Hi guys
Yes this is the one, I bought it from new 6 years ago.
I know this model has been de-listed and replaced with the AH600, so I'm hoping parts will still be available

I have a Trace Elliot AH500-7 and during a gig last week the sound from the speakers just cut out. I tried a few things but couldn't get it back again, there was still power to the amp but the red LED above the output gain was clipping.
I have had the amp out of it's casing and noticed the fan isn't turning, I assume now that there is a cut off when the fan fails to protect the amp / speakers etc. There doesn't seem to be any power getting to the fan so at the moment I am unsure as to whether there is a problem with the board or just the fan.
My question is: if the fan needs replacing is there a specific fan to fit this model, would an off the shelf fan do the job? If there is a problem with the powder to the fan then I guess this is a job for a trained professional.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with this or any other TE model?

Thanks guys,
Ghost Bass, the picture is indeed my amp.
I will try all the suggestions and see if I still have any issues -
Hi
I have a Trace Elliot AH500-7 bass head and 2 x 10 + 1 x15 cabs, I'm currently playing a passive Fender Jazz bass, strung with medium gauge strings, through this set-up.
The problem I have is that I set the input gain as per the instruction manual and find that it's peaking with the input gain at less than 1, I've read that normally it should be between 5 and 8. I've set the pick-ups low to try an compensate but this hasn't helped.
Any ideas

Hi, I have an old Charvel Model 2B bass from the 1980's and would like to use it as a back-up bass. I have had the electronics serviced but there is some neck damage, what I would like to know is can I substitute the neck with a precision / jazz type neck as the current neck type (drop down) does not fit in with the style of music I play i.e. 70's / 80's Bowie tribute band

Thanks Geoff
I did indeed take it to a pro and the fan was found to be damaged, when removed it just fell apart.
Anyway a new fan has been fitted and all is well again, gigged it last Friday with no issues so hopefully the problem is solved.
