Roger Eve Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Help please: I have taken as a trade an I banez SR1300, lovely bass but seems to have a wierd harmonic sound to the strings, more pronounced when in passive mode. I have changed the strings and altered the bridge settings but the sound remains. Nothing seems to be loose, any ideas ? I also have an SRMS805 so I know it shouldnt sound like this! Quote
hooky_lowdown Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Sometimes the machine heads rattle, which causes a harmonic sound. So check them, make sure they're not slightly loose.😃 Quote
Osiris Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 If it's a Chorus effect type sound it could be due to the pickups being too close to the strings. Try lowering the pickups to see if that helps, you just need to give each screw half a turn or so, maybe a little more. 1 Quote
