Removing cloth grill from Barefaced Big Baby T

[countjodius]

Hi all,

My Big Baby T has developed a sort of rattle on certain notes and sounds like a damaged driver or lose part. I'd need to remove the grill to get a look, and was wondering if anyone has advice for doing this on this generation of Barefaced? Gentle "jimmying" in the corner resulted in a cracking noise, and I'm worried that this is the wood and not the velcro!

Any help much appreciated. I have contacted Alex and BF but this is going on 2 weeks with no response (customer service thumbs down!).

The noise is most likely the Velcro. It is very strong stuff.

It will lift off with gentle persuasion.

Regarding the rattle, have you checked the handle? They can sometimes rattle and it doesn't sound as if it comes from them... but then you grab them and it stops. If you haven't checked. worth trying before removing parts...

Thanks guys. P-Zarn was kind enough to forward me Barefaced's own guide for removal. Big up the Basschat community as always!

Yeah definitely coming from the mid driver by the sounds of it. The handle seems fine, I tighten the corner bracket screws regularly and there are not enough feet left on it to rattle haha!
