originalfunkbrother Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Hi guys I have an acoustic bass that I want to use more in a live setting but the last time I did, I had massive problems caused by the feedback from the sound hole. I have seen these sound hole covers but I am not 100% certain if they do cut out the feedback. Does anyone have any experience using the hole covers either on acoustic bass or even guitar? Thanks!

Len_derby Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I tried a CD kept in place with a bit of masking tape. Partially successful and worth a try at zero cost. Hey! 900th post, and sensible one too. Edited March 14, 2014 by Len_derby Quote
ratman Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I've got an accoustic 4 stringer, an old Ozark. The pick up feeds back a lot. So, I bought a feedback buster and it did the job. But as my sound hole is oval I had to cut it to shape. There's no worse feeling than buying something new and the first thing you do is go at it with a Stanley knife. Thankfully it worked out fine. Feedback problems sorted. Quote

UglyDog Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I very much like the intricate wooden 'lute hole' busters. I've never gigged my ABG but if I did i'd probably invest in one. Quote
Chrismanbass Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Have one in my work back for when i have to engineer a guitarist who doesn't have one they're a god send and the same principal for guitar applies for bass so it'll certainly help. To be honest at about £5 each theres no excuse not to have one really Quote
