My band's former drummer was the nicest guy in the world but notorious for letting the nastiest farts out on stage. It would literally clear the dance floor in front of the stage and leave us up there gasping for clean air.

...and I thought this thread was going to be about the drummer.

 

[brushfirewolf]

Had the same problem. Turns out I'm lactose intolerant.

 

[Liam Wald]

Great name for a band.

Maybe you think it's a good name. Personally, I think that it stinks.

 

[FugaziBomb]

Yeah, I kind of thought it might be a "who done it" kind of thread...

Or a really hilarious medical condition

 

[Biggbass]

Don't stand behind he guitar player.

The dog gets the blame for mysterious farting around the Thumpenstein castle.

Pea soup is awesome!
Pee soup, I would imagine, not so much. Depending on one's cup of tea, so to speak.

Actually it is quite good, only if its homemade... not the canned crap.

Some basses have a boost/cut fart knob. (of course passive instruments are cut only) Have you tried dialing back the fart knob? No need to have it dimed all the time. Maybe 70%.

Beware of open flames.

Cool! interesting to note that you didn't specify if you are referring to Pea or Pee.

Best title ever for a talkbass thread


Uranus released an enormous bubble into space

I had a similar problem of mysterious distortion on low notes at any volume. The pickup was too high on the bass side.

What’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

Anybody can roast beef.

I always do redundant tests. So I would try the same bass with another amp-cab.

Had that issue with my Fender elite bass. The E string would fart out but not all the other strings.. checked the preamp tube, speakers, then battery in the bass.. changed it ,, still did it... changed it again with a battery from the guitar player and it was fine. Who knew.

One of the bass players at church has a Fender Elite. He was having problems with the preamp. It would cause farting out when he turned the bass up. I found the preamp different than any preamp I’ve used. Turning the EQ knobs changed the overall level. Turn the bass or midrange up, it turned the volume up a lot.

I came to the conclusion that the preamp was farting when he turned the bass up. I found room to put in a second battery, increasing the power supply to 18v.

This cleared up the farting, and the controls “behaved” far better. He loved the difference.

Higher headroom took care of the farting. The bass control was more “controlled” and useful.

I had an old Euphonic Audio amp that farted every once in awhile. Hate that sound. Scared at sometimes.
