Bugera BVV3000 Infinium Red Fault No Power

[Downunderwonder]

It's crazy this is the only bv3000 in talkbass circulation. I'd like Auntie B to get her tail twisted to fix it properly, and cut out the b/s telling you lies about what's happening with it.

Yea i know i wouldn't want to rip off my brother bassists out there, what worries me the most is fixing it again selling it and it still fails.

Get it fixed under warranty, or quote a lemon law for a refund.

yea, anyone know who to contact in the Bugera organization for lemon law refunds?

ya know i bet these amps are ok, the problem with my case was with zzounds when I ordered it they had 2 in stock, 1 refurb, 1 brand new so I opted for the new one. I am sure they sent me the refurbed one, they refused to talk to me because this issue happened after their 30 day window. bugera support did a 180 on me and sent back the amp still with issues. Sounds great when it works though heh when it works.

Didn't you know? That's the Bugera byline.

hey you tube head users, when ya crank the master volume of your rig do you hear a 60 hz hum?
mine does

[B-string]

From which amp head and with or without an instrument cable plugged in.

[jjlent]

the bugera stack with a cable plugged in.
the amp on the stack to the right is the bugera replacement and my Cristmas gift justification.

[B-string]

With a cable plugged in it could be just a sign of a high gain stage design picking up house wiring noise. If it is not present with the cable un-plugged the amp is okay, your bass may have a shielding problem or you could have a TV in operation in the same room or same circuit?

Without a regulated DC heater supply, the mains frequency (or the ripple) is everpresent in the signal, just the nature of the things. Some designs hum more, some less.

Humming with the input contact(s) open, ie. the cord attached, is often a result of passive PU's and/or inadequate shielding.

Since the mains filtering is usually non-existant on the cheapos, the interference can come through the mains supply as well, but then it's seldom the mains frequency that seeps through.

so jj i see u returned the blacksmith..... ya i couldnt justify 2500 for that amp (but look at me..i spent 1400 on the fender 610 neo) anyways does this put ur BVV3000 back in the driver seat? Have u been pushin it hard? Thanks for the update.

The amp was nice I need a stereo ampwith that power rating to drive 4ea 4 ohm cabs @ 2ohms per side I would have to either buy all new speakers or another amp and slave em. either way its between $2800 to $5000 investment.
So
I am looking at high power stereo bass heads that can handle the load like ampeg 4pro or gk2001rb between $1200 & $1600
I was goung to by another bugera and slave it just don't trust it.
Its up for sale, been working fine, when I swap tube position out the red light goes away for awhile on socket 5 never comes on the socket i swap it to so infinium needs to be improved.
when it works its a beast.
