kedo Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) I have been suffering with feedback on my DB. It tends to occur on the G string about Bb when the note 'swells'. It is impossible to set the volume to a good level for a big gig. Careful placement of my Markbass P121 combo and 1x12 New York extension speaker (away from a wall and definitely not in a corner) can help, as can the proximity of bass to amp, but there is nothing I can set on the amp EQ which completely eliminates this nuisance. The Bb also 'swells' when I play it on the D string. This is not a problem when I play the bass acoustically, but my Stentor Elysia is a fairly quiet instrument. Previous Basschat postings on this subject have resulted in an overwhelming recommendation that a 'Fishman Platinum Pro' bass preamp is the answer. Has anyone got any further advice. I have a SH950 Shadow pickup (the double one) and don't use a preamp at present. Edited April 12, 2014 by kedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
