Tech Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Apologies to the mods if there's already a thread on this, have done a quick search and couldn't find anything. I'm after an amp that's gonna be buzz-free when plugged in. I'm currently using a Trace head with lovely tone but now I'm playing more weddings etc rather than pubs and clubs, the hum from the amp is becoming problematic. Any amps that are especially noiseless, or amps to avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Make sure the fault is the amp and not the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Pretty much all amps should not make noise when they are working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just so it's mentioned: Is it only a hum, or is there a nosiy fan as well? Silent fans and fan regulators work wonders. Good luck! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks for the help guys. The hum sounds electrical, I think there is a fan in there but it's pretty silent. I never even considered the amp might just need servicing. Will take it in somewhere and see what they can do. Cheers again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
