misterdistortion Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Happy new year everyone! I was playing my Dingwall NG2 5 string the other day and realised the active signal was cutting out when the bass pot was centre notched and would cut in and out with a loud thump when the knob was turned. This model has a Darkglass preamp and has been an absolute joy to play since I got it this Summer. I haven't had the back panel off yet and the batteries (2) have plenty of life in them. Any thoughts lads and lasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Open the cover. Check every cable - there is probably a paint or copper shielding. Any pot lug or bare cable touching the shielding can cause this thumping. If the pot is defect, it may make this thumping, too. Washing with WD40 or similar may help, but this bass is so new that I doubt this would help. Edited January 1, 2020 by itu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
