I just picked up one from 88. Mine has some noticeable noise if the highs are boosted. Does yours?

Yeah but that happens with my more modern SR´s as well. AND when boosting treble on the SSL console in the studio I run! :D I don´t notice it alot live and it´s never been a problem really in a live situation. But I´ve had to solve some problems that has occured in the studio. On this song for instance....

Full treble, no mid, full bass on the SR. Foam under the strings by the bridge. I really like the sound. But noisy treble AND the PUP picked up the click through the speakers in the studio that I played to. :D Loud too. So I added some noise reduction and we also added some sounds at the beginning of the song to hide the click on the bass track. ;) Problem solving. Sometimes a part of what we have to do..... But I´ve never experienced that it´s been a problem with noise when boosting treble in a live situation. Only in the studio. And I would say that this is a "problem" with probably all active basses on the market when listening in a quiet recording studio. And, again, even my SSL console adds noise when boosting treble on the filters..... And that thing has bloody expensive filters.....!! :rolleyes:
