[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1376078841' post='2169599'] I wasn't sure if it was a wind up at first but I'd heard wedging a tennis ball down between the body and the bridge makes a difference... so I did it and I never get feedback issues [/quote] this too

give it a try on the bassbar side

try the old beach ball trick

one of the old Mxr ones , unbeatable.

strolling into a record shop in Manchester I frequented where they blasted out music all day long, as soon as the guy working behind the counter saw me he pulls out a cd and say " yes! Im so glad you came in , listen to this... "it was a session Id just done .... nice feeling.

usual story, drummers a bit of a tosser but has somewhere to rehearse and leave the gear , so Im in ...

received my Fdeck preamp from Caeman over on Talkbass today, heres a little review. First off I like the size o f this, much smaller and lighter than the Pro Plat from Fishman, housed in a diecast aluminium case with volume and high pass filter at one end, with phase switch squeezed in between. .Input and output jacks at the opposite end(plastic mounted , not metal). Good so far.. Using a standard Boss adaptor instead of battery for power the HPF is easy to set up. Leaving the high pass fully CW (MAXIMUM PASS) the phase switch effectively handles feedback as you would expect, Volume on max shows the unit to have much less output than the Fishman, To get comparable vol from the Fishman it had to be set with all graphic sliders flat, gain on max and volume at about 9.30, this may be a good thing as it probably has more comparable level to a passive bass guitar direct to amp. I never realised how much gain boost the Fishman is capable of. The HPF is totally silent in use and the highpass filter seems to work equally well as the Fishman, if not better. I like the fact that theres no graphic to mess with on this, more controls = more fiddling about, thats the reason I got one. The sound is slightly more "open" but I cant say that it shows the Fishman as colouring the sound, as it gets accused of over on Talkbass. Will I miss the extra gain of the Pro Plat on a gig? Have to wait and see, as this was done at home but I know my amp has enough power to cope. i found the filter to work best at around the mid point of its sweep of 35-140hz. Pick up on my bass is a Rev Solo into a Mesa Walkabout . No gigs for a while but will update when played in anger at next rehearsal. BTW it took about 4 weeks to arrive from the day Caeman ordered it ($123 covered the HPF + POSTAGE)

i think my performance may have been compromised by excessive hayfever medication swilled down with excessive alcohol🍹🍷🍸🍷🍺

wimmin

having it super tight may be the problem.
