[quote name='mercuryl' timestamp='1325005977' post='1479060'] Usually means you are maxing out the input gain. Are you using an effects pedal in front of it? Or are you using an active bass or some other bass with a very high output? Other than that, Deepbass5's comments above about a small amp's general capabilities are relevant. No pedals [/quote] [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1325016871' post='1479194'] Make sure you aren't clipping the input. Turn the bass down and the amp up. If the amp has a master volume run that high and the input gain low for maximum headroom. [/quote] [quote name='mercuryl' timestamp='1325018180' post='1479207'] If there is no input gain level knob on the amp, then use the bass volume knob. Do this. Turn the amp volume knob up all the way, then plug in the bass with the volume knob(s) turned all the way down. Then, gradually turn the volume knobs on the amp up until it gets to the "farting thing", then turn the volume knob(s) down just down below that level. Yes that seems to work cheers skez There you go. [/quote]

I have tried to us the new multiquote button (respond to two or more quotes in 1 posting) I cannot make it work and just get single quotes. Can anyone give me some simple instructions on how to do it. skez

I still use trace elliot and swr gear both excellent skez

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' timestamp='1314467893' post='1353804'] I own, have owned and have played through in no particular order: Trace Elliot, Ashdown, MarkBass, Crate and Ohm, Marshall, Peavey, Ampeg, Behringer and probably several amps. I have never had any trouble getting a good sound as long as I start with everything flat, and then either tweak what needs tweaking or leave it alone. However I have also see people twiddling the same amp and getting a crap sound by not setting input & output volume correctly, pressing pre-shape buttons & adjusting the graphic eq into smiley face. [/quote] I agree start with all amp and guitar controls flat.

There is only 1 volume control and no active passive switch skez

I do not use pedals but the bass is active. Im glad to find out it is probably the amp as I was just going to spend £50 on a new speaker. skez

Thanks I assume if its the amp there is nothing I can do about it skez

Does anyone know the rating of the standard SWR speaker fitted to the workingman's 10 combo skez
