He was recommended by the closest music store to me, which is still about a 40 min drive, and vouched for by the guitar player who owns the Marshall I mentioned upthread. He is not an authorized service center that I am aware of. I’m in pretty remote area, nothing resembling a big city thats not...

Update: paraphrased /best i can make out my scrawled notes: Outlet section needs to be rebuilt some are running hot some are running cold + three weak tubes so needs a new matched set. gonna be between 400-500 depending on how it goes. 2-3 weeks, needs to order parts Gave him the greenlight...

With my apologies to the kind people who advised different diagnostics which i ran out of time to explore (effects loop, Marshall, etc) the old boy is over in the hands of the tech now. He had capacity to do it by Thursday but alas i cant grab til Friday. I will keep the thread updated. Thanks...

Adding the setting the bias thread to my evening reading list, thanks. I wont be messing w/ anything like that but I appreciate the knowledge. Kept the gain "in check" and the looper at about 40% strength or so and kept the peak light off. One area where my intuition was right at least...

Fascinating response and gives me a lot to read up on. I really appreciate you taking the time to help. I picked up on using those as replacement drivers based on lurking through other peoples discussions about the 410HE so, unfortunately, I cannot show my work and my experts may NOT be...

You are correct. My mistake. I updated the name of the YT videos but it looks like the window to edit the OP is closed. Maybe I can contact moderation for an update so the thread remains useful as a reference. Apologies for my confusing error.

I have a late 90s fender squire I got as a teenager that wont win any pageants but it works and confirms the issue persists across both instruments at least. I sense the R&D is not an ideal instrument if you are only going to have one....- and I will spare you the story of how i ended up with...

Yes. Well, not mine precisely... but I have access to a Marshall JCM 2000. I believe that I can run that from the 8ohm out into the 410 at a low volume to check the speakers and not risk damage but would need to read a bit more before I would take the plunge and of course need the JCMs owner to...

Thanks. Reading up on this now, seems a likely culprit but a bit out of my paygrade. I will continue to read for the evening and consider further discussions here, but if it still seems likely tomorrow I will get back on the horn in the morning with my "doesnt do speaker" tech to ask about...

Sorry. I updated the orig post with that, my bad. The only bass head I have is an SVT3 Pro. I do not own a combo anymore (once long ago I had a small fender practice amp) The cab was used as backline for punk bands during a few years of wild youth, so despite the low hours I put on it, it is...

Thanks for response. Bass is Active, put in new battery before test. Unfortunately the tech declined to even look at it (or said "i don't do speakers..." rather curtly, to be more accurate) and I am fairly remote here so not a lot of options (meaning I am not aware of any other tech within...

Hello TB folks. I am a fresh faced member so I hope I am not violating a policy to immediately ask for help. I reviewed the rules and believe this is ok but if not, moderation can adjust as needed. Long story short: Bought an ampeg 410 cab 20(?) years ago and it sat for most of that time. Im...

Hello all. I have come across TB a few times when doing random google searches but just this year, afger 20 years of being a "bass player", I have decided to try to become a BASS PLAYER. Hope this makes sense =) Looking to learn a lot here... starting with the thread I am about to make about my...
