    Need help with Hartke 3500 - dirty pot?

    I own one that has made this static noise , especially when you first turn it on, ever since it was new. Nothing i've done has solved it. One I haven't tried is an AC line filter, like a furmen line conditioner.

    Ashdown Little Giant 1000Watt - any good?

    Hey i'm also thinking about this amp and i'm wondering what cabs are being used with this. I do some outdoor patio gigs with two screaming guitars and a madman on sticks. I could use the power but not sure what cabs to put with it.

    Good amp techs!

    C'Mon! Someone in Oklahoma please post a recomendation. I've had a couple of problems but really nobody to trust. The tech I trusted around here passed away 2 years ago so... I let a "friend" who works on computers and other electronics work on a practice combo. Now it's completely...

    Dealing with G&L Tech

    Well it took a while but I finally recieved an answer from G&L. About 2 1/2 months after sending my bass in for repair, I got an email saying that they finally got to my bass and decided not to even try to fix it. ??? So they sent me a new bass! Oh well, i'm glad to get it settled, sort of. I...

    Dealing with G&L Tech

    Okay, sorry I play bass, not keyboard! Really, i've done a few electronic repairs but not sure I would want to tackle this. Can you draw this out simple like for me and e-mail it. I might still get a tech to do it. Is this for static protection? So how do you think my pre-amp got blown, if...

    Dealing with G&L Tech

    I bought a L2500 in Oct. '08 and after 4 months the preamp went out on it. ( at least thats what I believe ) Since the initial warranty of purchase was up ( 3 Months ) , I shipped it back to G&L for troubleshooting and determining if its under warranty. My question is... has anyone here dealt...

    New L2500 Probs

    Thanks Yeah I can still play it and thats good since I just joined a band. Unfortunately sounds like i'm gonna have to give it up for a while. I'll sneak a couple of dates in before sending it off. Also i'm past the 45 day warranty from where I bought it so I have one option warranty wise...

    New L2500 Probs

    Thanks first off for responding! Yeah, it still works in passive. EQ also. Wow if it is the pre amp I guess I got a lemon. At least I hope its a fluke cause it didnt last very long. I played it about 10 times. BTW Yeah when I played with the battery the amp volume was @ 2, and it was my old...
