    Pronounced overtone issue

    Hey everybody. I’ve had a problem with two basses of mine for a while now and I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on from my fiddling around and research. The problem is this: Both 4-string instruments have a very pronounced 5th overtone all along the low E string. Especially louder...

    Ampeg SVT-CL Troubleshooting resonance crackling issue

    Hello bass amp heads, I bought my SVT in basically new condition from a friend who barely used it, and now after about a year I've started to encounter some issues that I'm hoping to fix myself. I first started noticing a problem about a month or two ago, where occasionally playing a C on the...

    Loud/booming spot on a neck? A string, ~12th fret.

    Everyone's heard of dead spots, but what about loud spots? This is driving me crazy and my searches turn up nil. My A string gets VERY loud and boomy around the 12th fret. Above the 9th fret, the volume starts increasing and peaks at the 13th fret and then starts going back down to normal. The...

    Odd resonance on my Aerodyne bass -- anyone seen this?

    I recently bought a Fender Aerodyne, and I replaced the original Fender strings with a set of GHS Pressure Wounds to reduce the string noise. The issue I'm having is that I notice an odd resonance when I play up the neck, especially on the E and A strings. It sounds like an additional tone...

    Why isn't poplar more popUlar?...

    This question is directed at people who believe (like myself) that body wood affects tone. Not trying to feed into that ongoing debate over whether body wood matters or not here. The only bass I've ever owned that is made of poplar just happens to be the most resonant and has great tone...

    Bridge Pickup Sympathetic Resonance

    Hi all, When I play between F#-G# at any octave my bridge pickup vibrates and buzzes in it's cavity. If I touch the pickup it stops buzzing. The plan is to put new springs on the offending pickup next time I restring the bass. I'm wondering if anyone has had success with new springs fixing this...

    Deep Hollow Kettle Drum Type Sound From a Double Bass

    I'm not new to bass playing. I learned on a Kalamazoo and a Danelectro in the 60s, but I've played upright for only a couple of years and I'm not a sophisticated sound engineer although I can run a decent board. In rock or rockabilly recordings, or even live sound of an upright bass in any...

    5-String: Damping the B string

    Hey there, Relative newbie here, working my 5-string, and often the B-string resonates quite strongly. Sometimes I feel like I have to hook my fret thumb over the neck to damp it, but it's a technique I dislike. I'd love to hear some techniques others use to control excess resonance on the...

    ABG Has a Resonance Issue, I Think

    One of my go-to instruments is a Michael Kelly Club Deluxe ABG 5-er with a high C string. On the C string and the G string, when I play a high G (and the upper range is one reason I use this instrument so much), it now has the most g&^awful twang. At first I thought it was the neck, but when the...

    Fender and Resonance

    I'm like alot of Fender Jazz folks who have a dead note, and this is due to the natural resonance of the neck. Does anyone know of a place that I can get a custom 22 fret neck for a couple of fender jazz bass's made? The worst one is my Jazz Bass Plus. The B and C notes, 4th and 5th fret on G...

    ABG Resonance Issue

    Every time I play a high g on my Michael Kelly lately, it causes the top to resonate in a very ...un-musical way. It sounds awful, and it's clearly the result of the top. I replaced the origina PUP with a K&K, and I have a soundhole cover in place. I tried putting foam under the strings behind...

    How to stop string resonance when muted

    Whenever I mute notes on my bass my strings still resonate, its like doing harmonics except you don't mean to, most strings do a short ring whilst others long and there is probably about 14 frets that just carry on playing the note altogether. I'm not sure what the issue is? it occurs when...

    Double Bass Yamaha SLB100 and afterlenght resonance

    I recently changed strings on my Yamaha SLB100, from Spirocores to D'Addario hybrids. Because EUB does not have soundpost I took off all strings before putting new ones. Maye that was a mistake - I had to reput tailpiece and bridge. After the change of strings, I can hear afterleght (part of...

    ID decals in neck pocket - resonance

    Picked up a honeybursted G&L MJ-4. Very nice bass. Good tone but seemed kind of subdued. I've owned the following Jazz basses: a 2013 Fender Select, 2013 USA Deluxe, and a 2014 66 CS as well as a nice USA std with a warmoth neck. Was down to a P bass and missed the Jazz fun. Was hoping the...

    resonant frequency in a boomy hall

    We played a friend's wedding at a community center last night and it was a typical hall: long with hard floor and ceiling and very boomy. I run a TC electronic RH450 with an Eden 212XLT. I run a post EQ line into the board. This allows me to make adjustments to suit the room. We mix our own...

    Fixing resonance dead spots on an ABG.

    Hello! My avatar shows me with my Tanglewood TW55 FR. It's a bass that has pronounced resonance dead spots on all E, F, F# positions, except on the low E string, low positions. It's quite a long story how I came to buy it (new) and keep the bass in this condition ... but I did! As a result...

    Double Bass Best string tension for resonant bass?

    Can any generalizations be made regarding how string tension (light-medium-heavy) affect a bass's resonance characteristics? My big Romanian flatback, is 42" string length, and is a challenge to record pizzicato (jazz) since it seems very unfocused and overly resonant/wolfy. Currently, I have...

    Double Bass Help with unwanted reverb from the bass

    I'm getting some unwanted reverb from my bass. The resonant frequency seems to be around Bb, and there's also a lingering E overtone when I play an A. Here's a clip (and I did mute all of the strings after playing each note): I still love the sound of my bass, but I haven't heard a lot of this...

    String resonance

    I currently own a Yamaha RBX170 bass, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a P bass. I've tried out several Fender ones - standard, american standard, and american deluxe (in passive mode). Controlling for the amp, I'm noticing a lot more "resonance", where if I strum one string it causes the other...
