fleabag Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This sound is what happens when i turn on the amp. Its loud. There's nothing plugged into the amp, but connecting a bass makes no difference. Any ideas, tech savvy peeps ? Might need head phones ( or not ) amp.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 If it's any extra help, the volume on the amp can be completely off, or maxed out, and the level of loud humming doesnt change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Transformer on its way out or bad power have you tried disconnecting every thing and just powering the amp up with nothing else plugged in or switched on in the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing connected I would assume that the transformer is faulty then but I'm no expert I'm sure it would be an easy fix for some one amp savvy sorry I can't really be of much help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Its going back, but blimey guv, what a bluddy faff. I've been told that i must pack it properly ( they're arranging courier ) cos they wont be responsible for damage occurred in transit if its badly packed. Sure, fair enough. Thats ok with me. I then tell them i can pack well, but once its left my house, its out of my control, and i cant be responsible for YOUR courier throwing it around and causing damage, however well packed it is. They then say they're not going to send a courier, because i've not taken responsibility for the parcel all the way back to them ? WTF ? I told them i've packed and sent basses and cabs many times, and recently sent a cab to the Czech Rep. ( true ) and i know how to pack. They've arranged collection for Mon, but jeeeez....if the courier drops it from a great height, or reverses over it in a truck, no amount of packing will save it. But it will still be my fault.
