thumbo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Flippin' eck... the difference a nice pic and a white pick guard can make [size=4] Good work sir, I imagine that pickup combo sounds really good. [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Intriguingly, everything sounds great until I plug through a wireless system. At that point, the controls suddenly go from being noiseless and trouble-free to being remarkably crackly and buzzy, with one of the volume knobs being virtually microphonic ... if you tap the knob you get a sound like a spring reverb going through a flanger. The solution is laughably easy, of course. Don't go wireless. But I'd like to know what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is that every wireless system, or just one? And have you tried the wireless system with any other passive basses? Just thinking that if there's a coupling capacitor on the input of the wireless transmitter and it's gone short-circuit, a passive bass's volume and tone control won't be isolated whereas an active bass will probably have a coupling capacitor on the output, hence preventing any varying DC bias being applied.

Happy Jack Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's a brand-new Sennheiser XD, and I've used it with several basses (both passive and active) - this is the only one where there seems to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Gah! I missed all this... great purchase by the look (and I'm sure the sound) of it, Jack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
