I've had the back off to check fuses / obvious signs of magic smoke release, so I might give that a try SM. Ta

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.

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

Mmm...spambot

No me either, but I hope you find the person

Yep, as I've mentioned on other threads, I use one every week to DI into the PA so I don't have to lug or risk inebriated idiots punters resting / spilling drinks on top of my amp. As Bilbo says, it's sensitive & takes a little fine-tuning, but sounds ace once you've tweaked it to suit. Also works very well with the Eden Glowplug pedal, which has a 12AX7 valve to 'warm up' the tone. ( @lozkerr has one of these too). Recommended

Looking forward to this!

Auditions are awkward for everyone Good luck & fingers crossed for the next batch 👍

I saw Buddy Guy at Manchester Bridgewater Hall in 2010 - the man is a consumate showman! Amazing gig - particularly enjoyed the bit where he played in the style of other great guitarists like Clapton & Hendrix, and explained how he taught them everything they knew! (Very tongue in cheek!)

I've used this ⏬ in the past to add more low end. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boss-GEB-7-7-Band-Bass-Pedal/dp/B0002KZ6LQ It works!

Snow Patrol headlined The Witchwood in Ashton (small but legendary Manchester venue) on a Thursday night, probably 2001ish - shortly before they became famous. They were supported by a band called Terra Diablo, if I remember correctly, who were absolutely amazing & owned the night - easily the best band of the evening. Never heard of Terra Diablo again, which is a great shame, whereas Snow Patrol went on to commercial success etc. As an aside, our band headlined the same venue on the Friday, to about twice as many people as the Snow Patrol gig, and rocked it! ...and who remembers us, eh?

I read 'Weekend Rockstars' this weekend & really enjoyed it Thanks very much Dave - looking forward to the next installment 👍

Hiya Goran.

Hiya Guillaume

Thanks Dave

That's not a joke - that seems to be the reality (tractor or caravan!)

Detention for you, my lad!

I might just do that, what with my newly minted Irish citizenship and all! #smug

Not a Level 42 or slap fan, but that's ace! Fantastic playing, great video & sound!

Nice one

That's pretty harsh treatment, but not rare by all accounts. It sounds to me like they already knew that 'Carl' was possibly joining their band, but were hedging their bets. Not a great deal you can do - either ignore their message, give them a load of abuse, or try to do the diplomatic thing & stay 'friends' (!) I think if it were me, I'd go for the second option of kicking off, but then that might not be wise... Good luck with everything, and remember, you did everything they asked - they failed you.

I'm down there a few times a year - the MonsterzInLaw live in Fakenham. So far, I've only found 1 band playing in Fakenham, but they were pretty good. I'd be interested in knowing where's good around there too.

Daphne Blue? Re. Squier VM basses - for the money, I think they're ace! Really solid & reliable...and pretty! Use mine every week at open mic.

KILL HIM. IMMEDIATELY.
