    Bass pickups malfunctioning.

    I have a Schecter bass that my bass player uses. It works fine but it has an odd problem. Only one of the pickups seem to work at a time. For example, sometimes the bridge pickup works perfectly fine, but when you switch to the neck pickup, it drastically loses volume, gain, and overall sounds...

    Sansamp RBI Issues

    Recently picked up an RBI. Currently running it into a Peavey Pro 500 (Sansamp->Power Amp In) and it seems to lose volume dramatically when I push the blend knob clockwise and gain volume dramatically when it's going counter clockwise. When it's at 100% blend it hardly has any volume even with...

    Tone is too warm.

    Currently using a peavey head with a tube preamp and a schecter bass with emg HZ's. I think the combo is a bit too warm and ends up sounding muddy with overdrive/distortion. Would active emg's be a good choice to get rid of the overly warm tone? I was thinking about going emg35p and emg 35j...

    Would a new pre-amp fix this?

    There's a hissing high end and a thinness to the tone of the bass I'm currently using, especially when I shift the blend knob towards the bridge. Bass eq is flat and the amp is dialed in with plenty of low end. Possible pre-amp issue?

    Replacement pickups/pre amp for Schecter Damien 4.

    Looking for some recommendations for pickup/pre amp combinations for a Schecter Damien 4 bass with passive emg hz soap bars. The bass is tuned to ADGC, string gauge is 70-160 and is played with a pick. Looking for a very aggressive sound since the band I use it in is a metal/punk kind of band...

    Swollen Pickle on bass in a metal mix.

    Hello TalkBass, me and my brother are beginning a project that can be best characterized as a Blackened Crust band.. Think Mayhem/Darkthrone with D-Beats. I play guitar and bass and he takes care of the drums. As far as our sound, we're going against the traditional scooped sound and my guitar...
