problem

Yamaha B100-115III When I turn it on zero sound or hum, then a few seconds and there's a click in the cab (muting switch?). No sound. I disconnected the speaker and pulled it out of the cab. Nothing looks burnt. Lights staying on with it disconnected from the speaker as well. Any help would be...

Putting together my son's p-bass (built from scratch), having an issue with no sound output. Let me say I'm a certified electrician and my job is troubleshooting circuitry in industrial machines, so I have a very good grasp of electricity and how it works. To me, p-bass wiring is (or looks to...

Hey, I’m a beginner at bass and was wondering if there was any way to plug in the Zoom B1X Four into my computer and my bass, using headphones, and be able to hear both computer audio (like YouTube bass tutorials) and my bass at the same time. For some reason whenever I do that I can only hear...

Heya, a new-ish bassist here. A worrying event happened as I accidentally placed my bass against the wall at a weird angle and slid off onto the left and landed on the tuning pegs. The biggest concern is that the floor is marble. Picked it up quickly, played a few notes and found that all of the...

Hey everyone, I recently purchased an Ampeg SVT-CL Heritage (2 weeks ago) and have encountered a problem. Initially, it worked fine, but now there's a slight hum/noise / sparkling sound. Moreover, I've noticed a blinking red light on the left side at the back, next to the usual green lights...

Hello Talkbass Community So there's a problem with my aguilar 750db top. Whenever I use that amp (I've tried it on two cabinets so far, on an aguilar 2x10cab and an orange 4x10cab) there's a strange sound coming at a very high frequency. In the case of the aguilar 2x10 cabinet whenever I...

Well, I want to tell you about an annoying problem that my friend has. He told me that from one moment to another when he went to church and played as usual (volume at 60%) now it sounds almost nothing. I am an IT guy and he brought me his equipment to see it because here in the city nobody...

Hey how are you all? recently picked this up and must say I love. Yea it’s not the most amazing sound but it’s cheap, small and is better than no sound. Earlier I was playing around with the built in drum beats. Just sat down now to have a noodle against a beat and whenever I press the button...

I hope you can help me out GUYS i am so frustrated!!! When i play sometimes the volume of the amp dramatically decreases and sometimes it goes to mute!!!! without any obvious reason when i turn off the amp and wait for 30minutes i turn on again and the amp plays fine!!! ..for some months i...

Hello everyone. I was a little (very) tired of waiting for everything to fall into place, for some reason I decided to get to know you with my experience of buying a bass guitar from Chowny Bass. It all started in 2019, in September, when I was on the wave from Davie504. I decided to buy my...

I recently installed a couple of new MFD G&L Humbuckers in a project bass. While they sound really good, they are HIGHLY sensitive to touch when in parallel or series modes. Meaning if you touch the pickups while playing, you can hear it. If you use the pickup as a thumb rest you can hear your...

Hi! I had read lots of threads with tracking problem with the M288 or other octave pedals. Mine was working flawlessly but one month ago, live, it stopped tracking notes. At all. The pedal is on, led is on, the knobs works but modifies the medium, treble and bass frequencies (in that order) but...

So I just bought this off Reverb, used in excellent condition. It sounds great, but the metering light switches from red to yellow instead of fading. So it kind of works, but it's not acting correctly. I hate to return it, so I'm hoping somebody has encountered this and has an easy/cheap...

I bought the microtubes 900v2 a few months back. Recently I started noticing some weird volume drops. It was hard to diagnose since they seem to be occur at random times and usually only last for a few seconds. Now I did some more thorough testing and it seems that sometimes the volume indeed...

Hi fellow bassists, I recently received a second hand Cort Curbow 4 FL and I'm surprised how low the volume is, specially when the EQ is engaged. As I switch away from the Slap mode the volume drops significantly. It is substantially lower than my passive basses. The Slap mode is acceptable...

I just got a new chorus pedal (MXR Chorus Deluxe) and when I tried it out with my overdrive (EHX Glove OD) this very loud signal comes through my amp. I noticed this only happens when I engage the overdrive pedal in some way. The overdrive comes before the chorus in my signal chain. I bought...

Hey guys, First Post on here but no happy reason. So I just purchased a new Pedal an dialed it in when I noticed that the clean signal on it's own has a really strange distorted effect to it. It sounds like a laser beam with a flanger on it or sth. I dont know how to put into words. Anyway, I...

Hello everone. My GK plex has a serious white noise problem, which I have tried many ways to solve. I use the GK plex of A03 firmware, and I use the attached official power cord, but the white noise is always there, no matter what I do, it's useless. Even if you toggle life/ground, you can't...

Hello girls and guys, I recently got my hands on Mesa Boogie M2000 and so far I'm really satisfied with the tonal flexibility it offers. I'm running it through the Markbass H104 (one of the first ones when they made it all black with silver badge) but I like to play with my headphones on when...

Hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well, I'm in some serious need of some help. Recently i bought an epiphone elitist eb3. Its an astounding instrument though ive ran into an issue. The varitone 4 way switch was working fine for the first week, but then it got a little loose. no problem. Long...

Not sharing many details here as I still have to discuss with the luthier, but just got my custom today... Side and fingerboard dots aren't a straight line (it's fretless, and also has the tiny dots on the FB like an F Bass). Pickup is not centered with neck (pole pieces aren't centered under...

Hi! I would be very grateful if someone could help me! I've purchased a Basslab with rough crystal pickups from Lefay, but one of them was defective. As someone that don't know much about electronics, i've asked a luthier about a repair and sent the pair to him. He said that the pickup wasn't...

Hi, Im new to tube amps. Trying to run an ampeg v4b reissue through a Aguilar 112db. If it's a tube how come I don't have this problem running it through my fender 115 neo? Both cabs 8 ohms.

Hello Talkbass users! I have made a similar post about playing both DB and EB but, I never truly talked about my feelings of confliction and looking for deeper advice. I am truly feeling super conflicted these past few months. I have enough to rent a Double bass and start taking lessons but on...

Hi everyone, So I have a Behringer Ultrabass BX4500H head I've been using for the last 13 years that I play through a Behringer BA810 cabinet. Normal wear and tear throughout the years, but nothing too rough (no falls, tips, and hard slams). I went to my band's jam space to practice alone and...

Greetings bass aficionados. I wanted to share my experience with ESP EII bass. Let me start off by saying the wood and the build of it was fantastic, even the sound was good when I managed for it to make a sound. The bass was factory sealed, opened in front of my eyes at SamAsh, so I know...

Greetings. Currently I'm having a problem with the switch of my EBMM Stingray 5 as the title suggest. The Parallel mode now is the neck position and the output have dropped quite a bit. The middle position have stayed as Single coil but the sound is thin and weak and the Series mode now is in...

When i play on E and A string on 12th and further frets i get a very dull sound and strings just don't ring, although i can make out the notes. The sound is similar to when you hit a metal barrel or pot with some water in it. And it's definitely not a problem with electronics, because the...

hi everyone! I own an EBS wah one already for a long time, don’t use it often though. It is an early version with a nickeled (?) pedal, not black. It seems to me that the wet signal (when the pedal is on) is louder than the dry one. Has anybody else experienced that also? Could it be caused by...

Wiring experts, I need your help!! I just finished wiring up my bass with two DPDT on/on/on switches for series/split/parallel on each pickup and an on/on switch for master series/parallel. I worked according to the diagram below. With the master switch set to series mode everything seems to...

I just got done with wiring in a kill button to my bass guitar and a few wires came undone that I thought I soldered in the right place, now there's a distinct buzzing/grounding problem happening, and the kill button itself is working perfectly, how do I fix this IMG_20210222_181434 by...

I got a Darkglass Microtubes 500v2, as a replacement for faulty Microtubes 500V1. In a nutshell, I had to return two Microtubes 500v2 before switching to another brand. At first I thought this new version was very cool because it had multiple features (Compressor, two distortions, cabinet...

Hi, i registered here to ask a question. I have a Roland Micro Cube GX, i was recording tracks with it since 11th November and now i have a bit of problems occured,(im playing acoustic) sound is like sizzling at the background of the track and the sound comes too low. I have a plug infront of...

Hi everyone!!!I need your help please. I have a Jackson js3v concert five string bass with Jackson pickups,i've recently replace them with the emgs 40dc(neck) and 40dcx(bridge).In amplifier playing fine but the big problem is when i'm trying to record with my steinberg ur22c card the signal is...

Hi there! Some background on my dilemma: A few weeks ago I was pondering getting T.I. flats for my Fender Jazz (fretted), and after installing them I was more than happy. A silky smooth feel under my fingers, I don't know if "subtle" is the correct term, but the set felt amazing. Sound-wise I...

Hi everyone, I have owned a Micro cube bass rx for about 10 years. Given great service for “quiet”practices, jamming in the garden etc. The last few weeks it has developed a static/electric nibble when I touch the strings. No hum just a click when you touch the strings Same on batteries or mains...

Hey TBers! I'm going to do my best to give you all the details about what the problem is, how I'm using my VT Deluxe and thus why the channel switching on it is so important for me. Please let me know if I miss out on any important detail. First off, The Problem I'm getting a faint signal...

So this is what happened: I was using toneprint app to set up some reverb settings and I unplugged the 9 volt power adapter because I couldn't hear any dry signal when I turn the pedal off. After that whenever I plug the 9 volt power adapter in to the pedal, it does nothing and will not turn on...

Hi guys, I need your help on something that's a real mystery to me: I've recently bought a new bass which I'm totally satisfied with. I really dig this instrument. It's a 2006 Fender Victor Bailey Jazz Bass V in mint condition. But I have a problem with it: I get a lot (really a lot!) of hum...

Hey guys, my 'used to be' intermittent problem with this Combo just turned permanent. It has happened maybe 1-2 times in the past 2 years, for a couple of hours .. then went away. The amp makes a strong background noise, sort of like a distorted ringing .. don't know. The sound of the bass...
