[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1502885590' post='3354160'] I don't use one but I've come from Berg cabs which have very tight low end. I tried a Thumpinator with the Bergs and it made no difference to the sound at all. With the Bergs there was no muddiness or boom, even on the worst stages. As you know I went from them to a BB2 and didn't like the amount of big low end. The SC's are much better but I'd like the option of reducing the low end even more. I'm thinking/hoping that raising the "floor" of the low end via an HPF would do this for me. On bad stages I always feel that trying to EQ out a bad low end also alters the rest of the sound too much, rather than just eliminating the problem. Maybe it's my lack of ability with EQ but using an HPF to tighten up just one part of the sound might be a solution. I know I could buy a separate HPF but so far I've only seen fixed ones. I'm wondering if an adjustable HPF would be a better option. I'd also be hoping that a Barefaced HPF would be better than the competition. I might also be barking up the wrong tree. Not for the first time!! [/quote] Just interests sake, what amp are you using with the SC's? I'm thinking about getting a pair of them.

Exposed bolts, foam interior not glued in properly, not to mention that I could flex it with one finger. Compared to a Hiscox it was a joke. Hopefully that means that I just got a lemon! Just wish Hiscox would make the standard case a couple of cm longer.

I'm generally louder with a pick, but I like a 3mm pick. To balance it, I palm mute a touch and just generally try to play with a lighter touch. If you're quieter with a pick, try using a heavier gauge and playing a bit harder. Otherwise, a bit of a boost on the EQ if using an active bass?

Why? All is well and good if you're posting clips you like, but ones you deem 'poor' is a bit crass. Imagine if that guy you rated as a 2 was a poster here.

PM'd ☺

Haven't thought about going back to Markbass for years... this does look good though.

If it is faulty, and German, I'd go to Eich. They were extremely friendly and helpful when I was I the same situation. They diagnosed it over a Skype call and then gave me info to relay to my tech. If it has to go back, Germany has to he cheaper than the states?
