09/10/24 - Big Baby 2 - UK
Hi,
I have a Big Baby 2 and it seems to have started distorting on the low notes ( C on the 3rd string downwards).
I've read through your troubleshooting guide and I've taken all the steps suggested re: different leads, basses etc but the problem is consistent. As far as I can tell the sound is coming from the centre of the speaker cone. Adjusting the tweeter appears to make no difference. I have had the cabinet for a few years and it has been used 2 or 3 times a month but has never been pushed hard- the biggest amp I use is 300watts.
Can you help? Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Sorry to hear about this! It looks like your cab was purchased by Andertons in mid 2020 so it's out of warranty but we can sell you a replacement speaker which will solve the problem. It doesn't sound like you've blown it but it's had far too many hours of use to be a manufacturing fault in the normal sense - a bad glue joint on a dustcap is usually found in final QC here or goes on the first few gigs. Here's the link to the replacement driver:

Hope it was sounding good until this happened!
Best regards,

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the prompt reply and I was obviously aware that it was out of warranty - I think I was just hoping you'd send me magic spell to fix it!
It is a little bit disappointing to have to replace the speaker on such an expensive item given the amount of use I've had out of it , but these things happen and I think your offer is very reasonable in the circumstances.
I'll order the replacement now - is there anything I need to know about removing the old one and fitting the new one?
Thanks for your help and yes, it was sounding very good before the problem arise!
Thanks
Andy
