Do you mean the orange wires on white plugs as marked ? They're labelled CN 1 and CN 2 so i presume you meant these 2
I dont see orange and white together.
I'll try the swap and see if it changes the fault.
Yup, nothing burnt from looking inside, not that i can see anyways.
Is it possible to remove the heatsink and have access to the IC's ?

My W Audio XTR 1000 has developed a duff channel. The other cahnnel is fine, so we can rule out the speakon cable.
It powers up fine. The power on blue light + both red channel lights appear on powering up, then both red channel lights go out , signalling amp is ready
But only getting power from 1 channel. As we look down on the photo, the right channel is the working channel, left is the duff one with speakon connected.
Anything i can check, assuming i'm an idiot ? Thanks. I know photos are barely helpful, but just in case ..

Trying to I.D. these strings
I have 2 basses fitted with ( at a glance ) the same strings. They look identical to each other regarding the silks. My trouble is that i'm officially colour blind, though this doesn't mean i cant see different colours. I only have trouble when 2 colours are very close to each other.
The silks on both these basses could be deep blue or purple when i look at them. Other info is Gold ball ends on both. Also they're flats.
I think they maybe GHS Brite flats , but due to time passing, i cannot be sure. Anyone use GHS Brite flats ...?

For UK deliveries :
If anyone would rather have a no hassle bass sale and needs a courier, use https://lenspeedlogistics.com/services/single-guitar-delivery-from-55/
Scroll down to coloured map to see where they deliver in the UK mainland for the 55 quid price. They dont require a hard case. They dont even require a cardboard box. A padded gigbag will do. If you phone up , you get the boss, Len, who's a good bloke.
They deal with a lot of antiques as well as bass gear, so are ultra careful with your goods. They are of course fully insured.
They may not be quick. This is because they're a small outfit, and to make money, they need to coincide a pickup with other jobs near to you. Its sheer luck if they have gear to deliver or pickup in your area within a day or two, so it's 50-50 if you get a quick pickup or not. I have waited a week before for a collection from me, but i live way down the country compared to Lenspeed.
I've already used them several times, and have posted on BC about them before. They did stirlings jobs everytime and Len's courier will keep you updated.
A fabulous service

You need to decide whether you want to sell on commisiion or direct to the shop. They dont all do commisiion sales.

Yup, fretless on 2 tracks of ours

Great musicians but just a mess of music. No ta

Stumbled on this - Thomas Dolby's the making of SBMWS. I always admired Dolby, and he always seemed like a genuine human being, as well as a fabulous composer.
Has a great sense of humour too, IMO

If someone says to me they have a problem with their PayPal account I halt the sale and block them. There is no reason to have a “problem” that isn’t self made and all genuine issues can be sorted in minutes as PayPal are very helpful.
What a load of smug tosh
On 20/09/2023 at 12:45, warwickhunt said:Personally I feel the polar opposite; I've been screwed over several times and lost goods and money due to paypal's system/decisions... so it has gone wrong!
Same here - i got right royally stuffed for over a hundred quid using Paypal, but because the courier registered that it was " delivered " they wouldnt accept it was " ITEM NOT RECEIVED " I saw no proof of signature. They didnt have one.
I was furious, so i contacted my bank, which were reluctant to help at first, because it was a debit visa card and it was involving Paypal. Should have used a credit card, but they came good in the end. I got a rather aggrieved email from Paypal, and i told them in polite words to Foxtrot Oscar. I dont use Paypal anymore.
So if anyone mentions, quote : "If someone says to me they have a problem with their PayPal account I halt the sale and block them" I dont give a hoot, and you lose a sale.

Saturday gig almost upon us, The Petty Thieves. So called because almost 1/2 our setlist is Tom Petty covers, which of course, being a covers band, we stole.
Sit. Rep. on Sunday
Pub was a tad small for us, but we played reasonably well, and the punters seemed to enjoy it. We even had dancing a couple of times. Landlord was a good chap and fed us liquid refreshments all night F.O.C , as well as our gig money.
It beats me though why people always take snaps in portrait mode ? Photos always look shyte - turn the phone to landscape , muppet
PS
There's nothing like a punter walking past the camera
Hiya ... you're on film. Smile for the camera , thanks

I only have an FB account because a previous band i was in 12 years ago had a band page. My account is in a false name, false birthday etc.
I barely look at it these days as the band broke up 6 years ago. I have never signed up to any of the other flotsam sosh media. I'm just totally disinterested.
SM sucks in many ways, IMO.
