tom1946 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi, anyone know where I can get a Markbass amp LM3 repaired around Teesside please? It crackles and sounds a bit distorted. Thanks. Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Real Electronics in Sheffield are the authorised service agents, but the repairs (depending on the issue) are generally more than the cost of a 2nd hand LM head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Check out local music groups on social media and ask for amp repair recommendations. I've had a few repairs done by local electronics engineers who work out of their garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably needs pots cleaning and a bit of a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just needs a volume pot, you can't buy them though. It only crackles when moving the volume, if i fiddle with it I can get it to stop for a minute then it starts up again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c60 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Or maybe you can...... https://shop.audiotronic.fr/en/markbass/270-a50k-potentiometer-for-markbass-amplifiers.html And apparently if you remove the knob, there's a tiny hole which you can spray contact cleaner into, although some people don't recommend it. However, I've just tried to pull the knob off mine and it's super tight so I can't check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
