    This sounds like a classic case of "not figuring out the Hartke LH500/1000 eq section" syndrome. Turn the mid right up full, stick the bass and treble between 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock to taste and see what happens. If youre running the mid much below that you are introducing a mid scoop which will result in perceived volume loss. Just search this forum for LH500 and you'll see its a common thing - its just a slightly different sort of eq that isnt immediately obvious. I had a similar response when i tried my first one in a shop. Now i own one and its a fantastic and loud amp.

    Loving my Fender Blacktop Jazz. Lovely easy neck and a massive sound with a bit of Stingrayish cut when you fade to the rear P pickup. Bit unusual too which is nice. Heres a soundclip of one below https://www.box.com/s/0giiip2y1612vfjh9dix

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1376471556' post='2174259'] I tend to run all basses through their more "appropriate" input channel - actives through the active channel, passives through the passive... and I've never had a problem, even with my 18V Status with full bass and treble boost. But my newest bass (to me, anyway!), the Spector, seems to cause distortion on the active channel There are a few things that could be causing this I guess, and the easiest fix is the one that I am about to go and do - put a new Duracell into the active preamp! But if that doesn't sort it, could it be that the output of this bass is just too hot for the preamp valve in my LH500? If so, would there be any value in changing it for a valve with more headroom (like the 5751 mentioned above)? Are Spectors known for having a particularly high output? I'm rehearsing tonight so will get a chance to see if the new battery solves the problem. I hope it does! [/quote] I have an LH500 and a Spector Euro with the adjustable tonepump - I had to use the active input (all my other basses are fine with the passive input even though they have hot outputs) as the Spector was distorting the input quite severely. I changed to an EMG BQS preamp (which has noticeably less output) and now use the passive input on the amp quite happily. Its the mental output of the Tonepump that's causing your issue. You can adjust it down but it seems to take the grit out when you do so.

    I recently tried a bunch of phones out and came out with some Sony MDR-V55 ones. They used to be £90 but various places have been jobbing them out at £40/50 (Currys and Amazon for example) They can take anything i throw at them without getting farty or rattly and i've been very pleased with them. Tried Sennheisers, JVC and a few DJ'y type ones but these were the best by a country mile and seemed much more like £100 phones. Shortish lead though so i use an extender to stand up and play. Bargain. Heres a link http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-V55-DJ-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B007I1QY5Y

    Heres a link http://www.spectorguitars.com/models/brooklyn.html Its at the bottom and they only made 107 by the look of things. One for a SpectorCollector i reckon. Theres a big Spector community on Talkbass over the pond. Do a search on there for info.

    Had a PA cab go over and a flying punter tipped a whole pint into the guitaists Engl pedalboard a couple of weeks ago. Riot of a pub gig with people flying everywhere and we were floor level. Luckily had 2 mates to stand in front of us to fend them off a bit but it was an interesting evening. Bought a hard case for the spare bass last week though just in case. Wasnt a shithole - just a fun crowd enjoying themselves. Got a real buzz from it (luckily the guitarist didnt :-))

    Gallien Krueger MB Fusion or Hartke LH500 heads Barefaced Big One cab Occasionally add a second cab (GK 212MBE until my second Barefaced turns up) but very rarely need to as its plenty loud enuff. Playing pubs and medium sized clubs mainly in a noisy rock covers band with 2 geetards.
