Skezza Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I am using a couple of 1990s Bass collection active 4 string bases for gigging. A gt6B for compression and effects with the preamp turned off a peavey Tmax 500 watt head and two of the new lightweight Trace elliot 1 x15s. Usually unless its a very big venue I do not go through the PA. I use the guitar with eithet the P bass pickup or a mix of the p and j pickups. My problem is that I find the bass E string gets very boomy and feedsback and to control it I have to back off the active bass control on the guitar thus making the bass sound a liitle thin. I have tried reducing the input gain and it had no effect. I have used the in built EQ and dialed up the miserable face ): like I used to do on my Trace head but I still have the boomy string problem. Any suggestions Please can you PM me as I am out setting up a PA for a festival and Pms come to my phone I have a gig Monday so I would like to try some ideas out before then skez Edited August 8, 2011 by Skezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 May be worth tryng a high pass filter to cut out subsonic frequencies such as this one from SFX [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_thumpinator"]http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?pag...cro_thumpinator[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
