    Help!! - Loud incessant squealing sound coming from tube amp

    Hey guys, While playing through my amp yesterday (GK MB Fusion 800), all seemed to be going well until I changed the gain option from 1 (clean) to 2 (overdrive). This resulted in a loud, high pitched droning squeal coming from the amp, that remained even when switching back to the original gain...

    Issues with the 4th fret (first string) on my electric bass guitar

    So I bought an Ibanez bass guitar not too long ago, and I have a fender mustang Lt50 amplifier, but recently I noticed the 4th fret of the first string has been going in and out on certain settings, and some it's quieter than the other strings, I'm not sure whether it's the bass or the...

    Pedal Issues

    Hello, I have a pedal train set up with 6 pedals on it. Sometimes my sound cuts out or a buzz happens. If I play live the thing that usually fixes the issue temporarily is lightly smacking my Ibanez DE7 Echo/Delay peday. I tap the side where the pedal cable connects to it. Sometimes it makes...

    A string distorted/buzzing

    Hi, so I recently bought my first ever bass (Ibanez Talman TMB100M) and my A string has this issue where it sounds extremely distorted when played. This problem occurs even when it's unplugged from the amp, and it only happens when it's played either open or until fret 7. Passed fret 7 it sounds...

    Music Man Bongo Signal Problems

    I just want to know if this is a problem with all Bongo Basses or just mine. So it started around the end of August when I was just playing somewhere and I go to plug in and I notice that there's no signal going to the amp so I figured that the battery's in it must be dead. So when I get home, I...

    Accidentally ripped the bridge ground out, no unwanted noise plugged, but will it cause issues?

    SD Apollo issues- Installer (me) error? Phase issue or failed installation?

    Balanced tension strings on ABG with under saddle piezo helps volume issues

    I've been struggling to get a balanced amplified volume across the strings of my ABG which has an under saddle piezo strip pickup - a common setup for this type of instrument.

    Ibanez BTB400/405 preamp issues?

    I just got a BTB405QM in trade for a BTB400QM. Both basses have issues with the mid-frequency pot. The one I've got now has a super weird warble about half-way through the frequency pot rotation and also volume differences. Is this maybe a dirty pot issue? I'm probably replacing the preamp...

    Peavey Max 115 II Volume Issues

    So I bought a Peavey Max 115 used from GC for around $200 (I gig regularly so I’m not crazy fixated on tone as long as the amp has some sort of OD & a tuner I’m set). But I get the thing and at first it’s great light weight and comes with what I’m looking for but when I set it up to rehearse...

    New US-mage G&L SB-2. Very nice but some issues

    I've just received a new US G&L SB-2 lefty (if you don't mind I prefer not to post pictures, due to some personal privacy reasons). Overall, it looks like like a quality constructed instrument, but after seeing many threads here saying "I've had a bunch of US G&Ls and never had an issue", or...

    Double Bass 1940s 5/8 German laminate with bass bar issues. Worth repairing?

    A few years ago I traded a Palatino EUB that I never used for a 5/8 German laminate with a 38.5" scale length. It sports a sticker saying "Made in Germany US Zone," which puts its birthday in the mid-'40s to early '50s. The joy of acquiring a cool old bass via trade quickly faded when my...

    So my Ibanez BTB came with one of those locking Neutrik Output jacks. About 6 months after buying my bass, I started getting a lot of static and buzzing after plugging in. The more time passed, the problem started to happen while I was playing, and it eventually led to loss of signal. So I...

    I'm currently working on assembling a early 70's style precision bass with an all parts body and a fender neck. I had lined the pickup cavity and control cavities with all parts copper tape so I won't get any feedback and buzzing. I soldered the pickups and everything worked fine until I...

I bought two Bourne attenuation pots (only needed one) & one was bad right off the bat. The Bourne blend pot I got...

    Volume output Issues on Seymour Duncan Pickups
