  1. Well, I've resoldered the input connections, but the problem persists Can anyone recommend an amp tech near Manchester please? Thank you
  2. Probably for the best. Shame though 'Carl' sounds weird!
  3. @stewblack needs a kilo of the finest Chorley Jama pronto!
  4. 'County Lines' operation!
  5. Can possibly do Chorley to Chester, depending on dates.
  6. Yarp, I think so! It's got a race course & everything!
  7. Will see if I can interest Mrs Teebs in a visit to the MonsterzInLaw for this - sounds good!
  8. Well, that's nowt! You don't know you were born. I could only dream of using string... I used to use barbed wire, and were grateful... ...played a 25 hour straight gig - collar bone exposed & pouring blood by the end, thanked & paid the promoter for the privilege!
  9. UGLY!!! It looks like fetish gear! New strap is PRETTY! Style over Substance™
  10. Yes - will do I really love this little amp - the tone is amazing for such a baby beastie! So solidly built & pretty! Hope I can fix it. Promethean Says "Hi"
  11. 2" (50mm) - quite narrow, but it's what I'm used to, and the only width this particular strap comes in. I've never had a problem with straps being uncomfortable before, it's just that some of the reviews complained about discomfort. Hopefully. I won't need to add a padded doo-dah after all!
  12. Thanks @Trueno I'm not sure the A***hole strap is the one. 'Cutting a dash' it is then!
  13. @Jakester 's suggestion is still the most sensible suggestion. It's a pretty strap - I don't want to turn it into a 'Frankenstein's Monster'!
  14. I appreciate the suggestion, even if I won't necessarily be taking you up on it! Anyway, it's the most sensible suggestion that I've had It's also the most daft...
  15. Yes. Thanks. That's exactly what I had in mind. ( )
  16. Hi all, I have purchased another guitar strap (I know, it's an obsession ), which is beautiful and expensive, but the reviews suggest that it's not the most comfortable on the shoulder. It hasn't arrived yet (from US of A), I'll try it when it arrives, but I'm anticipating it being uncomfortable (I bought it because it's beautiful - style over substance & all that). Do any BCers have any recommendations for padded shoulder thingies that might make it more tolerable? Thanks in advance!
  17. Hope everything is okay for you over there
  18. Hmm... We have some progress. The aux in socket now works & sound through the speaker. It wasn't doing that earlier. Headphone socket also works now. Main input still doesn't work - I think I'll leave it a bit longer, and if it still doesn't work, I'll remove the preamp board from the chassis & check the solder joints. Thank you for your suggestions BC people
  19. Done
  20. I've had the back off to check fuses / obvious signs of magic smoke release, so I might give that a try SM. Ta
  21. No - only a faint 'hiss' - the same noise the amp makes when it's working. I'm hoping that the damp atmosphere in the front room has got into something, but will evaporate off now the amp has been moved to a warm, dry room.
  22. I have an Ibanez Promethean P20 bass practice amp which I use for quiet practice at home in the living room. My wife got the carpets professionally cleaned yesterday - I didn't know that she was planning to do this, or I'd have moved the amp. The amp was covered & unplugged, and there is no obvious sign of damp, but the amp is no-longer working. There is power to the amp - the LED lights and faint noise can be heard through the speaker which increases as the volume is turned up, but no sound when either a bass is plugged in to the input (I've tried 3 different leads and 2 different basses), or MP3 player plugged into the Aux In (I've tried 2 different players and 2 different leads). At present, the amp is sitting in a warm, dry room - I'm hoping for a miracle! Is there anything else that I should be checking? Or doing? Thanks in advance
