My Bass Is Picking Up Glenn Beck...

I didn't want it to be like this. I just wanted my bass to quit being a radio.
You'd have been fine if you just didnt mention the specific content your rig was picking up.
You COULD've just said you heard "The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia" and a whole lotta *stuff* could've been avoided!!!
I dance, I dance, I dance... Around the Mexican hat...
That's probably completely not related to anything anyone was about to say, but hey, what the hell.

Canary wire, huh? Is it yellow? Feather coated? And how do they extract the wire from the canary?
Jis' messin' wit ya

It could be worse. It could pick up a continuous loop of "You Lght Up My Lfe", and you would be compelled to commit suicide.
I'm still fine. That was just what was on when this happened. Not my fault this has become a political thread. I could care less about everyone's political opinions. I'm not a political person and I sure don't like shoving my worthless opinions down people's throats. That's just not nice.
I just want it to stop coming through my amp. It hasn't happened since so maybe I'll be cool for a little while. In the meantime I'll hit up Butch at Bayou Cables and get a couple.
You're right about that. Or maybe "I want to know wat love is" by Foreigner. I'd go insane!
If its your Valente, I would check for shielding in the control cavity. Those EMGs coupled with that preamp are going to boost any little bit of RF they can grab.

+1 there...I agree that I'm not overly political myself. Unfortunately, not everyone can control themselves.
The one thing I've gotten out of this thread, if I EVER experience this electronic phenomenon, I wont say ANYTHING about picking up any political commentators. I'll just say I was hearing some "real men of genius" Budweiser ads or something similarly innocuous.
Happened to Tom Morello after Sleep Now in the Fire, just a Korean station.
BTW, your Richard Simmons avatar scares the hell out of me

Panda! There you are, dude, you missed some epic trolling last night at like 3 in the morning.
And for relevancy, Richard Simmons rawks.

Please tell me that you phrased it this way only for the layperson to understand.
I can pick up CB's in our practice space. Nothing like playing and hearing a loud "Thats a big 10-4 good buddy". Too bad we cant time this for a particular part of a song!
I had an Alembic Epic 5-string that picked up a country music station. Probably one of the few times "Alembic" and "country music" have been associated with each other. It stopped after a few days.
If I had a bass that was picking up right-wing talk radio, I'd burn it.

oh man!!! That's extreme listening pain!! Try turning some knobs and picking up Keith Olbermann

Yup. there was. "I'm on a Mexicannnn radiooooo... I'm on a Mexican, whooooaaa, radiooooo..." Wall of Voodoo, I think.
Alembics probably have some sort of filter (ya think?) that weeds out intolerable signals like country music...
I keed, I keed. I'm as big an Eagles fan as you'll find in my extended family.
Or send it to Stromfront (pun intended)
