DI-E : Perfect for everything except (passive) Bass Guitar

5 years ago

I have about 5 of these for; Acoustic Guitar, Keyboard, Pads, Click & Electric Guitar. But not Bass, why?

For some reason when you try to plug in a bass (Passive) and try to turn it up on the mixer you get this crazy loud screeching sound. At first I thought the bass was broken (but no it worked fine with an amp), then I thought the cable was broken (but no I double checked with a cable checker) then I checked the DI with an acoustic guitar and it worked fine.

I then came to the conclusion that the bass was unable to output a strong enough signal to be used with a passive DI box. So I ordered the Behringer BDI21 in hopes that it will solve my issue.
