neepheid Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Yup, still working. 11 years+ Man, I'll be gutted when this amp decides its time is up. The fan's getting a little noisy, quietens down after it has been on for a while. Might look into replacing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Oh well, the sad but inevitable end is here. A couple of nights ago (at a rehearsal, thankfully not a gig) my RedSub BT5110, which has given me 11 years 8 months of loud fun, has finally broken down. Turned up beyond about half way it starts outputting a very loud, repetitive thump through the speakers, like maybe 4/5 times a second. For a couple of months now it had been getting cranky and overly warm, headphone output stopped working, cut out one time at the end of an (admittedly stupidly hot) gig. Gutted, but it's been a lot of fun for £300. Owes me absolutely nothing. I might look into getting it repaired, but I think I'll be taking this opportunity to refresh my amplification. Needs have changed - the removable head/combo thing I haven't really used for a long time now so I'm not tied to the idea - another cab and a small but powerful head is where I'm thinking of heading. Raise a glass to the RedSub BT5110 - the "Ricky Hatton of bass amps" (quoting some review I read) is dead. RIP. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
