You will get
vanishingly better SNR with a passive bass dimed than at a lower

Assuming the bass is not a significant noise source and the noise
comes primarily from the amplifying stages, then doubling the signal
from the instrument obviously doubles the signal to noise ratio.

Basically - as long as we remember that dB is a log based scale.

Well, I think we mostly need to remember that it's a ratio, and try
not to become confused if it happens to be espressed as a logarithm.

SNR is a ratio of log based values.



Ypsilanti, MI.
Go Eagles.

Eh - my guitarist is an Iggle. I'm a Wolverweenie.

You're both in the wrong town then, aren't you. :-)

Well - I have an Ypsilanti mailing address, but I actually live just as
close to the Ann Arbor border as the Ypsi border. He lives all they way
out in Whitmore Lake.

I do have a wife that works for the Wolverweenies though, and a kid that
goes to preschool at EMU.
