Bassist on the Run Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi guys some help please I have a markbass 250 I'm playing through a markbass410 With a Warwick FNA Even with my Gain very low it's clipping and the little light is coming on when I slap the e string. Any advice on why this might be will be appreciated Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Have you tried turning the volume on the bass down?? - I find that sometimes if the pre-amp is particularly "hot", as in my GB Rumour, I can end up overpowering the settings on the amp. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassist on the Run Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks dude I guess that is what I'll have to do 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have to turn down the volume on my Wal whenever I'm running into anything other than my amp. Zoom B1on clips at the input as did my old sansamp, which was very sensitive to a hot input signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassist on the Run Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks happy jack That's a great help. Problem solved I had some nail clippers in my amp and that was causing the problem. All solved now. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassist on the Run Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 All joking aside I've resolved the issue. I found two small adjustments on the pre amp I've lowered them and the clipping has stopped. I also lowered the pick up slightly. Problem solved 👍🏻👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
