  1. Tried that to no effect. However, when used with another pre-amp plugged in to the power amp the Ampeg volume pot is not in circuit.
  2. I have a fault on my SVT 3pro that is similar to what you would get with dirty in/out sockets. I have cleaned the contacts on the sockets thoroughly, even tried linking them with a patch lead but to no avail. I know it is on the power amp section as I have tried different pre/power amp permutations. It does not always do it and it seems to do it more on low volume. A quick flick of the volume control up and down cures it for a while. It is not the bias. There is one more set of contacts, and I have had a problem with this on a hifi amp which was cured by cleaning, and that is the speaker relay. Has anyone had this problem with a speaker relay? It looks a bit fiddly to get at and pop the cover off but I will attempt it If I can't locate the problem elsewhere.
  3. This was my band, Wildlife, circa 1975. The backing was recorded in a two track studio which later became Amazon Studios, and the vocals overdubbed on a Philips tape recorder in a bedsit.
  4. Some years back rechargeable PP3s were only 7.2 volts, then they became 8.4 volts and then 9.6 volt. Each time the capacity becoming less as they were trying to cram more 1.2v cells into the same size battery. These Lithium-ion batteries do measure 9+ volts but I doubt the 1200mA.
  5. I bought some of the Pujimax ones after reading this thread. They didn't last 2 months in my Thumb Bass, used in the house for about an hour or so a week. The spare that was fully charged at the same time was also flat. I put back the Duracell that was installed in June 2019 ( I always write the date on) and that still worked.
  6. I had to reverse the one-way rod in my '91 Thumb bass to give it some forward relief.
  7. I wonder what the €25.00 option is?
  8. I sold these two Les Paul basses in 1980 ish thinking I would not play again. I wasted the money on CB radios. Ten years later when I started playing again I regretted what I had done. I still have the EB3.
  9. I can still remember the HMV radiogram with my dad's collection of Humphrey Lyttleton 78s, and also some favourites of mine, 'Take Me For A Buggy Ride' by George Melly and Mick Mulligans Magnolia Jazz Band, and 'The Old Music Master' by Hoagy Carmichael. Before my dad passed away (2004) I had bought him a set of Humphrey Lyttleton cds which I now have and often listen to and bring back those happy memories of our tiny terraced house in the '50s. My Dad played the accordion and was gigging from the age of 14 to his 80s. This was sometime after the war with Danny Black's Rhythm Boys.
  10. For the last week I have been daily, sometimes twice, receiving Google verification codes by text message. I haven't requested them and they don't say what account they are for, I have five. I check them all and there is no suspicious activity. I don't know what to make of them yet, possibly leading to some sort of scam or maybe someone else has set up their account with the wrong phone number.
  11. He doesn't say what size speaker he is using.
  12. Message me your address and I'll try and sort one out.
  13. I'd bought them on eBay but the link is now broken. I had a quick search but could not find any other than Hartke Amp Parts.
  14. No. The type you need is this... I bought half a dozen from China for around a fiver. I'll check my mail to see if I can find where from. Edit - Have you checked for loose connections elsewhere... speaker jack, speaker connections?
  15. I've heard 'Sunshine Of Your Love' in a recent advert but it took my attention away from what was being advertised.
