I bought a really nice used Carvin BX 700 on here a while back. Well, it was nice looking, anyway. The seller said it was 100% functional. It was not. Later on, I found a thread where the seller spoke of having his tech 'solder some connectors' I did not know that it had issues once, or even then. I should've returned it. When I plugged it in, It made a 'whistling' sound, similar to what my old SVT made when a 12AX7 went bad. No output other than that. So, I ordered a new tube, installed it, and the amp seemed to work. Took it to a gig. Good thing I had my backup. I took it to a supposedly qualified tech here in Reno, and he didn't do a thing. He said there was nothing wrong with it. Well, there certainly is. I love my BX500, and BX 1500 heads. I'd love to get it working.
Sorry if this is a repeat post, but there must be someone familiar with repairing these amps out there.
