    Double Bass Crack at violin corner - how bad is it?

    Dear fellow forumites, I'm a beginner and this is my first (own) bass. About a year ago, when I bought it, there was no crack in the lower left violin corner, but I noticed it felt dry/crisp. Now there's a crack (see pictures). How bad is it? Do I need to take it to a luthier right away and...

    Eden WT 800 Issue

    Picked up a WT 800 today to fix up. It's buzzing when it warms up. Replaced the tube and cleaned the inputs. Buzzing goes down after 5-10 minutes, it occasionally crackles and the volume output is lower than it should be. Read on a thread here that it may be a transformer issue, but unsure. Does...

    Rustling Sound From Active Bass (Only While in Active Mode)

    Hi! My new Harley Benton BZ-4000 NT from Thomann has arrived. It sounded good for about a week and then, while playing, I heard a somewhat loud pop sound and rustling sound began escorting every note I played. This bass has the ability to switch from active to passive and it appears that the...

    Bass through guitar amp crackle noise

    Hi all, I have started playing bass, but as I have not bought a bass amp yet I am playing through a 20 watt guitar amp and a Celestion Vintage 30 loaded guitar cab. I know that this can be dangerous, so I am listening for the signs of the speaker being driven too hard. However, when I play...

    Sadowsky NYC Input Jack issues

    Hey all, My main bass is a Sadowsky NYC PJ 5 string. I had noticed that the input jack started becoming a little "crackly" a few months ago, but it was intermittent and only acted up if the cable was really moved around a lot (when I play, the cable is tucked through the strap and stays mostly...

    Ampeg SVT-CL help - crackle/static noise

    Hoping I can tap the braintrust here for a little help diagnosing an SVT-CL issue. (First, yes, I have some tube amp repair experience and know how to keep myself safe poking around inside one of these beasts.) This issue: when the amp is turned on, off standby and being played for a few...

    SVT410HLF crackle

    I was having problems with the horn in this Ampeg bass cabinet. I replaced the L pad, capacitors and the horn itself. If I turned the L pad anything over "0", I got lots of noise from the horn. As I didn't have anything else to do, I removed the horn. Anything I may have missed? Thanks for...

    Pedal Pop?

    Why does a pedal make a loud pop when it gets turned on? I snagged a Foxpedal Defector Fuzz last week, and it's pretty cool, but it has a loud pop when it comes on. I think it's true bypass, and remember that possibly having something to do with it, but I can't remember what. I'm gonna take it...

    Ashdown Mag 300 Crackling Input

    I acquired an Ashdown MAG 300 Amp from a mate who emigrated and wanted to test it before selling it for him. I don't have any instruments to test it with as he took his guitars with him, but with an audio cable from my Pc I can get it working ok. The only problem is it crackles when the Input...

    Crackle coming from cabinet when tweeter is on, is it blown?

    Hey TB I have an Ampeg SVT PR410 hlf cabinet that makes a very obvious crackle/staticky sound only when I turn the tweeter on, and the sound goes completely away if I dial it all the way down. I am not a “technician” by any means so any advice on what to do next would be appreciated. I’ve seen...

    Fender Rumble V3 crackle pop hiss

    Love my Rumble 500 but lately it's started making some crackle pops and hisses when the fan kicks in while I'm not playing. I've tried, 1. plugging in head phones - still happens 2. plugging directly into the RETURN - still happens to a far lesser degree 3. not having instrument plugged in at...

    BA-115 "wheezing"

    I've got one of those nice little ampeg BA-115 combo's and in the past couple months have noticed a crackle/wheeze that comes on intermittently. Sometimes it isn't there at all, sometimes it is pretty present. The weird thing is that if I hammer out a few loud notes the "wheezing" typically goes...

    Red Witch Factotum jack/stomp switch woes

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a Red Witch Factotum pedal, which is a combination Octaver and Drive. I love the thing, like the sound it gives me. But I noticed early on the input jack was stubborn when pushing an instrument cable (or pedal board cable) into it. It feels like the tip of the...
