jimmy23cricket Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So, I have 2 basses. Both running EMG’s in a PJ configuration. One is a 5 string and one is a 4 string. The 5 has a 24v power supply and the 4 has an 18v supply. However, the 5 is substantially quieter then the 4. The 5 also has really uneven string volume. The only other difference is that the 4 has the BTC tone stack where the 5 has the passive tone pot. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why the 5 has so much less headroom?

TheLowDown Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Height of pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy23cricket Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 2 minutes ago, TheLowDown said: Height of pickups? I have adjusted up and down a bit. Still the same. The various string volume is really noticeable when just using the P pickups. Really big between the B and E. still can’t understand why the 4 is massively louder overall 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Do the preamps have any input/output gain adjustment to play around with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLowDown Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The volume difference with the B string could be a twisted string. Happened to me once. I'm not sure otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
