Hi All,
Sorry to bring up the rattle scenario once again as I know it’s been discussed a great deal here already, however, I was wondering, is there anything that can be done at home to fix the problem?
About 3 weeks ago I decided to buy a Class 5 and my first impressions were that it is a fantastic amp, loud albeit, but with a great sound. Up until today I was rattle free, however, when I turned the amp on the dreaded rattle started to occur, particularly on the G and A notes on the fifth string.
Anyway, I was wondering is there anything I could do that will fix the rattle? I read on the gearpage that to fix the rattle all that’s needed is to tighten or remove altogether the metal spring tube retainer. Does this work, and if so, is it easy to do, or is my best bet simply trying to return the amp and hopefully get another rattle free one?
Sorry for the long post but after having the amp for three weeks, and really loving it, especially now the speaker is starting to smooth out, it was a bit disappointing for the rattle to start now, as i thought after three weeks of playing rattle free, i had bought one that was immune from the rattle.
