Darren bought a cab off me, another painless deal with the man. Chinwag, cuppa, and out. Done. A gent and a scholar. Cheers bud.

This is our band's philosophy. We dont play out of the county we all live in. We dont haul our own gear and band PA up any stairs. We dont do weddings. We dont do pay to play. We dont play for less than £250 for our 5 piece. Unless it's a Green King pub, ( our agent deals with those monkeys ), we get paid on the night. End of. We're happy to play a gig per month, because that's what we want. On a rare occasion, like 2 weeks ago, we had back to back gigs on a Friday and Saturday. But it's rare, and that's ok, but we dont make a point in doing such double gigs. We're not bothered if if we get a small crowd, because our fee is still the same. No one can really predict such things anyways. It happens. We still get paid. Our agent has had great feedback from venues, and we get repeat bookings. Our diary is ok upto April 2024. We stick to what we want. That's it in a nutshell. We wont be hassled into this or that. Thing is, we have fun, first and foremost. No one gets rich playing in a pub / covers band, so gigging is for fun only, but with some small reward. If we get a sniff that some venue would be a disaster, we say NO. Period. Our band is made up of 5 non egotisical blokes, who all get on. Even rehearsals are a laugh. That's rare in itself . Life is good

Its the reason threads like the DOI exist. A massive back patting exercise started by a newbie ( back then ) who wanted to get their likes up faster, so as to look like a real trooper, and lose that ' i'm new here with a low like count ' status Only the sad and kids want to look popular on a tiny insignificant miniscule corner of the internet.

Gary just scored my Genz amp, and it was a no fuss transaction. Just how things should be. A far cry from the tyre kicker member that said he'd buy it, then told me a pack of lies. Cheers hombre - have fun Friday

No, as there doesnt seem a way to do that

Possibly dark , but not lacking in tone. Certainly not woolly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5_2s_giF_U

Already had the sink out before i started the thread. It's right royal pain, i'll tell ya. I didnt see anything untoward, so i guess as it's a home amp only, i'll live with one channel. Facking ebay sellers are nothing but criminals

Ok Sub, i did the swap. Jeeeeeeez i had to use pliers and brace the board as i pulled up. They were frigging tight. Got nothing. Switched the cables back, and got my one working channel back. The same one that was working before, that is.

Ok, gotcha. I see where you mean now. Posting a pic... Yep, i could swap those and see. Let ya know !

PS ... DeOxit didnt do anything.

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 ?

Its stereo ( not bridgeable ) 2 x 500 watt @ 4 ohms or 2 x 350 watt @ 8 ohms It has 2 fuses inside, marked on photo , and they both seem fine. I'll take your advice on the jacks and try some DeOxit. They cant be removed due to having to completely dismantle that top circuit board

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 ..

My humble setup, on a board thats a gnat's appendage too small.

G'dday mate

Bluddy Hermes. The only parcel i ever had stolen was by a Hermes driver. I wouldnt use them to post a paperclip.

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 ...?
