    Humm from the amp

    Yes this was the case. thanks mate. at this point I will stick to using it at 240V, but will start looking into the house electrical, as I would like to avoid other issues

    Humm from the amp

    its an EBS session60. I checked that the correct fuse was in when switching. but the noise only appeared when moving house (within the US).

    Humm from the amp

    sorry, I am confusing everybody. I was in australia, now moved to the US. the amp is natively accepting 240, but it accepts also 110. I changed the fuse when moved here, and no problem, then I moved house....and the Humm came about. since I have a bunch of transformers around the house...half of...

    Humm from the amp

    yes, I did. the amp accepts both voltages, I had to replace the fuse according to the manual

    Humm from the amp

    yes, 110 to 220. this solves the humm...so that I understand is still a grounding issue or is it signal from the main?

    Humm from the amp

    I dont think it was damaged in the move. Now I noticed that if I use a transformer at the wall outlet the humm is gone. in case this tells anything new. The radio reception is still there if I connect the XLR cable to the amp and the interface, I guess I should change the cable, maybe the...

    Humm from the amp

    the humm is there regardless of the presence of interface, and is only there with the amp on (both through the amp speaker or in the headphones through the interface if connected. The strange thing from my poor understanding was that I could hear a radio like interference through the headphones...

    Humm from the amp

    The setup here is as simple as it gets: bass - amp - interface - headphones (the result is identical if the bass is not connected). I can hear the interference coming through even if the amp is off but the xlr cable is still connected.

    Humm from the amp

    uuuh, that's scary....I never thought of doubting the grounding in the sockets. Anyway, the wiring is there, behind the plugs, I will bring the amp to a different building and check if it fixes it. if this is the case then I assume I will need to look into the grounding of the house. I did not...

    Humm from the amp

    Hi all, it is another one about humming and buzzing amps....but I really do not know where to bang my head on this. I have only one amp, it is a solid state simple cabinet. Since I moved to my new house it humms as I pull up the volume. Regardless of the level of gain, or whether the bass is...

    new p-bass neck

    The size of the neck is identical to the one of a p bass. The only difference is in the screws positions that are 3mm higher. I could buy from all parts but as you say an old bass may be more effective. It is just that Cort 30years ago was pretty inconsistent with the quality as well...some...

    new p-bass neck

    Hi All, I am not sure this is the right section, so in case happy to relocate the thread. I have a Cort GB-PJ whose truss rod snapped. I would like to put on a new P-bass neck. Over the years I pimped the electronics with Seymour Duncan pickups and Aguilar preamp. So it is worth saving...plus...
