Ive got a big marshall dbs amp, its a 4x10" version of this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marshall-200-Watts-Bass-Amp-15-Inch_W0QQitemZ250536674796QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item3a552645ec"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marshall-200-Watts-B...=item3a552645ec[/url] its been broken for quite a while, and it hasnt been clear whats wrong with it. it powers up but no sound comes out of the speakers. definately the amp and not a cable or bass or anything. anyways i opened it up and to my surprise i found a valve in it. now this amp was sold to me about 5 years ago, the guy before had it for 3 or 4 years and never mentioned to me there was a valve in it, so im assuming that the valve needs replacing. im wondering if i have to get a specific type of valve to replace, and how i go about doing it. is it simple? should i get a professional to look at it. im hoping to get it fixed soon as I want to sell it on as my gigging days are pretty much over for now.

ive got a best of, i really love their sound but i cant listen to them for too long, im not sure why

i cant find a website for this event anywhere?? sounds really good but all i can find is forum posts talking about last years event

i believe theyre writing a new album at the moment

a scooter ^_^ nah not really im not that brave

they were supported by "lucky dragons" aswell, who i managed to catch when i walked in, im still not sure how he was doing whatever he was doing, he had everyone in the room sat down holding hands and chuckling a fair bit though, take a look, very interesting to watch [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqkqgq867j8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqkqgq867j8[/url]

Saw "Polar Bear" last night at the mint lounge in manchester. Its the bass player and big haired drummer from acoustic ladyland, coupled with two awesome sax players and another lad who was playing guitar, a kaoss pad and even a balloon at one point. Absolutely awesome acoustic jazz stuff i couldnt believe it youtube polar bear i recommend you do!!!

im in a silent band. we make sure our image is never more important than the music though

My bass tutor tried to teach me this years ago, never got it.[/quote] kidding arent you? i worked this out by ear, pretty simple bassline. nice though, dont get me wrong. whack it into youtube and watch some guys playing along, sometimes watching an individual play a bassline the way they do does baffle you

great, pleasure doin business

Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band

dave gilmour john frusciante hendrix obviously

ive been meaning to figure out their rendition of mrs robinson for ages now, youve just reminded me to do it. love booker t n the mg's, awesome stuff

no, im pretty new to reggae as of some time early last year, but im already in love with it, i even was daft enough to get 54-46 tattoo'd on my arm Im not playing in a band at the minute, i jam with friends, but ive started to notice how listening to so much reggae is affecting my own lines and improv jams, ive started to simple lines down the lines and give a lot more feel into each note. Im not saying im a reggae bass master all of a sudden, but i would love to try myself out in a reggae cover band hmmm maybe im going to have to post an ad in the local music shop... would love to hear some of your covers btw

every single band you mentioned in that first post, IMO, is utter pop sh*te. Spice girls with guitars oh wait no sorry i just reread, linkin park arent too bad

early white stripes is awesome, a bassist would ruin it lovin seasick steve aswell, anybody heard of "son of dave"? hes brilliant
