    Just tweaked again, managed to reduce the apparent signal drop (measured via my ashdown compressor VU meter) to about 25-35%. I am not sure how more I can gain (no pun intended)! It is not something as straightforward as power distribution across the different frequency domains?

    Hey guys I know this topic is a little old, but here goes... I have just bought a BB1024X from a fab shop (bass direct in warwick), thro a genz benz streamliner 600 and 2 10 cab, it sounds awesome. Now when I play anything on the D or G string, they sound so much quieter than does the A or E. I did a quick calculation and estimate a 60% drop compared to the E and A string, irrespective of the fret position. I have tried adjusting the pickup height and string height to increase the gain, but ended up with fret buzz and shortened sustain due to pull of the magneti the pick-up. Any suggestions would be most welcome Thanks Chris

    Hi folks I have a mk2 superbass 100 W head and a 4 x 12 1935 cabinet. When I play at reasonable volume (to keep up with the drummer) I have noticed that I get a peculiar 'farting' noise from the cab. I suspect that the amp is clipping; It only occurs when I drop the E to D. I am playing a ricky 4003, occasional compressor/expander - and am after a deep percussive sound, as I am in a three piece band and need the ricky to be in full song across all frequencies....... Cheers Chris

    Hi Guys I have a 'new', 1935 4 12 marshall bass cab, it needed some work to replace a celestion GT12-75 guitar speaker with an eminence beta 12; now I am using a Mk2 superbass head, a few effects (compressor etc); I have noticed that at practice volume (i.e to keep up with the drummer) when I drop the E to D, I get a 'farting' noise - Am I clipping the speaker, and what do you think the solution is? I have rewired the cab to 16 ohms, and rewired the cab with better quality wire and fittings. Any thoughts??? Chris
