Humming bass pickup

hello

i have a harley-benton hbb500tbk electric bass. it's a cheap one, but it's active and ok for me. the problem is that the one pickup makes a humming noise (like some ground problem), which makes it kinda unusable. i can use the other one, which doesn't make any noise (at least no unwanted) but i like the sound of the other one better (except for the humming of course).

Direct vrs. Mic'd bass tone

Forums

Ive gone back and forth between the two... I normally go with a bit of both... direct to get some of the highs and clicks, microphone to get some of the girth and low/mids.

however, i've reached a point where i'm not able to improve the tone of any bass i work with. and essentially rely on lots of EQ, compression and even pre-amp plugins.

Quantum Leap Hardcore Bass, questions.

Hey, i'm a heavy metal guitarist, songwriter etc that does mostly solo work (Being that i cannot find a single likeminded soul in scotland, :lol:).

I'm needing to lay some bass tracks but i don't have one and any bass i could potentially borrow is cheap rubbish.

I am looking at this library (Having already fallen in love with other EW products, DKFHS and Sym Orchestra Gold).

bass mix

hello guys!

I've got data for mixing from a band.
Some of The recording data is full of dirt. I already advice them to record again some of them. but they its just for demo, so they think it's not necessary. But, this is a big problem to me. Because its mean, Hard work over day and night before mix.

Some of them were vocal, kick, snare and bass!
