Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Having problem - general Q about wattage, heads, and cabs (bass related)

Richard (errant_jedi) - 10 Feb 2005 18:54:15

I've discovered the source of the noise--it's the
active pickups on the Ernie Ball Stingray I'm using.
I tested the head at my amptech's through a great big
2x15 and a Gibson passive bass. Great sound, cranked
it all I wanted, no noise.
Got back to the practice space, warmed her up good and
plugged both cabinets into the 4 ohm
jacks...noise...switched cable...no noise...plugged in
Precision bass...perfect. Low hum, no ambient noise
or popping while playing. I cranked it and banged it
and it was perfect. I plugged the Stingray in with
the onboard eq turned all the way up and it did
ok...but periodically there was the popping. Rolled
way off the tone and that was much better, less hum,
and no popping, but is that normal for active pups?
