That's a good question I'm not sure which overdrive its based off, you may well be right. £159 is very decent in my opinion

Recent board build with some new additions. Peterson Strobostomp Mini Origin Effects Cali76 compact bass Boss OC2 Rosenberg LDP CB/OD Any other Rodenberg users out there?

Spoke to PMT today and they said they are going to replace it. The guys in the Cambridge store are brilliant!

I know what you mean and I do see your point but as the bass was brand new you would hope for a neck that is nice and smooth.

I've recently purchased a new player plus jazz V from PMT. When it arrived i did a couple of gigs with it which were fine, I then took it to Ian at guitarworks.co.uk (who is awesome by the way) to do a full set up on the bass as the action was a bit high for my liking. He discovered an indent in the neck around the 10th fret which you can definitely feel, almost as if there was a chip and they sanded too much material off. Annoyingly its the sort of thing that once you feel it you can't unfeel it. My returns period with PMT has now passed so i'm going to try and return it under warranty. What should I do? Lewis

In the end yes! They let me put the value of the amp towards my new Kemper

The 410 HLF was used standalone so that wasn't the problem

This +1 PMT have been very nice about it and called me yesterday. I'm not sure about Lemon Law to be honest. Sometimes things just break when they are being gigged hard regularly.

+1 for your insight I'll make sure to watch out for that in the future, lets see if i get a new head!

That's weird as the head has min 2ohm printed on it above the speaker output and the manual that was sent with mine says 2 ohm in it. They might have changed it since I purchased it because that manual is from 2022 and I purchased it in Sep 21. Anyway it's only been used with 2 cabs a couple of times and at least one of the cabs was 8 ohm so it wouldn't have gone down to 2.

It's not at all, see the screenshot of the manual attached. Trust me the head has been misbehaving through many cabs over a period of time. It's not an isolated thing.

No it auto selects it on the head.

Tsunami pro Speakon cables which have neutrik or a Klotz Jack-Jack speaker cable. I've used the head with a range of speaker cables and it's been the same result.

It may well have been. As the head can handle anything down to 2ohm it shouldn't matter to much

I spoke to them today and the lad I spoke to is going to give me a call on Monday to see what they can do as he has to talk to his returns manager.

It was an Ampeg 410HLF rated at 8ohms. I am certain that it wasn't the cab because the head has been misbehaving with a range of cabs.

No haha! That would be a big ask! The amp had blown so I went directly into a DI box

Having an amp blow up on stage is rare and they always seem to go at the worst time. Picture the scene, 3000 people festival today in Hertfordshire and I'm playing with a brand new Kylie Tribute act and my Darkglass AO500 starts losing volume. It's been doing this before where the volume would fluctuate a bit so I sent it back to PMT who said it was fine and nothing needed to be done... Second to last song final chords and pop. Burning smell. Shout-out to my friend Alex on sound who helped me with a DI. Get the amp home and plug it in and there is the most awful, loud note coming out the speaker out and a bad burning smell. What should I do next? I have sadly lost all confidence in the head now so I was going to ask PMT to refund it. I only bought it in Sep 21. Any thoughts/advice appreciated

Andy has been second to none throughout the transaction. I sold a TC Electronic BC208 to him and throughout the process communication was prompt and he was completely transparent. Top Bloke
