Sold my old Status a few days afterwards and won a case of old leads!!!

No reply from Shroeder as yet, any other clever bods have any idea?

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1475404066' post='3145611'] Best of luck, I'm sure he will get you sorted in no time. [/quote] Email sent!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1475394851' post='3145519'] When I was trying to sort some electrical faults on a Shroeder, I contacted Jorg Schroeder through the website, he replied very promptly and was very helpful. [/quote] I'll give that a try!!

Good man!!!

Now that was a lovely thing to wake up to on a rainy Sunday morning!

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1475367114' post='3145459'] Hmmm...odd one. Could it have fallen into your cab and, is in fact, an interloping choke ? [/quote] Cab is very much sealed, there is a port on the front but it's covered by the grill. Nothing that size could get in! ??

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1475351277' post='3145342'] Could it have been connected across the tweeter to send the low frequencies to ground...maybe glued on the back of the tweeter ? Is that an old glue mark I can see on the back ? [/quote] Yes, there appears to be some glue residue on it. But nothing corresponding on the tweeter. There is a tiny bit of wire coming out of either side of the bugger which would stop it sitting flat on anything. Very strange, as I've said there's no discernible problem soundwise.

I noticed over the last couple of weeks as I loaded my cab in and out that there was something rattling inside. I could see this little round thing with red wire wrapped around it at the bottom when I looked in the port. Took the rear panel off, reached in and this strange little bugger was in there. Cab has performed as usual, immense, loud and with no obvious fault. Tweeter control is fully functional. Any ideas??

Amazing day! Got to meet a hero of mine, John "Rhino" Edwards, a fellow Status player with his own signature bass. He had a little go on mine but I think 5 strings were a bit much for him!! He seemed amazed that I remembered him playing a Status in the 80s with Judie Tzuke who I saw many times. Got to like his playing back then! Herbie, wow, what a character, so engaging and entertaining, a massive big up to the organisers for sorting that one. John Bentley!! Again very entertaining and listening to all those Squeeze chord changes he had his work cut out! Then a certain Darren Redick appeared, so now Basschat is famous on Planet Rock!! Top man!! Nice Spector!! And of course the ever tall Dave Swift and his lovely girlfriend Lucy, both charming, she could be his dep at some point!! Too many old and new friends to mention, massive thanks to Nik and Colin for the organising, Mrs Hamster for the catering!! Special mention for Chunky Munky, he nearly bought my old Status but delighted me with his enthusiasm for all things bass, as I said to him in a message earlier, he looked like a kid in a candy store!! 😀 Just coming down from the day, got in from a cracking gig tonight about half hour ago! Full on weekend, gigs Friday and Saturday with Bash in between!! Going to be a good lay in this morning, on a downside yes I'm a Chelsea boy too so that's the only bad bit, it's only a game, bass is far more important!!

Hey Hen Barn, unless I'm missing something I'm guessing the "Marcus Miller sure" is actually a Sire?? Wouldn't mind a flap around on it if so, 4 or 5 string?

Free tonight due to a dates cock up!!

Been majorly let down by a venue tomorrow night so if anyone knows of a venue needing a band let me know. Female led classic rock, Bon Jovi, F.Mac, Joplin, Boston etc! www.asylumaffair.com Mostly based in Surrey/Sussex!

They did make him meatloaf, looked lush!! He didn't look or sound too good to be honest, slurring a bit and had that vacant look of a man much older than his 68 years. Was pretty amusing though (not his slurring or look I hasten to add, just some of the things he said) Shame, I'm not much of a fan but can appreciate the body of work he's done and the amount of albums he's sold.

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1473455100' post='3130468'] It's a thought, but I reckon I would wear out my welcome in anyone's motor.

Good for you Milty!! It's like a drug!
