    Soundcard (interface) as a headphone amp?

    Hey all! Im going to be practicing in some smaller quieter rooms and places in the next few days and was wondering if I could just use my backup little PreSonus Interface as a headphone amp? It would not be powered by a computer though. It would be powering it through a little Halo Bolt battery...

    NHAD -VOX Bass Headphones

    I had bought the VOX AmPlug Bass amp a couple years ago, and I returned it the next day it was so bad (in my opinion). When I saw they were releasing a set of headphones that you plug directly into your bass and play with, I was super interested. Especially considering I wanted the Waza-Air...

    Quality Quiet Sound, Loud Already Covered

    I have been looking through forums for "best bedroom amps," but it seems like everyone is still talking about how much volume they can get from a little amp. I have a Rumble 200 with a 210 cab, so high volume is covered. I'm trying to find something that sounds great dialed below 1. I was...

    Peavey Combo 300 TOO QUIET?!

    So I bought a Peavey Combo 300 and when I tried it out I was happy with it, albeit it was quite but the guy dropped it off early hours and I didn't want to disturb the household. Just turned the pre/post gain up and it's making no change in volume... Am I missing something or do I get in touch...

    How Quiet Are EMG Precision Pickups?

    As above, How quiet (Read: Low noise) are EMG Precision pickups. I've had issues with noise in my Precision with both the original pickup and the Delano that replaced it. Because I only play on recordings and not live I tend to notice the sound a lot more. The bass is grounded, well wired with...

    Double Bass K&K Bass Max - quiet higher register

    I have K&K Bass Max pickup on my bass. I know. "Bass Max". I noticed, that higher registers (above C on G string) are much quieter than lower registers on pickup signal, but acoustically they are on the similar level. Any tips how to give a "punch" to upper registers? I usually play in lower...

    How to fix an overly quiet A string when pole piece adjustment is not an option?

    Hey all, I have a 4-string luthier-made bass that is basically a J copy with a few aesthetic differences. I currently have Bartolini pickups in it, which are sealed in epoxy and thus I cannot adjust the pole pieces. The A string is much too quiet compared to the other strings, and I'm not sure...

    5 string with a quiet, punch-lacking E string?

    I was playing my new-to-me 2009 5 string Corvette yesterday and found the E string lacked punch and volume. Decided to try a string change and in the process I found the tuner tube on that string was quite loose. It will not thread onto the shaft tightly. It acts like it will tighten, but...

Anyone ever seen this problem and know what it could be? Ive changed the...

    SD Quarter Pounders. Are they quiet?

    Looking to replace the stock pickups in my Fender Mustang PJ. By all accounts, it seems like the SD QP's might fit the bill for my brand of rock. I'd like something quieter (less hum/noise) than the stock pickups. Should I expect these will be quieter in that regard?

    SWR LA-10 NO NOISE AFTER 10 YEARS

    My amp is quiet on A's

    I know this should be stuck in the portaflex thread being that it concerns a 70s B15n, but here we is. I had assumed that, back when I had but one bass, a J, because I was jamming in similar sized rooms, it was the room's fault that I'd have to be very light when touching E's, and moderately...

    American Standard Jazz - Quiet Pickups?

    Recently grabbed a 2012 US Standard Jazz. It's got the year upgrade of the Custom Shop pickups. Superb bass, except the volume level of the pups is a little low - this is in comparison with my '74 Ricky, and more importantly, my newer Fender Flea bass. I've raised the pups, adjusted everything...

    Quiet cooling fan suggestions?

    Any suggestions for a quieter cooling fan? 24VDC, 60mA, 40mm x 40mm, 2-wire, no speed control. Current (noisy) fan is 10mm depth, not sure if a 20mm depth fan will be quieter? Or maybe just a lower power one?
