siggi Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I am getting an intermittent clicking noise from my Little Mark II - At first I thought I was being clumsy and clouting the bass string against the pick up - But then I used it with several other bassists playing my amp _ the first a very junior player let me set up the amp and I am sure that the gain and master were only at a mid point so no chance of clipping. The second bassist had already set himself up and sounded fine initially but when he started to play harder - there was the clicking - When I checked he had wound the gain round to about 3 oclock - complaining that his Warwick was a really quiet bass - I reset the gain closer to the 12 oclock that I tend to use - and the clicking did not re- appear . Is this me doing something daft or is their a fault that I have yet to identify - I play an OLP - both 4 and 5 passive and I use an Ampeg Portabass cab 2 x 12 with one of the original speakers replaced with an Eminence Deltalite. Any input/ ideas appreciated . Oh yeah, the rig was DI'd into pub PA system on this occasion but I am pretty sure that the noise has occured when played stand alone ( or at least I think so ) Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Is it your watch being picked up as you change hand position? Pickups pick watch clicks up quite well, and mobiles before they ring. Quote
siggi Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Not a regular clicking like a watch - more of an intermittent out of time - like a lead disconnecting ...which then disappeared . I am going to try it out to destruction today to try and force it to do it .. Quote
