Question about Warwick Bass and GK amp

Hello everybody...

I play a FNA Jazzman through a GK700RB-II and 410 SBX...sounds great and everything,but I'm not sure how to adjust the amp.You can switch the input of the amp for strong and weak signals...If I set it up for weak signals I get some clipping,especially if the humbucker is in serial-mode.If I set the amp for strong signals (-14db Button)...the tone dosen't have this "nice feeling" :twisted:


It would be great to get some opinons about how to adjust the amp and how to get a good and powerful tone.Maybe somebody here uses the same bass and amp like me.

 

i have had issues with my 1001RB-II that I have psoted extensively about in th amp section. It is a limitation of the amp, unfortunately. Set your pre-gain so it just clips and no more w hen you are hitting the strings hard, and then use the woofer knob to turn up the output volume.

 

Great head and great cab too (altough I don't own 'em).
Use the low signal input (not the -14 db) and adjust the Input Gain as Florin says.
Avoid excessive low boost either on the instrument and on the head, and you should be fine with a great tone

 

Thanks for all your answers...well thats the first bad thing I could find on this amp.

But I found a good solution...or better two.

The first one is that I use the Input for low signals and that I turn down the volume on the bass a little bit...just a little turn was needed and the clipping was gone.Or lets say I had a level where it just clipped when I played hard...but I think thats ok

My second idea was to use the high signal input and my EBS Compressorpedal as additional amplifier to get higher signal. :roll:

Maybe its also a little minus for the bass, because the switchable humbucker also has diffrent outputsignals...maybe there is a way to solve the problem.

But even without...its ok for me to turn down the basses volume a bit
