feedback

The band I’ve been playing in for years FINALLY just released our first EP. It was a quick, plug in & fire up the DAW/ live recording kinda thing. We recorded 5 songs, but 2 didn’t make the cut for various reasons. I had no part in the mixing/mastering, and I wouldn’t have been much help if I...

Laid down some bass for my band the other night, did it DIY with a humble setup at home. I wrote the song and arranged the whole thing, did the backup vocals too. But when it comes to actually doing the bassline, I feel like I might overdo it sometimes. Get carried away, you know? It's such a...

I have a Sarno BB and love it. It has largely solved feedback issues with my Full Circle. FC -> BB -> Platinum Pro However I cannot get a mid/upper mid tone that sounds good to my ear (I can get awfully close when using my EA iAmp and 2x10 but I play in a few settings where I have to use...

Hi All, the new version of the EPI Jack Casady bass has gone from solid maple to laminate maple apparently to reduce feedback. This seems to be a common construction method to avoid feedback from amplified jazz guitars. Could those of you who have a JC comment on the feedback "problem" and how...

I just got a new Sterling ray4 HH active bass and when i turn on my distortion pedal (Boss DS-1) i get a weird feedback sound even when im muting the strings. I didnt have this problem with my previous not active bass tho (Cort Action PJ). If i play loud at my bands rehearsal its worse, but also...

My band does one set per show with my upright Kay S-1. I've tried a variety of pickups, finally settling on a KNA DB1. My stage rig is a Carvin BX500 into BR210 and BR115 cabs. We play LOUD on stage and it's been all I can do to even hear myself. To complicate things, we are often on small...

I have for many years owned a Crown GLM-200 from new, to amplify a double bass. It has this really really annoying tendency to feedback at a horrible frequency of around 6.5kHz. I had put this down to the nature of the mic and dialed it right back and let a piezo do the heavy lifting, with the...

Hello, sometimes when I play a solo like anesthesia or something similiar, I find myself wanting some feedback during transitions, like for example in anesthesia, after you play the first section on the high part of the fretboard and then the second section on the low part of the fretboard, and...

Hey All, Had a gig last night at a big fair in NH…it’s the season!! Anyway, while performing, my Markbass CMD121 combo were making these major overtones/feeding back anytime I played a “C” especially on the A string 3rd fret. The combo was on a wood floor with a hollow section under it other...

Hey all. I picked up a bass a few years ago and would occasionally mess around, and really earlier this year really decided to pursue bass. I uploaded a short video of me playing and was wondering if you all have any feedback whatsoever. Thanks!

Our two man band uses the bass for both guitar and bass "sounds." I'm continuing to dial in a unique sound and figured some of you might have input on some basses to try.... I have a repainted Fender Squire Jazz (in video), a Fender Precision Deluxe Special and a Fender Mustang short scale...

Is anyone playing amped hybrid in a loud stage situation? With the carved top, does it seem considerably more difficult to control feedback on a hybrid than a ply?

How good is a dynamic super-cardioid vocal microphone versus a dynamic cardioid vocal mic at controlling feedback in a live setting? Are there specific advantages/disadvantages (other than having to be right on the mic for the super) of one over the other? I sing some backups and have a low...

In a small/lively practice room, is it advisable to roll back the input gain on the vocal mics a little bit (to make them less sensitive) and increase channel volume in order to minimize potential feedback? Or will increasing the channel volume to the desired level result in the same potential...

My band just released our second EP today. If anyone is looking for some new tunes to listen to, I would greatly appreciate if you gave it a spin, and of course feedback is always welcome too. Its a heartland/country rock type of thing, for those who like to know what you’re getting into first haha.

Just joined TalkBass, and have been really enjoying it. Maybe I've missed it in my searching, but a forum (or forums for DB and EB separately) where you would upload a video of yourself playing, and ask for feedback from other Users could potentially be quite useful. It could also be a way to...

Hey guys, I'm a fairly new bass player and this my first post here. I picked up a new bass over the weekend, a Yamaha TRBX604FM, and last night had a rehearsal with my band with the new bass. I absolutely love the tone that I'm getting from the bass but I ran into an issue that I could not...

I never interested to K4 (too midrangy) but, I started to interested in K1! Sounds very nice on that Sample comparison to other pickup, has clearer E-A strings sound, and lees distort... Lando Music Do you use it? Can you share your experience related to FC, BP-100 or Realist pickup?

I was a big fan, and spokesman of the Ehrlund PU.... When I first tired on my previous bass, a Hungarian contemporary instrument. I felt Ehrlund is a real game changer, a new chapter in the Double Bass amplification, I was completely amazed.... That bass has very tiny, nasal and weak sound...

For amplifying my bass I always use a mic. To minimize feedback risk during jazz gigs, I place my GK combo amp next to me, or even a little in front of me. That works great: the drummer and me can still hear the bass enough. Now I am considering a new setup, with the Acoustic Image Upshot (next...

Rig: Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 on top of an Acme B2, series 2. All this perched on a wooden barstool so it's close to my ears. Bass: Tobias Growler 4, 1st gen. Problem: If I stand to the side of my rig with my bass strapped as usual, I suddenly get high pitched whine/feedback, rather loud. Bass is...

I use Ehrlund contact PU mic. Sounds amazing in jazz combos, but in louder settings, I fighting with Feedback.... I Have the Headway EDB preamp with notch filter, but sometime i noticed one or two more feedbacking frequency.... I allways intrested in sabine solo products, both the XRL and Line...

I left feedback today for a pedal I bought on Reverb. I know this pedal is meant to come with a "manual" (ok, an instruction/spec sheet), warranty card and a power adapter. I don't care about the warranty card because it's been modded (by JHS), so that's void. The sheet is easy enough to print...

So I've been messing around a fair bit with magnets, pickup coils, and wacky wiring. I've come up with a crude reverb device that plays off of vibrations from the cab. This is very similar to the natural reverb you get when playing at very high volumes close to the speakers. The basis for...

Last week, I brought my backup head to a gig (Fender Rumble 500). I plugged it into the PA through the DI, and got some background hum through the PA. When I turned the amp on, the sound went away. Ideas? Thanks.

A complete run-through in one take. It's fairly representative of how well (or poorly) I play this piece. Sometimes I make fewer mistakes, sometimes more. If I do a couple of takes, the best one will be better than this, but that's just probabilities at work. So I posted the first complete take...

So I recently acquired a Troy Sanders Jag anytime i engage the noiseless jazz pickup i get some amount of feedback from the amp, it gets worse when i use any gain based effect such as OD, Distortion, Fuzz or even a boost or pre-amp pedal...it does this in active and passive modes... tried it...

We had bad feedback problems last night playing outdoors on an open-air patio. Feedback was primarily through the mains (stage monitors off). Nothing much in front of us for reflections. We did have a wooden wall behind us and a glass wall to the left of us (we were tucked in a building...

Hello, I recently bought an Epiphone EB3 and have been having some issues with feedback. Has anyone else experienced this with these guitars? It's mainly when I turn around and face my amp or if I hit an overdrive pedal. My signal chain is EB3 -> Tuner -> Boss LS2 with Tubescreamer and a Rat...

Hello Talk Bass, looking for some feedback/insight. My Original band is working on recording our EP, me and my brother write most of the songs our singer has written a couple and we have a home studio. I finished the ruff mixes, we are a 4 pieces rock and roll group, on some of the songs I...

How do you obtain a "controlled" amp feedback which you can use in a musical way? Some examples: (minute 10:00) (from minute 1:12) I already have a Fuzzrocious Cat King with momentary feedback but I'm very unsatisfied of it (for multiple reasons), and it was the less "terrible sounding"...

Has anyone tried one of these out? I wanna know feedback before I get one. Any other preamp suggestions too?
