Thanks, will open it up sometime and have a go… I did give fx loop jacks a good clean a while back, and plugged them with these, but worth another look! Thanks!

Hi all… fired up my GK MB head last night. Lack of usual full range bassy goodness, noisy artifacts, lack of definition etc. basically, “some sound missing”. After plugging direct into head with known good jack lead, problem still there. Master volume knob was very crackly upon turning… so I muted the amp and gave it many a clockwise and anti turn until (I guess) the dirt in the pot shifted out of the audio path - normal sound restored. So, please, your wisdom: 1) does above sound feasible 2) Strikes me the issue will come back, no? 3) I guess squirting with proper contact cleaner likely causes more issues than solves? Thanks!

Nice @Wilco - top class elements there. There’s something about that MXR, I should never have got rid of mine etc 😬

The Altos are… good. The specs are nonsense marketing waffle, but they’re capable enough for the money. And compact and light enough. If you’re a function band charging £5k a night then no, if (like me) you’re playing at the Frog and Hand Shandy and knocking out Brown Eyed Girl for the 748th time they’re well worth a look!

That E string’s just too long, I think. Superbrights are unusually long - I use long scale on my 35” Ibby BTB and they fit perfectly. I’d try a different brand personally.

First gig since November. Private party in a church in the middle of nowhere. Bloody awful. Stinking cold, long drive, shit get in, freezing, hours of hanging about, long drive home. Bugger this: counting the days until my last gig of the year in November and then the whole sodding lot’s getting sold. Better things to do on a Saturday night than this!

Nice. The GigRig isolator is a great solution, I’ve got one hanging off a 500mA outlet, saved buying a bigger PSU for me

+1 from me on this. As Stew says, come out well in tests on t'internet, and stupid easy to assemble. I used to use Lava but prefer the HB because very difficult to get the connection wrong with a screwdriver-based approach! They work fine... you'll maybe have to take pity and rewire your guitarist's attempts 🙂

Yers, there really ARE some peaches in there! And the width!!

Let’s be right… pic #2 is bass stance, bass face AND dusty end! Good work fella

Thanks for all the suggestions folks!! Much appreciated.
