bubinga5 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I seem to be having difficulties with the high end volume on my Amp/Cab...The amp is an Aguilar 500sc and the cab is a agy 212..I used to think it was one of my basses, but it seems to do it with every bass.. .For example last night on a Stingray5 i was playing with everything dialled in to the middle. i was getting loads of punch from notes on the B E and A string but when i play up high it just seems to loose volume and its really frustrating..I know its not the strings choking, the tweeter dial on the back of the cab is on full the mids and treble on the Amp are up.. Its like there is a limiter on the amp stopping the highs from being played loud I really can not work out what is going on..I want the same volume across all of the strings...It might be something really obvious but i cant see it? Any help much appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the amp with a different cab, once again this will tell you if it's the amp or cab at fault. Is it you? Do others hear the same thing? Have you tried using a compressor or an EQ pedal/rack?
