Sorry to bring this back from the dead, the culprit was a POS power supply. I just replaced it with a decent 500W supply, the fan is a little louder (not enough to matter), but no more of the stupid electrical whines I kept hearing. The sound was being driven by the CPU, I guess the old supply...

Ok my 2 cents... The DMP3 is a microphone and line input preamp. THats it. First off, a common signal path would include the following: Mic-->PreAMP-->Audio Interface-->Multitrack Software I dont see what sound card you are using? Are we assuming the basic PC sound card with 1/8 connectors...

Sounds like you need to start with basic troubleshooting. Test the MPA alone, just plug in both a mic and instrument and test thru your mixer. If it checks out good, NO issues then move onto the next device. Same for the PC, but it starts getting complicated, because it could be software...

Well I really appreciate the kindness!!! I love this board! :) THanks Brother! GN

Um I actually don't even own one... :p Wood shop was many moons ago! I know you are just answering my original question, but honestly with what I replaced new pups are on the back burner indefinitely. This bass is used to fill in any bass lines that sound more natural than midi on certain...

Here's a picture, yea I'm going to whore her out a little! :p I like it! From what I understand these early 80s bullet basses (made in Japan) are very close to the quality of an American Made version. It definitely sounds good to me!

Update.... I had new 250 pots, output jack and new badass bridge II installed. Had shop install everything and set the intonation, came out to $120 or so.... Wow!! Nice Nice improvement. The volume and tone knobs have more effect. The Low E and the A sound way more meatier... overall the bass...

Right now the bullet bass has the split single coil mustang bass pickups. I dont really know if these are the real ones since this is a japan version. Does anyone know if i can fit the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P-Bass Pickups in the pick, guard? Would i have to route out some material to...

Guys Question.... I have a 80's squier bullet bass. It's decent but i dont really like the tone, it lacks alot of punch and some clarity. My biggest complain is how much gain it requires to get decent levels, at which point certain strings sound too harsh. I'm wondering if I can upgrade...

I agree that it depends.... Certain genres will benefit, while others wont. I will say that unless you are doing a live band session a click track for the drums almost always helps. Solid drums usually produce excellent results. IMO all other instruments have more liberty.

gosh dont get your feelings hurt, i was being sarcastic, i really do appreciate that you took the time to explain it to a noob like me. So i'm aplogize if you didnt catch that. :) thanks again

Rite on, so basically you are saying STFU and set it @ 3k and know it's better than anywhere else?:o Hey if anything I'm learning something here. thanks~!

Well you just gave me a headache....:o I hope your info is correct and not just throwing words out there. Like I said I'm no pro nor do I have alot of experience with many pres, but i did notice a difference when lowering impedance. Honestly the SM58 sounded smoother right around the 1080...

Hey Found a really nice explanation. http://www.microphone-data.com/pdfs/Mic%20impedance.pdf Might not be entirely correct here.... Hope it helps someone else.

Yes correct ohms, sorry I left that out. :eek:
