Sign in to disble this ad
Hey I got this Carvin pro bass 200 and the speaker was fine the 5 times at the shop, played at home today no issues, regular volume, never past half. Anyways, it suddenly started making a crackle sound on every note, more like distortion a bit, left then came home and it stopped, then started again and wont stop. ????????? What should I look for?

| | | | That stuff seems good, thanks you guys, but check it out. I didnt notice this at first, but then saw along one side of the dome of the speaker, its separated from the cone, just ungluing I guess, it comes and goes, if it comes back and I hold my finger with a little pressure in that spot the noise stops. So now what??????
Thanks a lot for helping, and being cool about it.

You do eat or sleep ocassionally?  .

FYI, this is meaningless in the context of power output. |
