Aguilar ag 500 sc

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Howdy! I purchased this from a fellow basschatter ,and have used it in band practice
about half a dozen times no problem. I have also used this at home quietly
a few times no problem.

I purchased the Aguilar DB112 Cab new from Bassmerchant .
I do play with amp ontop of cab,but I took feet from an old electrical appliance
and these fit good giving the amp breathing space etc.

I like to use the amp freestanding ,and not in a rack case as I believe possible
overheating could damage unit.

Tonight,all of a sudden a frying noise is coming from amp.
(similar sound to when a battery is running low on an active bass).
I turned knobs, switched amp on/off a few times and I get sound briefly.
Then it cuts out.

I 'll probably take it in to be repaired (denmark street)

Please could you reassure me that it's only a small problem I have with this,and that it won't cost
a fortune to repair?
Any advice appreciated.

Cheers
Ray

Thanks for that. Do you know if they have got a uk address or is it the usual American one?

Aha!! I think I'm a complete plonker. I've just used a spare lead and I think
that the amp is fine
Now to get some ideas from you fellow Bchatters for the best lead to buy.

I think this post is closed.

I use Dave's leads and I'm not too ashamed to put in a plug (and a pun):
