The ground wire inside the bass is loose, not connect, or not connected correctly. Make sure it goes to the CASINGS of all the kobs, the switches, if any, the negative side of the plug socket, and under the bridge. All of these surfaces should be grounded together, the connection under the bridge is necessary to keep from looping the ground with your hands.

SOURCE: My bass buzzes when im trying to record. I plug it

The cause is a lack of proper earth grounding in the 8 track so your jack-lead is acting like a radio aerial. The solution is simple - buy a Direct Injection (DI) box to place between the guitar and recorder.

SOURCE: hey my ax260 strings rattle

Strings "rattling" is usually guitar setup. This has to do with string height and POSSIBLY the neck truss rod. For the latter, have a guitar shop set it up for you. Hum from touching a knob is likely a broken ground wire in the cavity of the guitar. Also view videos on YouTube search "Guitar setup"

SOURCE: After being played for about 5-10 minutes speaker

There are so many things that go wrong with amps. That isn't too much of detail to really say what could be wrong with it. Just take simple steps such as try a new cable. It could also be your bass. Try plugging your bass into another amp and see if it kicks out. If it kicks out, then take the pick guard off and make sure all the wires are properly welded and in tact. If the bass DOES work in another amp with a different cable.


Inspect the amplifier tubes if the amplifier sounds weak or muddy. Amplifier tubes are fragile and may go bad at anytime. Bad or weak tubes will cause the amplifier to be weak, and the tone to become muddy or overly distorted. Sometimes the tubes become loose and fall out of their tube sockets. Look in the back of the amplifier and examine the tubes. Make sure all the tubes are in their tube sockets. Healthy tubes will glow with a soft amber/orange color. Weak tubes emit a bluish/purple color and overpowered tubes are an intense reddish color. If the tube is not glowing, it is broken or burnt out. Replace broken or weak tubes.

Inspect the speaker cables and wires in the amplifier. A loose speaker cable may also be responsible for the amplifier not working. Make sure the speaker cable is plugged in to the amplifier and that the speaker cable is firmly connected to the speakers in the amplifier.

Clean the volume and tone pots on the guitar if the guitar is producing a scratchy sound or no sound when manipulating the volume and tone controls. The guitar pots need to be cleaned periodically because of the sweat, grime and debris that builds up in them. The contamination in unclean pots is what produces the irritating scratchy sound. Pull off the volume and tone tops and spray contact cleaner into the pots. Move the volume and tone controls back and forth to allow the contact cleaner to penetrate more effectively.


Clean the volume and tone pots on the amplifier with contact cleaner. The pots on the amplifier also need to be cleaned. Dirty pots on the amp cause scratchy and irritating noises. Remove the knobs and spray the pots with contact cleaner. Replace the knobs.

then i'd send it to your local music store and try to get it repaired (thats if it's a valuable amp). The only thing you can do is send it into a professional.



Good luck and take care..

My Marshall MB4410 Bass Amp has issues when pulling strings when slapping

A silly suggestion is to plug in a different guitar and see if the problem still happens. Have you checked the link your using to connect to the amp? For example is it a faulty lead, a loose jack plug on the end of the lead or an intermittent signal from a wireless connection? You could also check the pickups on the actual bass guitar.
Pick ups don't often cause issues but they can become faulty because of age, corrosion, short circuits and if they're badly fitted.

Fret buzz only on E string. Adjusted truss and action, and still buzz. Some relief when I turn bass knob higher than the rest

This sounds like a worn nut groove. The string is sitting too low. Does the buzz happen all the way up the neck or just on open string?

They come as a set of 6, with three for the treble and 3 for the bass... MAKE sure you have the correct ones for the bass as they will have three with larger holes to accomodate the larger strings.

The problem I have with my music man bongo bass 4 strings,,, is that the string 4 at fret 5 sounds very strange as making waves, but it sounds good with the other tones, on the other strings when I play...

Check first it is not hitting or touching the next few frets, in case they are high. Or maybe the 5th fret is low. You could raise the action and/or adjust the neck relief to test this.

If it is not a fret problem, it may be a real dead spot on your bass. If so, it would be regardless of the pickup used and could be heard acoustically if you could hear notes that low easily. Most guitars have notes on the fretboard somwhere that are a little dead. It is due to destructive interference and there is not much that can be done. To happen at the 5th fret is unusual though. Make sure the string is wound properly around the head, and that nothing is loose and actually moving/buzzing when you play the note.
Other causes can be a loose fret, loose bridge parts or a loose neck joint.

How do you use the automatic tuner

Hi, you have to clip it to the part where the keys are and turn the tuner on and which ever strig you will play will be indicated on the tuner and will tell you if it is flat or sharp, they you adjust your string by turning your key clockwise or conterclockwise. If you're to sharp don't forget to go a litte lower then bring it back to the right note. I hope it will help you. Mike

Line 6 Spider III 15W- My Bass and Drive knobs arnt working... my mid and treble seems to be fine plus all my channels and effects but just those two knobs...and its buggin the **** out of me.... any...

resolder the three legs of the pots back down to the pcb. usually the treble feeds the bass, then from bass to mid then to ground. so if treble and mid are working its hard to imagine why the bass wouldnt be working. i would try to resolder, as you might have cold solder joints. keep it unplugged, pull off the knobs, open it up, remove the pcb screws and pull/flip out the pcb and resolder all of the pots.
