@Audere made a noise-canceling system for use with single-coil pickups. I think (but am not sure) that it could be used with or without one of their preamp modules. Don't know if they still make it, but it looked interesting: Audere noise cancelling preamp-single coils without the hum

This is some great information. I have always been a K.I.S.S. kind of bassist and it was mostly due to the fact that I could not wrap my head around hz and eq issues. Now that I am older, I am trying to educate myself a bit more. This forum is great for that, along with sarcasm and well intended humor.

This must cease !
Still digging my Broughton always on HPF.
That is all.

Me too...that is all.
Me three! But that's not all!
I was practicing the other night. And I have so much amp gear that I'm trying different combinations of heads and cabs every time I practice. It's just fun and it teaches me how they all work with each other.
So the other night I played my Ashdown LB30 through my Ampeg 610. It got stupid loud. But I was struggling with this setup. It was muddy! Now, that Little Bastard is anything but muddy! And I have coaxed plenty of mids out of that 610 with other heads. But this was beating me up. I was about to swap heads when it dawned in me. I hadn't run through my little magic box.
Whipped out the always on. Noodled around while dialing up a degree or two every few seconds until..... bam! There it was. Clarity.
I still had all the heft I could stand. But it just cleaned up everything.
So simple. Yet so effective.
There's the proof!
Unless YOU have this tool in your gig bag you'll miss out on possibility of making your rig (or any rig) sound better.

Does anybody know of a relatively inexpensive variable LPF available in Europe?
I don't necessarily need the HPF function (built in my Genz Streamliner).
I thought about an used Ibanez LF-7, but then I'd be stuck with the 80 hz HPF (can't be set lower) and I read that it still gives a bit of overdrive even when keeping the drive knob at min.

All right, I'm in on the thread.
Just received a Broughton Always ON HPF and hooked through my board. Even at low volumes on two separate basses I noticed a difference in the clarity of notes with no mud that I didn't believe I was already generating. Next night at band practice, I absolutely spotted a difference of the clarity at higher volumes. In fact it was so clear, I was able to reduce the volume on my amp. I'm a full believer. Thanks to all of you for pointing the way...and dang me for not figuring out those knobs on my (already sold) Hartke 3500.

Right... what a difference it makes!
I use a Broughton HPF with phil jones 100 watt combo unit . I really get more headroom when I use it. Personally I set it to the room. Filter out all the boomy frequencies. Starting around 40 hz and adjust it from there.what hpf do you recommend for my rumble 100 combo, and how do I use it?
Honestly, I wish I have had one years ago.
I wont go without. Bought a second one to use when I dont need my board.
@Jim C:
IMO, the HPF should always be first in the chain.
No sense running any sub harmonic freqs to cause the compressor to hit early, mud up your effects, etc.
Some effects, like an envelope filter for instance, can generate pretty strong sub-harmonic content, so in that case it would make sense to put the HPF after anything like that in the chain.
Cheap Lug hack.
Got a couple of Harrison Labs FMOD Inline Crossover 30 Hz HPFs and plug them in the effects sent/return path. Seems to work fine.

They have a 12 dB roll off so I can use either one or two (in series) depending on the effect on the sound.

2 in series won't work as intended, the frequency and slope will not add as expected because the filter expects a low source impedance. Passive filters are tricky like this.
I've never heard anyone say a fart was good. I have a Broughton HPF incoming (for the LMIII). Mainly posted in the thread so I can come back and read it in its entirety as time permits.
