  1. Just raise a toast in my name should do it1
  2. I feel that the knob issue is a stunning failure of design elements by TCE. An owner should NOT have to go through these trials with what amounts to a new amplifier.
  3. Mine had fans unless I am misremembering. I can clearly see it in my minds eye! LOL Possibly the North American units were different from the European models.
  4. Very often these amps can benefit from being carefully opened and vacuumed out. The cooling fans suck in a pile of crud that tends to block the cooling path., Folks who try this service should wear a good quality face mask. Luckily (sic) we all should have those handy 'cos of Covid.
  5. To add: I was worried it meant Inland Revenue Service!
  6. If you're going to miss treat your bass by slapping it I've nothing more to say!!
  7. I found a few on YouTube. It seems to be a fairly versatile amplifier. I must admit that I didn't like the distortions built into the unit for my purposes as I don't like distortion on my bass tone.
  8. I remember that when I was allowed on TalkBass all the posts about fragile knobs when the amps first came on the market.
  9. If you kick your speakers it's only natural for them to fail! LOL I'm glad you got it sorted.
  10. It says deleted yet here it is large as life!!
  11. Some times, coming from a tiny country like the UK, just how big Canada is! LOL
  12. So much for Alexa and accuracy! LOL
  13. Me too but 1700 odd kilometres is a bit of a long drive!
  14. @W1_Pro Come on bro tell us what you really think!! LOL
  15. Do the 9V battery test on the speaker cabinet. Applying the battery terminal across the cable jack should produce a loud pop from the cabinet. No pop blown drivers or faulty cable.
  16. You do remember that we are supposed to be cutting down on our spending? LOL Enjoy your new 'toy.' I also hope that you were not affected by the events three years ago. Very sad that!
  17. @ikay I'm glad, no I'm delighted to have been of help. Those jacks have contacts that complete the circuit if nothing is connected to the loop. These can corrode over time and the connection is lost. You can leave a small cable, such as ones for interconnecting pedals, permanently attached going forward which will bypass the corroded contacts.
  18. While I was active on TalkBass I gave a Mark III amp to a young player. I paid the $100 shipping too! LOL.
  19. If your amp has an Effects Loop try linking the Send and return with a signal cable to see if that helps. Just a thought is all!
  20. Ah but! I love what my B string can do and the other strings just give me a wider choice of fingerings.
  21. @Marty Forrer You're tall! You make that Jazz look like a toy! LOL
  22. What do you expect a 20W or even a 50W tube amp to sound like? Volume is not their forté tone is.
  23. I would agree with the first part but to me it has one string too few!
  24. I'm sorry for your troubles Brother.
