Last post by Stonergrunge - May 25, 2025, 08:20:20 PMI recorded this extended jam yesterday... now, please keep in mind that I haven't played bass since I was in high school, this is my first bass ever and I've been playing it since late january so, yeah, mistakes are pretty much guaranteed.
The chain: Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass > Peterson StroboStomp HD tuner > Latent Lemon Audio Bass Brassmaster octave fuzz ("Harmonic 2" mode on) > Frost Giant Electronics The Maryland Doomfest '23 Massif fuzz > Morley PBA-92 Rex Brown Old Blue Wah > Fender Rumble 40 V3 1x10 bass combo amp (with the overdrive at full gain).

Last post by Pissy - May 24, 2025, 07:07:59 AMActive or passive electronics? Assuming they're passive, My guess is the tone potentiometer.
When you go full bass, you're basically taking the resistor out of the circuit bleeding all of the high frequencies to ground. When you go full treble, you're using all of that resistor, bleeding nothing to ground. When your issue is at its worst, is when you're using all of that resistor, when you get the problem partially, only some of it, when you don't have the problem at all, none of it. Change the pot. I think Fender jazz pots are 250k. They're smaller physically than would go in say a Telecaster, if I recall correctly.

I'd gut it as a matter of annual maintence. Level and true it up, keep yer fingers happy. If Pissy will take it in, just have the whole axe on the bench for a tune-up. That's always smart. I'll send $25 bucks at it /for free-jazz.

Last post by mortlock - May 23, 2025, 10:09:14 PMhey pissy. so i narrowed this down. its def not the amp because the same thing happened to me with a different amp. i took all the pedals out of my signal chain and plugged strait in to the amp.
its my bass. with my tone rolled to full bass its fine, once i roll the tone to more treble its starts to happen, and if i max out the treb it gets more intense.
whats the problem? a ground wire?

TV/Movie Reviews / Nirvan(n)a the Band
Last post by sleestak - May 17, 2025, 12:14:26 AMSaw a funny meme on instagram and googled the show it came from. Anyone watch? Kind of idiocy absurdist sketch like scripted comedy a la the Detroiters. Madcap. Only watched one episode but liked. I guess they screened a movie at SXSW (apparently a time travel movie) and when Viceland went under they got the rights to the partially finished 3rd season and it's ongoing (not cancelled) thus far.
