Jenny_Innie Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Bit of a problem. My TC RH750 ....... God I luuuurve it ........ has an issue. I got it out of its official TC gigbag the other day and two of the knobs were missing. I nearly died. But ..... they was both at the bottom of the bag. Sick! Happened again next time I used it. I've had a look at the knobs - and there's nothing wrong with them. No cracks or damage or anything - and the internal bit look okay. But they slip off well too easily, and I will lose one of them one day. What do I do? A dab of glue? What kind? It's still under warranty from Andertons, but I don't get I need to go that far for this issue.
Andytre Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I wrap little but of electrical tape around the pot shaft, that makes the knobs squeeze on a bit tighter, usually solves the problem and you can get them off with a bit more of a pull in the future
Dad3353 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Same as above, but simply using paper (newspaper, A4, Rizla; any paper will do...) wrapped around the shaft. It doesn't take much, costs very little (nowt, really..!) and is reversible. What's not to like (except the hassle of having to do it, I'll grant...). Good luck with it.
chris_b Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Which way are you putting the amp in the bag? Front first or back first?
Lozz196 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Apparently a regular occurrence on these - as others above have said, good few ways to deal with it.

Dad3353 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Have you checked for elves, or goblins..? They can become mischievous if bored (especially goblins, who are naturally spiteful souls...). Put a couple of small Rubik's cubes in with the amp, maybe..?

Muppet Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Jennie, send a quick email to TC support. They have some new redesigned ones that fit better and are more solid. They'll send you some for free and theyll arrive in double time in my experience. Steve
Muppet Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Also I load mine in with the handle pointing up and the knobs facing the inner sleeve that the footswitch fits in.

Steve [/quote] +1 I emailed them just before xmas to enquire where I could buy a replacement volume knob and shift button, 2 days later a full set of knobs and full set of buttons arrived in the post, free of charge. They accept that the earlier ones weren't great and will replace them for free.

I haven't noticed this problem on my RH750 yet (but I've only had it less than a week!). I'll keep a eye open for my knobs dropping off now...

Muppet Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 In addition, on the earlier models the tiny buttons with the lights inside them had a tendency to crack. TC will send you these too FOC and they're pretty simple to replace.

milesBguitar Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Had this problem with my RH450 too, had three drop off at our gig at the weekend. Already replaced 5 in the past. Good news about TC upgrading them

Sorry you didn't like it, but if you spend a bit of time around Basschat you will see that this type of puerile "humour" is quite widespread. Many of us "old men" actually enjoy it. Maybe "BassTeenGirlChat" would be more appealing to you? You seem to make quite a few disparaging remarks regarding the age and gender bias of the membership of this site after all. Word.

[/quote] I just don't need it. If you're young and female, you go through a barrage of so called "puerile humour" everywhere you go. If you could walk in our shoes on a Friday night when you can't walk through a town centre without all kinds of lewd suggestions being hurled at you and disgusting people blocking your path unless you "go on give us a kiss" - you might understand. It means that I can't go out on my own at night without being scared. How would you feel? What about your first ever bass gig and constantly being told by drunks to get your **** out. That's puerile humour isn't it? It's really hard and has reduced me to tears a number of times. If I provoke any sexual innuendo, then fair enough. But I don't. Have a look at the following. This has a very familiar ring to it. Could be Bournemouth on a Saturday night. And then maybe people should think before they think puerile humour is appropriate.
