Members bassguy Posted October 22, 2005 Members Posted October 22, 2005 ok, so im trying to trouble shoot whether or not the preamp is cutting in and out atm, can someone give me some info on what could be distorting in my bass other than the battery?
Members Rippin' Robin Posted October 22, 2005 Members Posted October 22, 2005 It might be as simple as a rattling bridge saddle. That sounds like something's distorting.

What's the bass and preamp? If it's an active bass into a passive circuit, you could be overdriving the input. As much info as possible would be helpful.
Members bassguy Posted October 22, 2005 Author Members Posted October 22, 2005 its a yammaha bb605, im thinking its passive pups into active preamp?... the whole bass is stock, i am really fustrated about this cause the bass isnt even 5 months old, and isnt paid off yet...

Well, if it's only 5 months old I'd say it's a warranty issue!

Again, what is the preamp, and how do you have it set?
Members bassguy Posted October 23, 2005 Author Members Posted October 23, 2005 ok so on my home rig, its different, but on the other rigs, yes theres huge over driven distortion, and when im not playing ther is a weird almost like a humming noise... its a stock preamp, so im assuming its a yamaha pre? its set at 5 on everything, passive mode usually, and volume almost full
