Just bought a BP-8 off of ebay a couple of weeks ago. It was sold as untested and no power supply, but i bought one on a chance and it worked. I'm trying to figure it all out. I printed all the cheatsheets and a manual. I have a couple questions. First off it seems kind of quiet, I've been...

I started on guitar about 20 years ago but was always mediocre, and didn’t want to practice like I should. Anyways I started again about 4 years ago playing rhythm guitar for my church mediocrely, but soon after tried bass for the church after they bought me a squier bronco and said could you...

Update I did some research and found the right jack and replaced it. Same problem. So I ordered the $47 board. I called my local Ampeg authorizes service guy. He said to buy the board because he wouldn’t be able to fix it for that price. Waiting for it to arrive they said could be a couple of weeks.

Called Ampeg Customer Service today. Great Convo. The guy said he actually had my amp there and asked for me to hold a few minutes so he could try what I was talking about. He came back and said it shouldn’t be doing that so my choice was to either deal with it or get a new Preamp Circuit Board...

I have a Ampeg BA-112v2 and it makes some sound even with headphones plugged in. I took out the board and did a few experiments. It seems to bleed the aux-in sound a little too. I am not talking very loud I’m just talking about recognizable thumping while I’m practicing. I took the Jack out and...

No MGR around here I don't think. So I decided to bring the Rumble 200 in for the trade/buy and GC offered me $250 for the amp and 20% off the month old "floor model" Rumble stage 800 using a guys friends and family discount. So $410 toward the new one and I paid I think $415 out of pocket...

I started playing on a squire passive bass. Since then (2.5 yrs) I have had 2 active 5 string basses, both Ibanez. A BTB575FM and currently BTB305FMTK. My setup at my church is currently bass>sansamp programmable DI or Eden WTDI preamp>mixer/board via xlr. I've also used the same into my amp and...

I am interested in buying a new amp, probably going to be the Fender Rumble stage to upgrade my 1 yr old Rumble 200v3. It's $799 basically everywhere. I had a little chat at GC the other day on trading my 200 in and they offered me $215 sight unseen. They also said it would take 10% off so that...

I currently have a 1 year old fender rumble 200v3 at home and an Ampeg BA112v2? at my firehouse for late night practice (after the tenor sax practice). Anyways I have recently been meeting up with some people to jam and they recently have started asking me to travel a few places with them to...

I play bass at my church. Sansamp programmable DI into 2 12" QSC E Series PA speakers. My sound seems to come and go, but most of the time when it's not great like today I'm loud and not "defined" and the speakers seem to make certain notes sound like a hum or warbling kind of sound. Think of an...

I'm looking for a good setup guy for my 5 string bass near hartford ct but willing to drive a bit for good service. Anybody have any ideas? I don't know if I trust these in store guys at the local big box music store. Guitars maybe,but not my 5 string. Thanks, Marcus. E Hartford CT
