It sounds like a bad connection somewhere, giving an intermittent signal. As bazzbass says above it could be anything in the signal chain and the only way to find it is the process of elimination. If it's definitely the amp it could be anything from a bad cable connector to a dry solder joint or bad capacitor. The only way to cure it would be to take it to an amp Tec or electricical specialist if it's a decent amp worth spending money on.

Superb! I bet that was a proper buzz. I'm very much in the same boat as you, I've just recently started playing again. My last band was in high school almost 30 years ago so it's almost like starting anew. My first gig (at least as an adult) is just over the horizon as my band is still in the rehersal stage. I'm looking forward to it and dreading I in equal measure. I know once I get up there I'll be fine, but I dare say there will be some amount of nerves on the day.

The neck on mine is high gloss (over natural wood) which is a shame. They really should have left the neck bare. Having said that it's super smooth and I've never had any issues moving my hand along it.

It's got Ford F40 Stripes. I bet it plays fast.

Fair enough. They're still unbelievable value for money new.

I couldn't decide whether it was really cool or really sad. Although the fact that I just used the word cool is actually pretty sad. 😏

Yeah I'm sure you're probably right. I wouldn't be at all surprised that such a cable exists. I only meant that you couldn't daisy chain them in the standard way as you would with a double cab connection.

I was actually going to move mine or de-badge it altogether, but there is an uncut metal plate on the grill under the badge the same shape so it would look a bit naff. I actually flipped the grill over on mine to match my initials "MW". Not sure if I'll keep it like that but I just wanted to see what it would look like.

I can't compare it to the rumble but they're not mega heavy. I'd estimate about 20kg. The 2x10 is listed at 23kg and the 1x15 feels lighter to me. Anderton's still have a few in stock. https://www.andertons.co.uk/wharfedale/wharfedale-whb115-1-x-15-300w-ported-bass-cab

Yes indeed. He still uses it live when he's playing stuff from the first album. Sadly he's sponsored up the wazoo by Fender now so I doubt it will see the light of day again on any new stuff.

As I understand it, a through neck would supposedly offer more sustain, but as I don't think I've ever played one I'm none the wiser. I certainly think they look better, but that's just personal taste.

Wow that's an absolute steal! I got mine for £205 brand new from Thomann. Looks like I was just in time too. They've just gone out of stock again for 2-4 weeks the day after I ordered. I may even have bought the last one they had. I'd have been gutted! I've been hanging on for the past couple of weeks waiting for a PA to come in stock that I also wanted. The PA came in and the Veyron sold out within a day of each other. Thankfully I was on the ball.

There's a black one for sale on here for £150. Absolute steal at that price.

..... and cheap! Don't forget cheap. Unbelievable value at just over £200.

I have one in Sunburst. I keep trying to tell people how good they are. Absolutely superb little basses, and they sound massive. Talk about punching above your weight.

You beat me to it.

Well I certainly didn't buy it. I'm still trying to work out what to do with a single neck.

I'd offer £1.25 for giggles but I'm scared I might win it.

I used the cabs at practice today and they performed absolutely superbly. Really clear, clean and punchy, no problems cutting through in the mix. They move a massive amount of air compared to my old single 2x10 cab, and they have loads of headroom to spare. All in all I'm well pleased with them. I can't wait for my new Veyron head to arrive now and I'll have a really great budget friendly rig.

Yeah I figured about the same based on the 2000w peak rating. Although from what I've read it holds its own against many 800w amps in direct comparison. Either way it should be more than I ever need. My new cabs are 500w combined so I should get plenty of headroom.

Bloody hell has it arrived already? That was quick! You only ordered it 13 minutes ago. 😂

Well I've taken the plunge and ordered one. Judging by pretty much every review I've read I hopefully shouldn't be disappointed.

That's sods law in action.

My cabs finally turned up today. So here's a bit of a review as promised, for anyone who's interested. Firstly the weight. Ok to be fair they're not lightweight cabs. But they're certainly not massively heavy either. Certainly much lighter than my current Bugera 2x10. The 2x10 is listed at around 23kg and I'd say that's probably about right. Surprisingly the 1x15 is noticeably lighter. Build quality wise they appear to be extremely well made and absolutely rock solid. If have no qualms about throwing them in the car and gigging them. Feature wise. They only have a single connector on the back, so no option to daisy chain the cabs. Not a problem for me as I have 2 outputs on the amp but it could be an issue for some. The connector is a dual purpose speakon / jack lead connector though so at least it gives you the option to use either kind of lead. The handles are pretty good, functional, solid and look smart enough. They're also flat and slightly recessed so it gives you the option to use or stack them sideways which is nice. The 2x10 has a built in horn which is angled upwards so it's directed towards the player. I'm not sure if this is genuinely a "feature" or just a gimmick but it seems to make sense. There is no switch or volume control for the horn so it's always on which is a bit annoying, having said that it puts out a pretty balanced sound so as not to be intrusive. In fact it's barely perceivable, but this could be a lot to do with amp setup as I tend to roll the top end down anyway. Maybe it would be more noticeable to people who like a trebly sound or play slap. Looks wise. Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I genuinely think they look really good. They look a lot better "in the flesh" than in the pictures or YouTube videos I've seen. The Tolex is well fixed and looks fairly robust, not the paper thin stuff you get on some budget gear. The metal grills are well finished and really solid. The logo's look quite nice and are more golden than they look in pictures. The whole rig, 1x15 and 2x10, is actually reasonably compact, certainly not 80's half stack or full on fridge sized. So no problems on a modest stage. Sound. Well it's early days and I haven't had much chance to play through them yet, but first impressions is they're quite neutral. Maybe what you would expect from a company more known for making hi-fi and PA speakers. It suits me as I'm happy to let the amp, bass and effects pedals create the tone, but probably not for someone looking for a particular sound. The drivers appear to be extremely well built. I turned my 300w head up full and gave it the beans and the cabs never even broke a sweat, but the house windows nearly fell out, so I'm pretty confident they'll be fine for any gig I'm likely to throw at them. Value for money. I'm very happy with them and I'd say they're an absolute steal for the price they were being sold. Fair enough they will probably have less second hand value than an empty bean can, but that was never the reason I bought them. Even then, at the price I paid I could use them as firewood in a couple of years and who cares?

To be fair, if it works then I can't fault the bloke. There are many many amazing musicians and songwriters out there that never make it. There are also plenty of crap ones who do. The only difference is marketing. If he's found a way to exploit the system then good on him. The record labels pull dirty tricks all the time, why not the artists? All's fair in love and music.
