  1. Put some self tapping screws in the lid to secure it better?
  2. Once upon a time, many years ago, we bought a pair of used, Gauss loaded, 18" reflex bins. As we used them over time we noticed that one sounded better than the other. Having a quick look we noticed that one of the speaker cones was wet. Very strange we thought, that's why it sounds weird. Took the speaker out and dried it in the sun and it sounded OK. Next gig it sounded strange again, checked and the speaker was wet again. We bought a hair dryer and stood it in the reflex port to dry out the speaker on every gig and by the end of the gig the speaker was wet again. We asked the good folks who had sold us the speakers if they could throw any like on this wet speaker problem and they said that it must be where their cat had taken a piss inside the cab all over the speaker. Talking to someone about this they said that the salts in the cat's pee attracts moisture and so we would never solve the problem and we never did. I don't know if this explanation is true but it made a lot of sense at the time, I hope that dog's pee dosn't have the same properties or it's new speaker time. Then there's the time that my pet labrador ate the speaker in our guitarist's AC30, but I'll save that for another time.
  3. Up to date again. Any more?
  4. Got this on my iphone, https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/rta/id298839433?mt=8 Quite like it.
  5. Isn't he related to Jack Plug?
  6. Or one of these, http://www.fishman.com/product/fission-bass-powerchord-fx-pedal see and hear, here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDDPlvXToHs Separate effects output for sending the 'guitar' to a separate amp and using the distortion on that. I love mine.
  7. Strangely enough, I never used headphones. I like to share my music with everyone.
  8. Many years ago I used my 2 Marshall Super Bass 100s and 2, 4x12s as a home stereo. If nothing else it was very loud!
  9. Stop 5 minutes before midnight, bar staff also stop serving so that they can celebrate as well. Chimes on Mini disc. Set watch to exact time. Press play on mini disc player at exactly 27 seconds to midnight. Done.
  10. [quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1419797906' post='2642810'] Have a ton on me [/quote] Thank you!
  11. Liked everyone listed so far, lets have some more! Thanks to everyone who's done likewise.
  12. Trying to get 100 likes by New Year's eve so here's my facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/thefab6ts Many likes done, more to follow.
  13. The case looks nice.
  14. Some useful info here, http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=398 Good luck with the gig!
  15. You could get something like this and save a lot of cash. http://www.tooled-up.com/product/twin-16amp-socket-110v-power-tool-transformer-3.3kva/998/?Referrer=googleproductlisting&gclid=CjwKEAiA74qkBRCdrM-6or7U73QSJABCDL9pYugOAkzQHSipC8Om_uZZ1qRE1FWVYgeZ60DWIgK82BoC_Ofw_wcB
  16. Thanks for the link. Amazing! Loved The Lone Ranger and Benny Hill, in fact love it all. Going seriously piss my 8 year old grandaughter off with Let It Go later. She's gone to the theatre to see The Frozen musical and I'll have it cued up and ready to roll for when she gets back. Teach her to make me suffer with the original for months.
  17. We use a minidisc player for intros and outros and only one on each disc, makes playing them a simplicity itself. Put disc in minidisc, press play, it plays and then stops. Anyone can do it and saves you a job.
  18. I started on one of these, [url="http://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/vox/bass/Clubman.php."]http://www.vintagegu...ss/Clubman.php.[/url] It cost me £5 in 1965. Then I had an Egmond B2 shown here. [url="http://www.egmond.se/egmond_se_History.html."]http://www.egmond.se...e_History.html.[/url] Also cost £5. Then progressed to one of these, [url="http://www.tuneyoursound.com/collection/burns-artist-bass-1960."]http://www.tuneyours...tist-bass-1960.[/url] Yet again £5, wish I still had it now. Got one of these next, brand new from Bells Catalogue. [url="http://www.allguitars.com/Guitar/Electric/slides/Wilson%20Sapphire%20Bass.html."]http://www.allguitar...re%20Bass.html.[/url] Left handed of course. All the others had been turned upside down. Surprisingly good bass at the time. Then in 1972 got my first, and last, Fender P, just like this one, [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/251697484583?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0."]http://www.ebay.co.u...f14=108&ff19=0.[/url] Mine only cost £220 though.
  19. Prefer the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ziricote myself.[/font][/color]
  20. Why not record a gig then play it back to him and ask what he's actually playing.
  21. Found the same thing with a Gramma Pad. I now only use it when it's needed.
  22. Why not build in both and have them switchable, then you'll have the best of both worlds and also the option of bypassing the EQ altogether.
  23. If I remember correctly, Session used these in their amps, http://www.ilpelectronics.com/amplifiers/audio.asp
  24. My guess would be a wire has fallen off. Have a look and see if any wires are not attached of if one of the wires is touching an earth.
