adriansmith247 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I have a 82 jazz with emg pickups. Not used that often but at a gig last night I was getting very hf feedback and could hear the audience from my amp. Sounded like they may have gone micrphonic. The only thing I have recently is put in a new Duracell battery. The old battery had leaked. Any ideas what I could do to test or fix? Also any recommendations for nice passive jazz pickups? I may have to get replacements Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Try them now.. I bet they're mysteriously fixed! Those symptoms sound very much like there was an induction loop still turned on, for hearing aid amplification. Now you've heard it, you know next time so you find someone who can turn the thing off! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriansmith247 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Aha yes that could be it. Thanks I'll ask the venue later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriansmith247 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Venue has recently installed a loop and the bass is back to being fine with no feedback Good call Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Excellent! First time it happened to me I was soooo panicked about my prized Overwater! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriansmith247 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Is there any way a bass can be shielded from this? Does it happen to all guitars or just those with active pickups ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
