    Unwanted compression

    I'm in the middle of a gig and it sounds like i'm hitting a compressor hard. My soft plucks are nigh inaudible, and my hard plucks just bottom out. I don't know if it's the speaker or the amp. My Orange Terror Bass i've had for 6 years, and i've never replaced the preamp tubes. Could that do it...

    Double Bass DB Not Loud Enough Even With HPF Pre

    Hi folks, I'm sort of posting on behalf of my wife. She has a Shen upright bass and we installed a Realist pickup on it. Her teacher is a pro and confirmed that the pickup is installed correctly, but when we plug it into our TC Electronic combo amp (BG250 with 2-8s) we just can't get enough...

    Being too loud in your ears?

    I'm new to IEM and playing live. Last night during rehearsals, I was way too loud in my own ears and my performance suffered big time. I kept screwing up cause I was distracted trying to hone in on the click/track (which was barely there). I kept asking the sound man to turn everyone else and...

    Loud low E on a SBMM SUB Ray4

    Howdy folks, I managed to pick up (hah) a new SBMM SUB Ray4 at a great price. I really like the bass, but I'm having issues with the low E, and only the low E. Either all the other strings should be louder or only the E should be quieter. I keep the EQ flat and I've lowered the pick-up to...

    Markbass Combos..not as loud now?

    Ok so hear me out. I've owned 2 MB combos, a 2013 Jeff Berlin , and my current 2007 CMD102p. I go to Guitar Center periodically to annoy the heck out of the whole place by playing every head and cab I can in the short time I'm there. Oh and yeah I try them all at gigging volume of course, but...

    I guess we ARE kinda loud... (Markbass content)

    I play in a Clapton tribute. I didn't think we were really all that loud, at least not by LOUD band standards. We're a bunch of geezers after all. But I've now done two gigs with my new Jeff Berlin CMD 151P...first one outside, with PA support, but where I knew I'd need to add an external 1x15...

    Active not as loud as passive?

    I transplanted a Glock pre from my fretless to my fretted and the volume in active mode is not as loud as passive mode. Is that normal? I didn't notice that in the fretless but I was using EMG's instead of the Barts I'm using now. Also I noticed a bit of buzz when I touched the knobs and I...

    how loud is too loud?

    like many i started with a garage band playing heavy rock but grew to love playing jazz. got used to playing with acoustic piano in a quartet so we had to make sure we didn't drown out our keyboardist. that was twenty years ago and now i'm starting again with a pop-rock group and the guitarist...

    From loud amps to headphone rehearsals? Help needed !

    Thanks to all in advance. I am currently in a band that rehearses at volume. Not stupid loud “Deep Purple” volume, but loud enough. We also have the ability to record 16 tracks live and frequently use 15 of them. We accomplish this with a Focusrite Octo Pre and a Focusrite 18i8 into a Windows...

    Loud hiss when soloing bridge or neck p/u, disappears when blended 50/50

    Hey all - I have a bass with Delano single coils and an Audere preamp, and I'm getting a lot of hiss when I favor either neck or the bridge pickup. When the pickups are blended 50/50, there is no hiss at all. Any ideas? The bass is fully shielded, could it be a bad solder joint somewhere or a...

    Double Bass Reducing feedback at loud gigs

    Lately I have been playing upright bass with a few different bands (jazz, rock and singer songwriters). Some of the gigs that I have played are at loud bars where we have to supply our own PA system. I have run into issues with feedback where I am unable to get the volume and clarity that I...

    Replacing Skychord Truck Loud

    I've decided that I'm not digging the drive character of my Truck Loud much anymore. I like how open it is, but the breakup doesn't sound quite right for using it as a low-med gain OD. What should I swap it for? I've been looking at the JohnK Gamma, ss/bs Mini, Vick Audio Tree of Life...

    Unique Situation: Being Loud Enough By Myself Live

    My situation is, perhaps, a bit unique, and I'd like to lean on the collected wisdom of the forum. Up until now, I've only ever played with loud-ish punk-ish bands. Over the past couple years, I've been developing something on my own, a completely solo project that has roots in my loud-ish...

    Cracking Sound From Tweeter When Really Loud

    I have an Ampeg SVT 7 PRO and I run it through an Ampeg SVT 610 HLF. I've gigged with it in clubs, and it sounds wonderful! The other day, I turned it up really loud, just for a second and hit a note. I heard a cracking sound that seemed to come from the Tweeter (Woofers fart). I've since been...

    Are 10'' monitors loud enough

    I'm putting together a PA system for my band. I already have the mains, now I need monitors (the band is not ready to go to IEMs yet). My question is, I would like to get 10" monitors to keep price down and an easier load in and out. However, it seems like most monitors are 12". Our stage...

    How loud is the cooling fan in an SVT-VR supposed to be?

    When I compare it to SVT-CLs, it's markedly louder, with more 'contact' sound. Granted it is only a month old, so maybe that would plat a factor?

    Bass amp not as loud as I would think

    First time posting. I have two heads and was wondering if there would be any reason the one that should be louder is not even close to being as loud using the same cab My first head is an Ashdown mag 300 which I believe is rated at roughly 150-180 watts rms through 8-ohms. The second is a GK...

    Is it loud enough?

    new user here, but I just wanted to know what you guys thought of the Ashdown Rootmaster 220 combo in terms of volume. It really would be preferable if it could keep up in small indoor gigs and for rehearsals but it seems really cheap for its features and power rating (which obviously isn't...

    Loud pop when (dis)engaging tuner while playing my Zon

    This only happens when my Zon Sonus is plugged in, with other basses the problem does not occur. When kicking in my Korg Pitchblack tuner or any EHX pedal there's a loud pop, the volume from my Zon is completely gone and then slowly returns. Obviously there's something wrong with the Zon as my...

    Powerful and Loud Heads for a Grand or Less

Unfortunately most 300 watt tube heads are out of my price range so I was wondering if there were any other good secret...
