mrtcat Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Anyone else had this? Just picked up a lovely Spector bass from the Basses For Sale forum and can't fault it other than the fact the preamp seems to struggle with interference. I've completely checked the shielding and wiring. It's all well done and there are no earthing issues. I just keep getting little crackles of interference every few seconds. The bass is great but pretty much un giggable as it is. A quick google suggests this isn't uncommon with the Aguilar pres and the Aguilar themselves are less than helpful with it. Any ideas?

Hellzero Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Do you have a phone or a PWM power supply nearby ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I have even tried switching lights on / off and moving around the studio. Nothing seems to make it worse or better. I've had loads of active basses over the years but this is the first time I've had an aguilar pre and the first time I've ever had a problem.
