Im on my iphone just now - have you got an email address i could forward the pictures?

Got one but it doesnt seem to fit :/ The washery hexy bit that came with is too big

You should just buy mine Huw

Agreed with all the above about practicing. I just learned to play fast by going 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 m + i + m + i Same applies to getting the ring finger working.

Hey guys, I recently bought a bt1 (hipshot extender) - thought it said it would fit lakkys but its too big. Anyone know how big the tuning pegs hole is? Probs just sell the bt1 or add it to my ray.

What about a mesa 400+? Keep up with a drummer then!

Thanks for all the help guys. I stuck her into the local shop and the techs checked her over. Turns out it was a dodgy transistor apparently that was causing the problems. The dude is testing it today so I'll hopefully get it back tomorrow.

I have an ABY box i'd be willing to sell if you're interested? PM me

Give [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/"]www.watfordvalves.com/[/url] a ring and talk to the bloke there, he has a great wealth of knowledge and can supply you some great new valves if needs be. Cheers, Jon edit:grammar![/quote] I gave the dude a call - He said it [i]might [/i]be the valves. Wasn't able to confirm either way if replacing the valves would fix it - he did say that the lower output did sound like the valves had died on one row.

Quite often a valve will still work (ish) even when its gone right out of spec. Sometimes they go microphonic but work within specs and sometimes they go broke and microphonic. Also have any new valves tested before you use them, I lost a couple of hours looking for a fault in an amp and it turned out to be a brand new valve that was shorted. Buzzing similar to earth hum does sound like a duff valve, possibly one of the pre amp, drivers or buffers. Good luck cheers Just[/quote] Looks like this is the way forward. Might see if i can book it in one of the local shops as soon as possible for them to check it. Just a shame that it'll cost silly money to do it! Though at least Watford Valves sell the right valve needed!

Okay - tested each power valve as advised and one is sorta tinkling when i shake it. Does this mean i just need to replace the single valve? Would that explain the lower volume and buzzing? Davie
