    Ibanez GSR205 TOO LOW output problem

    Hi! I have a 2009 Ibanez GSR205 (the ones with jazz style pickups) with a very low output. So low that if I crank the master in my Rumble 200 all the way up it's still at decent bedroom volume! Also, my Valeton GP200 which has a graphic volume bar barely recognizes the signal, compared to any...

    Question About Low Volume/Home Setup

    Hey! Looking for a good sounding rig for home use. My question has to do with how to maximize good sound at low levels. Is it best to go with a low powered head (500 watts) with a single speaker (112), or is it best to get a high powered head (800 watts) with multiple speakers (410)...

    Fender Professional II Precision Bass thin tone and low output

    Hopefully somebody can relate to this. I bought a Fender Pro 2 P Bass brand new a couple years ago. From when I first plugged it in, the tone was super bright with volume and tone pots all the way up. When I turned the tone pot down to take off the brightness, it sounded as if the bass also...

    Thumb BO Weird Passive/Active Problem

    Hello all, I have had an odd issue with my 5 string Warwick Thumb BO for years now and I'm finally getting around to fixing it. In my troubleshooting I came across some more details that I can't make sense of. The bass works perfectly fine while in Passive (Volume pot pulled out) Tone knob...

    Best bass amplifier for the bedroom playing and recording?

    Hi! I'm new to bass and I'm looking for an amplifier both to practice in my room and to record (in my room too). I'm not looking for anything gig-worthy, but rather an amp that will be useful for recording my tracks, and which will sound nicely at relatively low volumes (knowing well that bass...

    Marbass Little Mark II Low Volume Issue

    I've had a LMII for closer to ten years with mostly no issues, and gigged it probably a hundred times. Now it has a problem: The volume is diminished to a very low level. The sound quality in itself seems to be okay, it's just that the volume is very low. At 4 ohms and decent cabs, I usually...

    Plugging port at low volume? (Eich BC112/TecAmp Puma)

    Hi! I recently got me an Eich BC112Pro (very small 1x12“ 500W Combo, successor of the TecAmp Puma) and I really like the sound at higher volume, it’s surprisingly loud and handles the low B really well, BUT: At low volumes it has a nasty low mid bump and sounds very boomy. I’m quite sure this...

    Super low volume on Passive

    Just asking for ideas here, I'm kind of stuck on the troubleshooting process. I installed new Nordstrand Pickups and preamp on my Zon Legacy Standard, this is not the first time I install Nordstrand preamp, I have done around 10 already, and all my basses used this same preamp. The odd issue...
