Thanks all for your advice! Hoping I can sort it. I don't have a PC when I'm at home so have to generally wait till I'm at work to reply. cheers, Duff

Hello all, Anybody experienced this before - My Hartke HA3500 head was working fine, just the other night. Go to switch it on last night. Nothing. Course I'll check the fuse in the plug later for first checks - but does anyone know of similar problems? Plays fine one eveninging and then no power the next? I bought this off a guy not 3 weeks ago so I'm PRAYING all is ok. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, NTRD

Yeah, Duff was 'the man' back then as far as I was concerned! Him and the other 4 bass players in the opening line up of the Freddy Mercury tribute concert (1991?) The reason I started playing. Duff

Bands are very much like marriages! HARDER maybe! At least in a marriage you (normally!) have only 2 opinions battling each other. You have to get that chemistry right or you're doomed aren't you..... Who wants to jam with folk they can't stand to look at let alone be onstage with them? Then there's all that ego BS......yawn! Don't give up matey. I have had a few breaks in playing and when it all comes together, you'll be glad you kept going. Course, there's nothing wrong with playing with yourself - I've been doing it for years!!

Hello firends with far more technical know how than I, I'd just like to sound you out really and get some opinions on the following. I still own the first bass I ever bought (who doesn't, right!?) as it's been very good to me these past 17 (holy "£%£ am I that old! ) year. Anyhow - she doesn't pump out a MEGA sound and so I wondered if changing the pick ups would have any major difference to the sound. I HONESTLY don't know abou this kind of stuff, want to learn though. Anybody know much about this kind of thing or done similar? Thanks, Duff

Hello all, It's good to be here at long last! I've just moved here......can I borrow a cup of sugar? My name is Duff - a nickname given to me 15 years ago by my friends and that has never gone. INDEED Duff, after my original bass idol as a teen, Duff McKagan of Gn'R. I look NOTHING like him and I'm not earning like he does - more's the pity!! Just thought he was very cool at the time and that was that. It has long since stuck and it suits me better than my real name I just wanted to say hi to you all and that I look forward to chatting, getting advice and having a laugh with you! I've recently got back in to my playing and it's like being born again I'm gonna be playing in the band for a production of the musical, 'RENT' in June and very much looking forward to it Anybody familiar with it? That's it for now. Please come and say hi! Cheers, Duff
