Help???
Rumble 350 head's volume knob is getting annoyingly scratchy.
I tried to turn it over and over
but no luck still scratchy.
should I open it up and shoot a little deoxit in the pot?
I'm all ears for any suggestions

I've been cleaning up the used Rumble 350 head and 112 cab rig I bought - I was actually going to put a cloth grill on it. But then I figured why not try and restore the metal grill.
After some cleaning and a little paint now it looks like new.
Just for fun I figured I try my Daughter's Red mini Bass in it.
Wow sounded really great. My son has a Jazz bass but it is not here at the moment.
Just have to deal with the pesky scratchy volume control....

We've had reports both ways on this. Some say the pots are sealed and don't respond to cleaning. Others say they successfully cleaned theirs. A very knowledgeable and respected technical consultant has recommended CAIG Deoxit only be used, as most so-called contact cleaners simply don't work, and WD-40 has no place near electronics. Then, too, there are many warnings against spraying too much and causing other problems.
Good luck.

Pssst.Little known fact: G-Dog has stock in CAIG Deoxit.
(not really)
(AFAIK)
I wish, Gone! Me and hands-on electronics don't git along any better'n me and mechanical stuff. I mean, I can drive a car very well and I can use personal computers pretty good, but I cain't fix the insides of either one of 'em to save my life! (In fact, PC operating systems hate me, so I've learned lotsa tips & tricks there.)Ashley, it is a certain "elder equine" TBer who makes that recommendation.

This has been really good stuff! Undoubtedly, a lifetime supply for me. Best stuff ever if you play Funky bass.
Inside the Rumble 350 (only 24 small screws including the 4 fan screws to get cover off)
If you look at the far right pot (vol) there is a little hole on the wiper case where you can
shoot some Deoxit. I will carefully cover surrounding area with paper towel pieces and do a quick short shot or 2 of the deoxit directly into hole and then move wiper quit a few times and see if the problem is resolved.

Three seems a good minimum. Of course, equality affords them similar choices.Two's fine except when it comes to wives
DeOxIt is all I will use or recommend.
Just tested and the deoxit worked perfectly. Back in smooth operating service.
For those of us REALLY stupid, can you explain why turning the gain up bumped up your DI volume? Wouldn't it ALSO bump up the amp speaker output? I thought your problem was you wanted X speaker volume but x + 5 house.
Likewise. Purchasing a second(since I have my 200c)will have to wait since I just sprung for another bass, though.
