    Can you try bypassing the crossover, taking the speakers wires straight to a jack socket. Try the cab like this and if it works OK then it is the crossover and a repair or replacement is needed. You may however like the sound of the cab without the crossover in which case just make the bodge permanent.

    Also just covering belt & b*lls. The bass doesn't sit flat though as large tum gets in the way but I've got used to it. Yes, the large tum and my bass not sitting flat.

    PP3 across the speaker terminals of each speaker is the first thing to do to check that the speakers are OK. Disconnect the wires first. If the speaker gives a nice thunk then it's OK. No sound then no speaker.

    Set the multimeter to ohms. One probe on the earth pin on the plug and the other probe to a bare bit of the amp chassis or jack socket nut and you should get a reading this means that the earth is good. No reading and the earth is bad.

    I don't like the look of Maple necks but I love the look of Rosewood and Ebony. My favourite is a lacquered Rosewood fretboard, love it.

    One of these, http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/selmer/speakers/spk15.html. A match made in heaven. I used a a pair of these with a metal clad T & B 100 in 1968, sounded wonderful. Mine just had Goodmans 18s in them though.

    I just play it until I remember it. Then learn the lyrics on top of that. I find that learning both helps a lot when it comes to arrangements. Once I've played it live once, it normally stays there and becomes second nature. The problems come when I have to think about it then I forget the lot.

    Interestingly, our guitarist has recently received his army pension and instead of doing the sensible thing, like you are and buying his dream instrument, it seems that he's buying as many cheap guitars as he can. So far he's got about 20 and they're all stored in his attic as she who must be obeyed mustn't know that he's been spending money. We've never seen them but we hear about them all the time.

    Different tack here. Try one of these, http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BDI21.aspx, I think it will get you where you want to go. Nothing wrong with EMGs either in my opinion. They're great pickups.

    If you get rid of it now you'll probably never afford to replace it. I'd keep it and get rid of the cheaper one.

    Have you thought of going down the DIY route? Bill's T39s are well worth a look and build. Martin quality at Behringer prices. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/T39.html

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Still for sale or thinking about it, trades could be interesting. What you got?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’ve decided that my left handed Danelectro DC bass has to go.

    What they said. One p/u to each side then it's either p/u or both.

    I've got a pair of these, http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/lighting/stage/prolight-equinox-mega-bar-system, controlled by one of these, http://www.thomann.de/gb/botex_dc2448_light_operator.htm, and it's fantastic. Our lighting guy does a really great job manually controlling the desk but you can also use it automatically with all the presets and chases. Recommended. The lights also come with a footswitch controller so you don't actually need a DMX controller but it does make for a more versatile light show.

    Mine cost £220 new in 1972. Would have been £200 but it was an extra 10% for left handed. It would also have been en extra 10% for a colour instead of sunburst.
