Hi I all – I’m a bit puzzled and looking for advice….
My question is …. can a singer’s mic going through the pa, feedback through my bass?
I play in a big band (double bass through lifeline pickup into fishman platinum pro and my own amp). I’ve noticed on a couple of occasions that whilst we can be loud, feedback is under control when playing with the band – but when the singer joins in – it all gets a bit frisky…I’m sort of on the edge of feedback – slow and gradual build up not Hendrix screeching.
Last time I noticed that it happened even when muting the bass strings with my hand….and only stopped when I muted the preamp.
So it is possible the body of my bass is picking up the vocals and feeding back through the vocal mic/pa ?
I've got a notch filter on the preamp but not had tome to fiddle with it to see if that cures the problem.
All advice gratefully received.
