Had it since Feb 2019 so I don't think this would matter now.

Ok, I squirted some Deoxit in, gave the knob a few turns (quiet at the back) and it appears to have done the trick. I did check before doing it that the noise was there, and it has now gone.

Thanks for that. I thought something was different when taking them out but didn't mentally note it. I would have bugerad them had you not mentioned it.

Just brought my can of Deoxit in from the garage and waiting for it to reach room temperature. I'll report back later.

Hmm, where do I spray? If If I were to release those those two latches would the pcb come away with the exposed pot on it?

I'll go and give that a go myself while I'm in the mood, I've recently bought a can of Deoxit. Did the pot have any access holes to spray into, a lot seem to be completely sealed now?

I may have been one of the early ones to mention hearing this 'crackle' on the master volume. I still have it. It has not got any worse. It only does it when adjusting it with a signal into it. It seems to be more of 'that's the way it works' on this amp, than a dirty pot. Does anybody not get it?

Whistling smps?

I don't like the sound of my nails clicking the strings, sounds like playing with a tweeter on. I have gone as far as rubbing my nails on the brick wall outside the venue to eradicate that sound.

You need to know how many pins it has. They are often referred to as 'Fender' pc mount jack sockets.

Do folk still solder using one of these...

They are mine, HiWatt 2x15 and Sound Shitty 4x12.

I would have preferred a zero fret.

Epi cover on an Artec pickup... Edit to add - the bar with the pole-pieces can easily be swapped over. I painted a spare Epi cover black for my Elitist EB3....

I can go with rolled up shirt sleeves but rolled up coat/jacket sleeves...why? Take your coat off if it is too warm.

I never had much success with mine. Came with the magnets in the wrong orientation... slightly wider string spacing... although it had the same dc resistance as a Gibson mudbucker it did not have that sound.

The Epi Elitist EB3 was a different kettle of fish to the standard Epi, and cost a lot more.

My '90 and '91 Thumb basses are still on their original sockets.

Update. A couple of weeks back I helped someone on TB in regards to removing the circuit board from this amp as he wanted to change the input jack socket. It had me thinking that mine is 20 years old and a new socket would not go amiss and I would give the board a fresh look at finding the fault. On removing the old jack socket I noticed this.... I have used it since at an outside event and it performed flawlessly.
