And thanks for your reply.[/quote] Throwing more watts at it won't help, turning down and letting the PA take the load is the way forward! Are the other musicians in the band tooling up for more power/volume?

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1209375' date='Apr 23 2011, 06:34 PM']Mines had a slight issue with the lead which seems to have resolved itself but the socket end on the amp is pretty solid and shouldn't move at all. These are usually held with push fit return clips ie when pushed in from the outside the clips retract and then open once inside the casing holding securely. Is it possible the socket is fully pushed back inside the casing and just needs a little nudge. Might work. Otherwise you may have to return and have it replaced. Not sure how easy it is to open the casing and see how they are fixed at back of socket. ? When you say moves away from the chassis do you mean inward or outward from the casing. ? Keep us posted though Cheers Dave[/quote] Always the issue that warranty is invalidated by opening up the casing!

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1208917' date='Apr 23 2011, 08:52 AM']I'm more curious to know if its an inherant fault with these basses.[/quote] It's not any kind of inherent fault that I've ever heard of. I've owned a few Thumbs over the years (inc several NT 89's) and there's never been a problem with them electronically... other than the ever present chocolate jack sockets! If it's a regular/metronomic click I'd be inclined to say that it is the amp rather than the bass especially as you've never noticed it before. Try a few other basses (ideally another Thumb) and rather than EQ it to mask it I'd play about with the various settings to see if you can induce or make it worse so that you can establish if it is the amp or bass; nothing worse than masking a problem and one day it turns round and bites you back when you least need it (high pressure gig etc).

You take a Precision... and stick a Jazz pup in it! However for the ultimate PJ you get this...

Watched the 2nd vid clip... what's the problem? You come across as a competent covers band and tbh your singer seems to have come in for the most flack yet I wouldn't say that any one of you is better worse than each other, I've seen a lot worse bands doing the rounds! I can appreciate that you want to progress so asking folks for areas to improve on is admirable but there'll be just as much conflicting advice as there will constructive. At the end of the day improvements suggested by BCers re. lights etc is valid but song choices etc is subjective; you are a covers band getting paid to entertain (hopefully), just enjoy doing what you do and do it to the best of all of your abilities. Good luck.

£500 off the matching SVT amp as well!

Hardly my cup of tea but anyone in the market for a monster cab might save a bit by going to GuitarGuitar! A 'brand new' SVT 8x10 for £750 seems a decent deal!

No age at all to go and to Cancer... though I suppose Cancer has no concept of age!

I've had a couple of these over the years and they rate in my top 5 of fave amps. I used to get annoyed that the top end (100w) amp was rated to 8 ohms and the bottom end (300w) amp was 4 ohms as like many others I rarely owned a 4 ohm AND an 8ohm cab! It was all just numbers at the time and it means less to me now but as a youngster trying to get the max out of my amp/cabs it was frustrating.

No disrespect to your band or your singer because I applaud (quite literally) anyone prepared to get up and do it live as opposed to the bedroom warriors or those who simply practice/jam with their mates and never commit to actually performing BUT aside from the lyric reading (most bands I've been in for the last 20 yrs have had singers with lyric sheets as it's a crutch) I get the feeling from the short vid that your singer isn't an out-and-out 'Rock Chick'. She can patently sing and does some of that stuff well but (IMHO) I don't think she's comfortable with the whole ROCK/Performing side of things! I can imagine her being very good at Lounge music or even less rocky material but her dress/mannerisms/persona don't give me the impression she's 100% in with what you do... I stress this is simply a snap-shot decision based upon a 2 min vid, so don't go getting the hump with her as it may not be the case and I could quite easily be wrong. Even if she is out of her comfort zone it's not her fault and I'd suggest that you could do far worse for a singer, so maybe look at the whole band package! Where's my seat on these bliddy talent shows?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1206563' date='Apr 20 2011, 11:06 PM']I do agree the neck is nice to play compared to others that are non-roadworn but that's it for me.[/quote] I've got a thing about basses that don't have worn in/rounded/rolled fingerboard edges and the worst culprits have been new Warwicks and Spectors! I can forgive most things but a fingerboard edge that is so sharp that it hurts has me putting down a bass quicker than a hot tattie!

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='1197970' date='Apr 13 2011, 11:48 AM']no, JV squiers were either sen ash for earlier ones and then basswood. If you see figuring like the one in my profile pic it is sen ash, if not prob basswood. Otherwise look for a slightly more curved radius on the body than current fender, the 'router hump' they copied... then if jazz it will have (off the top of my head) the grounding wire on top between the bridge and bridge pup cavity, spiral bridge, cloth wiring on the wires in the cavity no extra routing under the pickguard.... i wouldn't pay too much for it mind, really the JV squier export stuff is good, but there were many other JV guitars being made for the domestic market too, not knowing what it is at best it is a basswood body, nicely finished with vintage type hardwear and USA made pups. any stamps in the neck pocket and how does your friend know what it is? and where has he put the neck... maybe kill him to get the neck?[/quote] You sure the early ones didn't come in Alder? I could swear that my first JV (bought new when they were released) was Alder!
