[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1411757201' post='2562611'] Liking my current cabs VERY much, surprisingly more than the B/F S12V I used for 18 months. Shame the Carvin overhangs a bit [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0644_zpsdde44cfc.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] I've recently been stacking my MB 2 x 10"s vertically and wishing I had done it earlier. Don't know if it sounds any different out front to the punters but it's certainly better for me, getting some sound up closer to the ears. Nice set up Karl.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411745882' post='2562512'] Oh that`s really bad. Having seen many suffer with this, including close relatives, my sympathies are with not just Malcolm, but his family and the band. It`s a rotten didease/condition that doens`t just affect the actual sufferer. [/quote] So right Lozz.

Enjoying this

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1411723037' post='2562221'] TBH I never bother with sound samples as all they show is how the bass sounds when the person selling it plays it through their rig/recording set up. I know from personal experience that it will sound nothing like that when I play through my rig. [/quote] Agreed but if people ask, then it's better to be obliging.

Enjoy the gig, I'm sure it will sound superb and be a pleasure to play.

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1411642437' post='2561417'] If you look at the connections on the offending speaker, the driver/horn are connected to HF1 and HF3, whereas on the OK one it is HF1 and HF2. Still reckon John could be right, a new Speakon socket from Audiospares and then hopefully it can all go back as it should be. [/quote] I thought it might be that but swapping them over made no difference. Thanks though.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1411640686' post='2561386'] Hi Gary, The only thing I can suggest is that the metal contact inside the Speakon has moved/broken/fallen out & I'd say a replacement socket will most likely fix it! Cheerz, John [/quote] It is working though John, just not as loud as when using the other input.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1411543926' post='2560437'] That sounds suspiciously like a cunning plan. [/quote] Ian, I had the soldering iron out this morning for another job, so thought I might as try your suggestion on that capacitor. Unsoldered the leg to the tag. The result being no sound at all from that input, the other still worked as it should. I'm a bit stumped really

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1411629509' post='2561235'] Another pic from a recent festival we played. [attachment=172518:10262140_1503092273271707_2670977579732010704_n.jpg] [/quote] You went and nodded off there and missed your bass solo Dave

He's been unwell for a while I believe, i don't know what with though.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1411597290' post='2561152'] You guys seem so young, well most of the pics are of young guys.Where are the pics of my 60 plus brothers? [/quote] Blue go back a few pics and you will find this old codger Technically I'm not quite one of your 60+ brothers, though post gig I think I feel like one of the 70+ brothers.

Good man Mark. Hope young Discreet sticks with it.

That is a beaut. Love the roasted maple. Worth the wait by the looks of it.

The BC'er I purchased it from didn't tell me about any "improvements", so don't know the answer to that Stoo.

My wife would say " procrastinating again"

What a splendid wife and instrument.

I'll join in with a few shots [url="https://flic.kr/p/p49vkT"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/pkmq3T"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/p48Jxu"][/url]

[quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1411482304' post='2559907'] I was thinking of getting a Sandberg decal put on this, do you think it looks the part? [url="http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad50/vinnybassist/soundcheck_zps94d87c5e.jpg"]http://i920.photobuc...zps94d87c5e.jpg[/url] [/quote] Like your style.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1411502336' post='2560217'] Ah. You know that saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words'? The first picture shows a PCB that has been played with by someone. The soldering on CN2 isn't great, the capacitor near the R1 label has had the hotglue scraped away and that capacitor strapped onto the back of CN2 doesn't look like it was originally there. I'd be inclined to desolder one leg of that red capacitor and see what happens. [/quote] Thanks Ian. I wonder why the capacitor was added. Anyway, I will do as you suggest, although will leave it until after this weekends gig. Then if I get any bother, there will be a little more time for me to sort it before the next gig.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411416335' post='2559393'] Nah, all gone now Russ, it`s a pale imitation of itself now, is The White Hart. Shame, I spent many a night (and shilling) in there. I suppose mine is more pitbull chewing wasp Gary, I look daft & simple most of the time, but sometimes needs can bring a change. To be honest, I think the bolivian marching powder is more of an issue in there. [/quote] Have to agree with you on the marching powder.

Great post Fumps. On a morning that finds me in a mentally glum place, you have cheered me up.

I[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1411341025' post='2558644'] Reflow the solder joints to make totally sure they're good. If that doesn't fix it then it's going to be a replacement socket. HTH [/quote] Ian I've just been having another look and listen. The faulty socket is actually working but is much quieter than the other one. No crackling or cutting in and out, it just doesn't put out anywhere near the volume of the other input. I've actually got two of these cabs, so I thought I would look under the hood of the other one, to get a comparison. Didn't help much as the panel in the other has one less component. Take a look at the pics for a better idea. The first pic shows the panel in the cab with the fault. The second pic is just for a comparison and is from my other cab which is all functioning as it should. [url="https://flic.kr/p/p4dJvT"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/p4cGwB"][/url]
