Uberkate Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have a Sansamp DI Bass Driver pedal that doesn't seem to work any more. It doesn't 'click on'. Is it worth selling for spares/repairs/parts? It's an expensive and popular bit of kit so I don't want just chuck it out if all it needs is for someone with the know-how to fix it. Oh, and it's not the battery!

rmorris Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Have you made any enquiries about getting it fixed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sounds like it might be a relatively cheap fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Could be a poor solder connection with the latching footswitch, if that's all or even if the switch itself needs replacing, then a repair would be pretty inexpensive. NB: A squirt of switch cleaner into it wouldn't do any harm either. Edited July 25, 2014 by HowieBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yes. ^ ^ ^ Sounds like a switch replacement job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) These are hard switches to replace, tons of unsoldering is needed to get the board out and jack sockets out, absolute headache. It's a weird switch too, but is worth taking it apart as much as you can...there is a washer type thing that has a grip to keep the switch in place, sounds like that has come loose.

Uberkate Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks for all the replies - tbh I'm not going to get involved with taking it apart and trying to fix it as I can pretty much guarantee I won't be able to. For the amount that I play bass at the moment, and the fact that I have bought another (budget) driver, I don't think it's worth the effort for my personal purposes. But from the replies it seems like it might be worth a go of selling it. I just wanted to know whether it was a 'lost cause' or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I would of thought it would cost 10 or fifteen quid to get it fixed may be worth getting it repaired as it is not worth much money as a non runner so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
