funky8884 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi, what is the best way to identify where Hiss is coming from in a Jeff Berlin rithimic 5 bass ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Does the hiss only occur when you solo one of the pickups or is it always present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't like their makeup or Gene's massive tongue but they've made some fun records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 According to the website, both 4 and 5 string models are both passive, so electronic ‘hiss’ won’t be generated by that part of the signal chain. I’d start looking elsewhere such as amplifier or pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Have you tried a different lead(s)? Different amp? Does the hiss disappear when you touch any of the metal parts (bridge for example)? Could be one of many different things, unfortunately, you have to eliminate each one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
