arcureo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi, I have an old [b]Trace Acoustic TAB-100[/b] bass combo (wooden finish version) that I'd like to sell, since I practically never use it, nowadays. The problem is that it does something weird, from time to time… shortly after I power it up it sounds very muffled and low in volume, but if I turn it off it kinda "pops alive" for a very brief moment, before turning off completely. Its volume kinda has a spike (to the level it should have been) and then rapidly dies out (being that the amp has been switched off). Then, if I switch it back on, immediately afterwards, it works normally, as far as I can tell.… as if the "have you tried turning it off and on again?" trick, really worked! Does anyone have [b]ANY[/b] idea of what could it be?!? Since I'd like to sell it, I'd like it to be in good working condition, [u]without[/u] that glitch! Does anyone know if it might be an easy-to-fix condition, or would it be so costly I shouldn't even bother and just throw it away? Other than that, the amp seems fine, so I'd hate to throw it away… but having it lying around the house, unused, seems kinda pointless… Thanks…!

Subthumper Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Get it serviced, sounds like a bad joint/fx loop problem, loose component or dirt in the pots. A good tech should be able to sort this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
