  3. Anyone reading this thread in/close to Sheffield? My band are playing at firth park wmc tonight....and we just happen to be a soul band, edging more toward the stax Philly sound than Motown (although we play my girl)! I've posted the gig info in the gig section, so mods please feel free to remove this...but if anyone is close by and at a loose end tonight, it's a great venue and we put on a good show!
  4. For the best in stax/Atlantic (and a bit of Motown), catch us at firth park wmc Sheffield tonight from 8:15 :-)
  5. If you like Stax/Atlantic/Otis Redding kinda stuff and a 3-piece brass section and you aren't too far from Chesterfield (that's a lot of ifs, I know), then that's where we will be on 19th Dec.
  6. Haha! Cheers dad! Father in law is retired so it will give him something to do if nothing else :-) Now, back to the sunbathing and all inclusive bar :-)
  7. Good advice. I've got the schematics for it, so I will open it up again and trace the signal path (when it's playing up) and see what I (and my father in law who is a bit of an electronics buff) can one up with. I'm not in a particular rush or have a particular need for the amp, but it's just an annoyance that it's beating me! I will report any findings.
  8. Update! I write this from holiday (in Morocco, it's gorgeous!). I took the amp to rehearsal last Friday; it worked perfectly for 15 mins then the output to the speakers just stopped working again. So it's not dirty Jack barrel contacts, it's not the lead, it's not s dry joint, it's nothing that I can see that's loose....Aaagh! Any further ideas chaps. I'm sure that when I get home and try it, it will work for 15 mins again, then do the same thing. It's doing my head in!
  9. Now there's an idea! I do have a futon in the back of my van that I could stick on stage next gig....
  10. Not quite! It had been cutting out at 'home practice' volume levels though previously, so I'm hoping that the fact it hasn't cut out since I cleaned the contacts is a good sign. Practice later in the week will be the real test. Thank you for all the advice given on here.
  11. If you like Stax/Atlantic/Otis Redding kinda stuff and a 3-piece brass section and you aren't too far from Rotherham (that's a lot of ifs, I know), then that's where we will be on Saturday!
