Thinking whether I caused a short circuit with a switch cleaner and will be ok once dried out evaporated? The part that sparked is the yellow thing in second pic. It doesn't look discoloured.

I recently bought a second hand Marshall MG100DFX. The fan was a bit too loud so I cleaned it out. The fan and the cooling unit were dusty. For a good measure I sprayed a bit of switch cleaner in the fan and all the potentiometers. I plugged the amp in to test if the fan would be quite. I forgot to plug in the speaker. As I switched it on , there was a piping sound and a small flash next to the cooling unit. The amp doesn't work. The T1.6AL fuse on the pcb is blown. I read that replacing the fuse and trying again may cause further damage , so a bit reluctant to replace the fuse. Anyone can suggest what the issue may be or is it money down the drain?

Thanks all, Iooks like lots of research ahead of building

Surely if I know the speakers came from a 2x12 TC bass cab, I can use the cabinet specs to build it?

This seems pretty heavy going, but is there a way of working out the dimensions of the cab if I know what speakers I'm using?

Hi. Unfortunately that means nothing to me sorry, as I said the technical figures no comprendo. Don't know what T/S is without Googleing😁 but perhaps you could educate me

I don't gig but this will take up your whole day.

Thanks, that what I was after as Steve Harris uses sealed Marshall cabinets with EV speakers.

I'm planning to build a 2x 12 bass cab. I've got a delimma , sealed bass cab or ported. I found some information that ported gives better frequency response and sealed may sound muddy but have more low end. I thought ported cabs give more low end. I've got a Fender rumble 100 and it's ported and the bottom end is deep, but with a 15 inch speaker. I'm looking for an overall solution maybe geared towards mid frequencies? I'm not into technical frequency graph response charts as they mean nothing to me. The question is sealed or ported? Any suggestions please?

Don't know what's worse, the music or the fight

I bought Hotone Thunder Bass mini 5w amp from Paul. Great Comms, fast delivery and through packaging. Thanks

It depends what you want from the sound. I fitted Matt Freeman signature bass with Seymour Duncan Steve Harris Sig pickups. They made the bass sound, well like close to Steve's tone, so I put back the stock pickups.

I did not click on the link, but if he plays what's in the link picture, I would not call it a bass.

I'd buy Oasis catalogue, 99 pence

Has anyone mentioned Tom Araya?

Does this amp makes a pop sound when switched on or off?

I was going to suggest Jethro Tull but unsure if he plays recorder?

Ride the Lighting- Metallica

Overcomplicated

So what's the bass line in ...and Justice for All album? Did Lars have it muted to an inaudible level because Jason would have dominated the low end with his incredible bass playing or was Lars still mourning Cliff.

I think my lawn mower has a sticker on it it's 95 dB, I better check. On the serious note, whenever I go to a gig I take earplugs especially arena or stadium gigs. Surely it's easy to trip the meter if a playing band has punters in the background then add all other sounds such as general talking, serving drink, door slamming and walking etc. That dB meter will not give accurate reading unless you play in a totally sound proved chamber. The venue probably doesn't care and they don't even have a clue how dB works and sound waves travel etc. Have you considered showing them some scientific research on dB to prove your point?

I have previously struggled to choose a picture so a quick Lego build shoved between house plants and a snap will do I thought. There is a panda, monkey and a turtle with a parrot in the background. So the choice is yours. Many, many interpretations. Happy composing.

Thanks chums, I'll get a pic over sometime today.
