fretmeister Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I’m getting a warbling almost chorus type sound on my G string when playing above the 12th fret on my shorty p bass. It’s got brand new La Bella DTF on it. Any ideas? It’s quite annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Twisted string maybe, or have you tried lowering the G side pickup slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Lower your pickup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Can you hear it acoustically, or just via the pickup? If it's the latter, see above posts. If it's the former, it might be a badly cut nut, the string not low enough on the string tree, or a spring resonating in the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I’ve had that and fortunately in my case it was pickup height so easily dealt with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 I will try those things later. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I’ve had this - it’s was a pickup height problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Lowering the pickup solved it. Which is annoying as I wanted to use it for a bit of a ramp. Might have to make a couple of plastic pickup toppers to get the height back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
