    [url="http://www.bassemporium.com/newsletters/0609newsletter.html"]http://www.bassemporium.com/newsletters/0609newsletter.html[/url][/quote]

    thanks for that. Very informative.
    I've only ever used DR Hi Beams, and fancy a change. The link has helped me make my mind up!

  2. WOW.
    I've only just read this thread due to being off line so long.
    I'm truley shocked to hear Si is no longer with us.
    I met him before I emigrated when I bought his Peavey BAM combo while he visited Shuker for his next creation.
    A more down to earth and honest guy you could never have met. We kept in touch when I moved and he was genuinley interested in how I was doing over here.
    I will miss his posts on the forum.
    RIP Si.

  3. [quote name='umph' post='739005' date='Feb 8 2010, 03:32 PM']what amp is it? gut feeling would be power valves on the way out.[/quote]

    It's a "Woogie" made by a guy here in Adelside.

    Seller just mailed me to say it's fixed with a new fuse, but I'm gonna check it out. Will let it warm up for a while and see how it goes.

  4. Hi,
    I'm shopping for a valve amp, and went to see a second hand one today.
    Amp played fine for a few seconds, allbeit through a crappy speaker, but the fuse blew.
    The guy didn't have a replacement, so he's gonna replace it and I'll re-visit him later in the week.
    Question is, I'm still interested in the amp, even if it has a fault, as the maker is local to me, but is there a common cause for blowing fuses on an amp?
    I know naff all about the wizzardrey that goes on inside these things, but I don't think it's a basket case, as it played fine before the fuse blew (no buzzing, pops crackles or anything to suggest it was rubbish)
    Cheers in advance.
