    Help needed with new head/cab combination!

    Hi forum, asking on behalf of my bassist who just bought a budget Class D head and 4x10" cab online! Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Problem is, they don't seem to play nice together! At any kind of real volume, the amp's digital "protection mode" engages and the sound is cut! We...

    Yeah, I'm afraid it may be something like that... Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I've tried multiple 'new' 9V batteries. Anyway, the passive mode should be running fine even if the batteries are dead, yes? I've tried different jack leads and plugging the bass into different stuff. I also checked...

    Hi Sire Bass Club! Since yesterday my V7 seems to have died out of the blue... In passive mode the output is way low and sounding very muddy, like the tone pot is all the way down. Switching to active mode, the sound cuts out almost completely. Mostly just adding noise when boosting the EQ...

    "That" funky vibrato

    Thank you, that's it exactly! The "sting", huh? Very helpful vid, expecially the part about not doing the oscillation too fast!

    "That" funky vibrato

    Hi forum! I'm something of a hack on the bass guitar, but I can usually get advanced technique stuff down when I've put my mind to it. Now I really want to be able to do "vibrato" like it's done on hundreds of funk and fusion songs, for example throughout this song by Snarky Puppy: I haven't...

    Love it!! So, do you have the pickup blend at equal or slightly favoring the bridge?

    For that to be the case, the active/passive switch would need to act as a lever to physically uncouple the output jack from the battery!

    You're probably right, but on the other hand I've never seen a binding like that on a budget bass so who knows..? Looks no "cheaper" than your average Fodera or Fbass or whatever!

    Now that looks like a boutique axe... Think they'll make a neck-through?

    But I ain't got no speakers. Ain't got no headphones. Ain't got no records to play! Fear of Music is among my top ten defining albums!

    That's weird, I've recorded hours and hours of playing since I got the bass and I usually favor the bridge pup. The single-coil hum is just barely audible solo'd (and I have no patience with noise on recordings). Certainly quiter than my vintage MIA Precision! Are you using tons of overdrive...
