I don't know what 2 do, my "gain" internally by the dip switches is at factory setting, I tried raising all the way that didn't do anything.
I did notice that my bass eq on the outside has all of a sudden become slightly loose, but I've given up, I don't know if anybody else has experienced this issue, it's come at the most in-opportune time.....thnx in advance!

Not sure what you mean by "swap the 9volts"....So, a couple things:
1. Make
certain your battery (for 9V Pre) or batteries (for 18V Pre) are
fresh.
2. Clean ALL your contact points with a Contact/Control Cleaner (i.e. this includes your cable ends, your input jack on bass, amp, or whatever other piece of gear you use that requires a connection.
3. Are you sure your cables are good?
4. Are you playing through an amp and if so, how do you know it's not your amp that's the issue?
If 1 - 4 above doesn't lead you to a solution, it could be a number of other things.
Also, as Ronen points out (
assuming the issue resides in the pre-amp of the bass which has yet to be determined), a workable solution: Pull upward on your Volume Control for Passive Mode. This will bypass the bass' pre-amp Tone Controls only giving you control of your Volume, Pan and S/P Switches (if you have them). Because you will be in Passive Mode, you will need to increase the Gain/Volume and make necessary tone control adjustments from your amp. This will get you by until you determine what the issue is.
Let us know your progress.
