FEZpig Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hey, I'm relatively new to bass or guitars in general, only about a year, but I've noticed there's always noise on my Squire affinity V jazz bass. It never used to bother me but now that I'm actually trying to record stuff its become a problem. After trying different audio interfaces and cables I've realised it only really happens when the master tone and the neck pickup are turned up. You can't really hear anything at first but as soon as I play there's like a fuzziness. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've attached an audio file of what happens. Thanks, bass noise .wav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Possibly a bad solder joint on the neck pickup / pot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.G.E.N.T.E. Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Only fuzziness, not cutting the sound? I would start by lowering a bit the neck pickup. It might be to close to the string creating some distortion. Or maybe there's to much gain and you're clipping the signal on your sound card. Edited March 23, 2023 by A.G.E.N.T.E.

Dan Dare Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Is it the deluxe active V version? If so, your battery may need replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
