Very high pitched feedback! Urgent help needed.


Recommended Posts

So new bass build with some old parts into a new body. Old electrics were fine, a nice single volume to Jack job from kIogon, and using a brand new pickup.

I was getting the loudest highest pitched feedback I've ever had!
Things I've done that has helped;
Checked all the copper shielding.
Removed springs from pickup height screws.
Lowered pickups.
Turned treble down.

Now I use a boat load of drive which I know will make it worse but not sure what else I can do.
It didn't do this before hand and it's definitely the bass that's causing it.

Could it be a microphonic pickup?

That would be by guess, magnet or coil vibration probably (assuming the pickup itself is solidly mounted).

I'm guessing the pickup isnt a wax potted one.
