    Bass Output Clipping?

    When I play my Ibanez SR505 through a clean amp sim and into my DAW it sounds as if the signal is clipping/phasing and I cannot work out why. I have recorded it on multiple setups and through a DI and have found that the signal leaving the bass is "clipping", nothing to do with my recording...

    NAD Eden TN226: What is the 8ohm power output?

    Hi TB'ers. Not long ago I bought an Eden TN226 bass amp in brand new condition. The amp is very high quality. I've been trying to sell the amp at half the selling price but no one wants it. So, I might keep the amp and buy an Eden Terra Nova TN110 cab. The amp says 225 watts at 4 ohms. Why...

    How do I connect a simple DIY passive HPF to an input and an output jack plug?

    So I made a post in this thread Dropping the bass - love at 50Hz yesterday, and haven't got any answer yet, and probably won't since the thread and post will most likely, and in fact already have, be buried by other threads and posts, so turning to this this sub forum instead for my answer...

    Help ! : ) Which resistor to pad down out of control uke bass output?

    I've got a Rondo Hadean UKB-20, solid body active preamped piezo bass electronics, that clips like Jack Bruce at the lowest possible level and Lemmy at 5% higher. The level is far too hot at any level but the clipping is happening before it leaves the bass, not overloading the output. Rondo has...

    Super low output after EMG GZR solderless install

    I just installed this set into a new P bass body (unshielded) and it's producing a ton of buzz when not touching any metal, but the biggest problem of all is the output. It's total crap. The volume pot seemingly does nothing until 80-90%. At 100% the output is about half that (comparing by ear)...

    which output is suitable for tuner? (Trace Elliot GP11)

    Hi, I have a Trace Elliot GP11 mkV C 500 combo; the GP11 preamp has a couple of outputs but none is marked as 'tuner out' as the preamp was made somewhere in the 80s. (I guess it wasn't common back then). Is it safe to connect one of the available outputs to a rack mount tuner? If so, which one...
