hissing

I have a Guild B301 and B301-A and I love them but the pickups are quite noisy. Specially if I turn the tone up. I do not want to change the pickups because I love their tone. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions besides shielding all the cavities. I already did that and it does not help.

At this moment I use my stock preamp of my Atelier Z. And it has a typical hiss noise. A bit worse than the preamp of my Stingray SR5. To be clear: all the hissing noise is gone in the passive position. So, I want to rebuild my Atelier Z. But don't know what preamp to choose. The Drakglass or...

Hello all, As of today, I am the proud owner of a 1989 Yamaha BB200F! I got it for a steal at a local shop today, but I'm having an issue with it. Before I checked out they were nice enough to hit the pots with some DeoxIt and it stopped the majority of the hissing, but now the hissing is back...

Hello. I own an active Cort Action Bass V Plus Electric Bass Guitar. I use Behringer um2 as my audio interface and a late MacBook pro 2012 with logic pro 10.4.8. I plugin the bass to the DI port of my interface. I get a hiss sound from my guitar which is 4 months old. Both in active mode and...

I've had an GK MB800 for years now. It's had noticeable hiss all that time, that has gotten progressively worse I've sent it in for repair from GK a couple of times; each time it comes back a little better, but then degrades over time They refuse to give me a replacement; they just tune up...

I bought an Ibanez sr 505 bass brand new a few months ago. Thing sounded great until the other day. Now there is this underlying hiss sound when you make contact with strings. When your hand is over the strings it is quiet. It is driven by the treble pot and you can hear a difference in the...

My amp is an Ampeg BA-210SP (not the V2). I purchased it used. It has a bad hissing problem. It hisses even when the bass isn't plugged in. The volume and treble controls increase the volume of the hiss. I took it in to the shop but it didn't hiss there. It also makes crackling sounds...

Hello, At the moment I am using a beginner's Harley Benton D.I. pedal with basic eq and compression. On it, the headphone output is so hiss-prone that it's pretty much unusable. Likewise if I connect it to my iMac through the D.I. or line output. Does anybody have a recommendation for...

Hi I got the TRBX 504 a few days ago. I like the tone and how it sounds but the hissing noise is mostly audible and distracting even if I increase the treble slightly. I tried it with an Amp (Rumble 40 v3) and also directly to my audio interface. I'm new to bass and I've never had any other...

Hello everyone as it's my first post on this forum! Recently I've gotten myself the above mentioned combo to get as much acoustic sound as possible for a reasonable price. As far as I'm absolutely pleased with the fidelity of sound it gives for my acoustic double bass as well as for my bass...

I've been experiencing an awful lot of hissing type noise coming from my pedalboard setup. I think I've isolated the problem to my pedalboard but beyond that, I'm having a hard time fixing the issue which is really only a problem when I stop playing while the pedals (one or two in particular)...
