    I use a passive d.I. box on the speaker out of the ctm15 , the speaker then connects to the through jack, and you can feed the xlr output to whatever power amp you choose. I use it like that for recording to get the power stage break-up sound. Apparently, the box (I use a Studiospares dual passive) is good for amps up to 100watts, and has a 3 level attenuator to tame the output to match what you're feeding into. For recording, the 20dB setting is perfect when running the amp quite hard.

    Using round wound strings would probably help, as I always find the saddles need to move further south when switching to flats.

    The place i played with my ctm 15 was not big, small p.a. for vox, small drum kit. I played through two Barefaced 12" cabs, Midgets old and new. Not too loud, but it was all there. I just had a practice using my newly acquired TC Spectracomp, and that sounded quite a lot louder, and still clean. Ish!

    Good point - I'm sure fret buzz is more noticeable when the strings are new, as the fret rattle has more high frequency content. Nobody will hear it when the band is rockin out anyhow!

    Have you checked that it isn't the odd high spot on those two frets? Try rocking a credit card on the particular string and fret it is happening, I've had cheap guitars that have had odd peculiar high spots not across the whole fret.

    Did the Orange terror bass have one?

    It's easy enough to check if it's one fret that's high. Just use a credit card and see if it rocks on the suspected high fret and the two either side of it. It shouldn't rock even slightly. Use either the short or long side of the card depending on where the fret is you're checking, so that it only spans the two frets either side of the one you're checking.

    What does it sound like with bass going through it?

    Thanks Bill, I see how you get there now.

    What would 4 speakers of 98dB sensitivity yield when combined, theoretically?

    When I was looking into getting a CTM 15, I seem to remember reading something from Ashdown along the lines of "15 watts of all valve power", which, technically, is correct, as the phase splitter and power stage IS all valve! I've used it for recording bass and guitar, and like the sound it makes, but, since they are using a solid state front end, I'd have preferred a proper 3 band +/- 15dB eq over the old fashioned valve-style interactive eq. And like Bigwan here, am not sure about the tone change as you wind the gain up. I've also gigged it twice using 2 12" cabs and I liked it!

    I think the Squier ones r metric. I'm sure my Korean Tele is

    Even the photos are good! Quality work all round.

    I can't imagine getting that Ric jangle with flats. That's what they do, don't deny them their destiny!

    Looks hefty, does it weigh a ton?

    Molex kk series? http://uk.farnell.com/molex/22-01-3037/housing-female-3way/dp/1462838?st=MOLEX

    I propose a 3-way dance-off!

    Voted. Good work folks.

    Good selling point for Lakland?

    You've got a bucket? !! Lucky sod!

    2 kg? seems unlikely

    I've got a 24v brushless motor fan somewhere at work, think it's 100mm square. They are fairly quiet, can't say if it would be any better than what you currently have, but you're welcome to it if it suits.

    I spent my formative years in Watford. I wonder if Stan's "music" shop is still going? I heard Sparkey's place shut years ago...

    Is it voting time yet? Having listened to most last night, I concur with Skol's earlier comment about the standard improving from the early days. Mine just started from a lower point As an aside, I found out that SoundCloud wont let you update your upload unless you "go Pro" (ie PAY ). I forget why I stopped using Dropbox. Was it that you could only play mp3s after downloading, or you had to load the app to stream?

    They said on the radio that the signing was only unavailable for the support acts.
