The amp has definitely cooked ..never thought a dodgy cable could cause that 🤔

That’s good to hear ..possible fault on the amp has caused the speaker to blow ..though it’s beyond me why that could be the cause the amp wasn’t peaking and was working at about 30% as I was amazed at the volume available.

Looking for some advice on a EBS HD350 … I purchased one of these from a retailer last week and before buying I asked the minimum load as I’d heard these dropped to 2 ohms but I was unsure …I was told it did dropped to 2 ohms and have subsequently gigged with 2 x 4 ohms cabs ..you’ve guessed it cooked the speakers in one cab and blown the amp ..looking at the back panel I can see where a novice could misunderstand this (In hindsight I should have investigated deeper ) but relied on the advice given from retailer ..what I don’t understand is if its a 4ohm amp why does it say 8 or does it work from 8 ohm down to 2 ohm …

Yes me mate …not quite the same issue mine lost almost all volume..mine is 4 months old Andertons are being really unreasonable about it and insisted on looking now they want to repair which could take 6 weeks or more 😡

I’m afraid I’m totally old school .. learn by ear always have ..can’t teach an old dog new tricks ..

I picked up a epifani 2 x12 a couple of days ago £200.00 seems good

And I was lucky enough to have one 😂..

I had an A/O 900 head ( obviously different version to yours )with a 2 x12 cab …best set up I ever had ..really regret moving it on ..never missed a beat ..I guess all manufacturers have duff products..I’ve just had to send my GK legacy back ..it’s 5 months old !

I guess it’s a difficult industry to make money ..most of them price match with internet so margins I imagine aren’t massive ….

It has gone back to the retailer that supplied them for repair it’s not something I’ve taken on to get repaired .they did spring the 30 days on me ..i know they only get one chance at a repair….i guess it’s a lot easier to battle on the end of computer..gone are the days you can go in the shop and bash on the counter demanding to see the manager

Is it worth buying through a retail shop nowadays?…from my experience there doesn’t seem to be a lot of “customer service “..for me to justifiably buying new ..I have 2 products that have both had to be returned for “repair” the guitar is 8 months old the amp is 5 months.. from my days in retail a few years ago now you could refuse a repair and demand a new product things must have moved on since there or the music industry is a law onto there own ..not sure I want to go out with a repaired amp ..as we all know sometimes there’s a Friday afternoon jobs , and there were not even cheap products…anyone else has problems.? We obviously don’t need to name and shame just wondering if it’s me 😉

…I’ve got the combo 2 x 10 ..i do struggle to get definition on my b string anyone had this problem.

I will except..I know it will drag on if I dont ..they hold the money until it’s sorted …it’s that grey area ..obviously a business would legally have to except the return..and I may even keep it now ..I won’t be paying his postage though ..and an edit to this “it is *ucked ..now on its way back to andertons for repair ..really confused 🫤

And I’m now getting it returned to me at my cost because it doesn’t sound like the same model he tried in andertons ..and the standby light stays on for about 10 seconds after you’ve switched it off ..even though it’s stated on the GK site this is supposed to happen …🤔🤔..now hating eBay again 😡🤣

Any other bass chatters get there heads turned so easily by the prospect of a new bass in there life ..I’ve found 2 on eBay (and no I’m not telling anyone else what they are )🤣! I find it quite worrying that I was more than happy with the 4 basses I have but all I can think of is which one to dump so I can get the new shiny one ..I’m sure it’s a bassist hangup as none of the members of the 2 bands I’m in get through the same amount of gear I do ! ..do I have a mental problem if so do we have a bass chatter physiologist on here !

I knew you’d notice that 😂

I have given my other one a bit of a make over over

I love atks..they are amazing bass’s ..I had a few but always seem to move them on ..I don’t really know why 🤔and always regret it 😔
