Hi, all of my basses are passive and I just got a Gibson LPB2 that has Bartiloni actives with no on off for the preamp. The signal from the Gibson is so hot I have to turn the input gain to where it just turns on to make the bass useable. I use 3 older amps in my rig and none have the -15db input pad switch for a active bass like newer amps. I can get it to work by rolling the volume back on the bass but there is treble loss. I tried a EH signal pad and that thing really kills the tone, completly worthless. I am looking for a external -15 db pad I can just turn on and off for just when I use the Gibson, any ideas?
