denisw Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have a Marcus Miller Bass.I have noise issues with the Bass.I think it's either the Pick-ups or the Pre-amp.The noise goes when I put my hand on the neck.I think it is 60 cycle hum,I could be wrong.Would changing the Pre-amp get rid of the noise or should I change the Pick-ups?.

markdavid Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi, It could be either the pre amp or the pick ups as they are single coils (which are notorious for hiss etc) , However it may (or may not) be worth noting that Marcus Miller actually uses a Sadowsky pre amp on his bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion Badger Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I had a similar problem with my MM Jazz. I took it to a local repairer and he managed to sort it. It was an issue with the screening and the electrics werent grounded properly. Needless to say it is now solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
