hi guys

i bought a mexican std p bass over the internet and it arrived this morning. as someone who also plays guitar i thought i could save money this month by buying an amp next month and playing it through my line 6 pod studio ux1. however it is very quiet... as in if the volume knob goes below 7 (on the bass) it is muted.... everything on the line 6 pod, and pod farm is maxed (volume gain etc.) the cable makes a loud crackling noise as per usual, and have tried 2 cables. is it simply a case of new strings? or is there more likely to be a problem with the electrics?

i have set the pick up height to fender specs

cheers

Rob

welcome welcome. I have to say I'm confused. I would start with just the guitar and check out the volume pot without all the other stuff hooked up to it. Start there so you can narrow things down a bit. As far as the pod -start with low settings on the compressor or just turn off the compressor or any limiter or turn down signal saturation. Play thru the pod with no effects and check the volume pot in that situation. Turn down effects output etc etc.......
Are you playing thru a "Bass Pod" or a guitar Pod? That's all I'm allowed to think about for now.

it's a pod studio ux1 (basically a usb interface for the computer) it had the bass amp models on pod farm running.

i took it to the shop, they plugged it into the amp and keep turning the amp volume up with nothing coming out, so they swopped it out for me.

i was hoping there was something stupidly obvious that was causing the issue, but it was pretty major..

cheers
