Bass fart.

[BigEarl]

+1 for Squire and +1 for the Minimark combo (looked like dual 8" Minimark)

I don't hear any farting ... if anything it is too clean ...

I like this kind of bass track

I sort of agree. Technically it isn't a fart....farts are usually intermittent with a good loud blast.

If a bass farts can you light it?

I HATE bass farts!
I thought my dog farts were bad, but my bass farts can really clear a room!






















(Sorry... I know this was completely un-productive, but the 3rd grader inside me forced me to write this)

I always go for my dirty tone. Dirtier than that as a matter of fact. But me precision doesn't gel well with my pedals, mostly because of the farting.

Like a few have said already you may need to lower the pickups a tad or raise the strings. Maybe a little of both.

It´s hard knowing from the distance.

But if you make sure that your input gain of the amp doesn´t cause an overdrive signal, your bass batterie is fresh and your signal of your bass preamp output are right, I´d bet that your pickups maybe they are closer of the string. If you lower them just a tad maybe you´ll solve this fart´s issue. Realize that your bass starts farting just when you play with stronger attack. It´s me.

I believe I've had this problem before, and the problem for me was both saddle screws weren't touching the bridge, so the saddle was rattling, but only on certain notes. Make sure both saddle screws are making contact with the bridge.

This is a definite possibility.

If it farts on an open string try playing that note and then putting a finger on the saddle to see if it is rattling about.

(I have an old P bass clone that needs the G saddle sorting out, I just haven't got my hex keys out yet.)

I bet I know less than those above. At first I thought strings (which sound v bright to me) together with string height but now I hear a speaker type sound. Can you get a mellow tone on this bass and amp (guessing not your thing) and start to try and figure what what makes farting begin as you move towards your preferred sound. For example play the same note on different string positions to see if there is any difference. Can you plug headphones into the amp to see how bass sounds on its own etc?
