Hello-Last night I used my 'big boy' bass rig (Eden 4x10 using a Mackie 1400i). Whenever I attempted to add just a little treble to my signal I got a lot of signal noise. How can I stop this irritating sound?

Wich treble you turn ? On your amp or on your bass ( tone ) ?

Both. I spoke with a repair person who suggested turning the horn volume down. I'll try that suggestion tomorrow night when I play.

Could be any number of things. It is hard to diagnose stuff like this via internet forums. Start substituting stuff. Try the same instrument with a different cord and amp. See if it replicates the issue. If not then it is the amp or speaker cab. Try a different amp then try a different cab. Eventually you will find the source.

What's between the BG and the power amp?

My precision bass was too trebly for my current set up, so based (insert joke here) on suggestions I turned off the horn in my cabinet, used a 3 to 2 plug adaptor and set both pickup tone levels to middle detents, lowered the treble on the preamp and dialed up more mid tones. All of this combined fixed my problem. Kudos to Jim at GuitarWorld!!
