I just recently purchased a new Stagg Electric Upright Bass and am having the same problem posted by another TalkBass member some time ago. The output has a significant DC bias that takes some time to dissipate. For a high impedance amp this bias can remain to some degree. This causes...

I am having the exact problem with my recently purchased Stagg Upright Bass. I use this at church and rely on a pedal tuner for quick checks between songs. I cannot do this with the Stagg unit due to the extremely loud pops during switching. I have measured the same voltages as discussed in...
