jimmy23cricket Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 So, I have 2 basses. Both running EMG’s in a PJ configuration. One is a 5 string and one is a 4 string. The 5 has a 24v power supply and the 4 has an 18v supply. However, the 5 is substantially quieter then the 4. The 5 also has really uneven string volume. The only other difference is that the 4 has the BTC tone stack where the 5 has the passive tone pot. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why the 5 has so much less headroom? Quote

The various string volume is really noticeable when just using the P pickups. Really big between the B and E. still can’t understand why the 4 is massively louder overall 🤔 Quote
ikay Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Do the preamps have any input/output gain adjustment to play around with? Quote
TheLowDown Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 The volume difference with the B string could be a twisted string. Happened to me once. I'm not sure otherwise. Quote
