EXH Bass Big Muff Pi Feedback

I just got my hands into a bass big muff pi a couple of weeks ago... I haven't been to play it because in rehearsals, it inputs lots of feedback. I play either a J Fender (active) or a Modulus (active). In my pedalboard I have it in this following sequence:
Darkglass B7K Preamp
Bass Big Muff Pi
MXR Bass Compressor
Reverb or Delay

All my pedals are powered with one Micro Distro power supply.

I would appreciate if you could share your knowledge to try and fix the feedback. I don't want to sell it... jeje
 
Hmm, I would put the BBM in front of the B7k, turn down the treble on both of those pedals, and maybe back down the gain on the B7k if you're using the BBM for dirt. Reverb can exacerbate feedback so if that's an always-on effect you may want to turn it off. Also maybe back down the treble on your amp and bass. How close are you to your amp when practicing? Standing too close can cause feedback problems too.
