Obiviously something had slipped and as it all looked fine afterwards it is possible that the ball end may not have been seated properly in the bridge to start with.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1414264458' post='2587761'] I would say that you problem is the excessive number of winds on the tuner. [/quote] I think he is saying it took him 5 or 6 turns on the tuner to bring the string back into tune, not 5 or 6 winds around the string post.

Can't stand fans, it's like standing in a cold draught, gives me a stiff neck.

It looks like the pcb around the 1+ connection on CN2 has been scraped away to isolate it and the capacitor then added. Maybe they have made speakon 2 as an output to a tweeter or some other HF unit...

I let the two Les Pauls go in 1980 when I packed in playing which lasted ten years, big regrets. [attachment=172061:My Gibsons.jpg]

I quit in 1964 right after my first go on a ciggy and coughing my lungs up. I couldn't see the point in it. Still can't.

"Goin' Down Slow" by Free is not your standard 12 bar either.

I opened the Laney pa amp we use at a local jam night to find why it had gone dead half way through the night and found this... [attachment=169899:Laney 2.jpg] Cracks have appeared in the output transistors allowing the smoke to escape. I think I could fill the cracks with some hot glue but am wondering if I was to get some smoke from a smoke machine and refill them would it be ok. Has anybody tried this.

Some leave a greasy/oily film on equipment.

It's not a real shock unless your skeleton was exposed.

[quote name='Jonesy64' timestamp='1402843098' post='2477163'] Getting on great with mine....had its 5th gig last night. I have pretty much settled on the bass around 2-3 o'clock, mids and treble at noon, the mids selector on the second click, [/quote] Having the mids on noon doesn't cut or boost anything so it doesn't matter what the selector is on.

I use Pledge Cedar Oil, 99p from Home Bargains, on my Bubinga Thumb Basses. Leaves no build up and a silky smooth finish.

I find people to be biased towards their own opinions.

Only watched a couple of minutes but it looked like she was using all five of them.

I have not been back inside mine since I first adjusted it. While it is sounding ok I'll leave well enough alone, but if I had reason to adjust it again I will also go down the route you have gone and change the trimpot.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1399716012' post='2446884'] Afraid I have got to stick with the syringing. Along with ear wax, I get a lot of dead skin down the old ear canal due to psoriasis in the ear. [/quote] As I suffer from excema and have itchy ears I wonder if this is also my problem.

I have always had problems with my ears since a kid. Eardrops soften the wax but it never seems to come out and having a history of holes and perforations I can't have them syringed, the water runs down my throat. I have it removed by [url="http://www.theearcarecentre.co.uk/What-is-Microsuction-.html"]microsuction[/url]. It is the worst thing I have had done, I would sooner have a root canal filling. It doesn't hurt, it is just so uncomfortable, like having a Dyson in your ear. I find it hard to sit still and not grimace. It starts off silent and as the wax is being removed the sound is awful and getting louder. My last time a couple of months back took two sessions on one ear as it was that compacted. The world is a much noisier place afterwards.

No bass clef on the one I had. The Les Pauls are two basses I now regret selling. [attachment=162224:My Gibsons.jpg]

I have tried an SG Bass a few times and can not get on with the long heel at the neck joint. Why Gibson changed from their original neck pocket design I don't know. Epiphone still use it.

If these are the specs for the [url="http://www.dawsons.co.uk/ashdown-mag-210t-deep-cabinet-250w?gclid=COeF0NT7-L0CFUoCwwodXpsAZg"]Ashdown 2x10T[/url] it being 4Ω cab, I assume it has two 8Ω speakers in parallel. So if one of the speakers is 8Ω the only off the shelf way of getting 6Ω is adding a 16Ω speaker to the existing wiring. Ok it is really 5.3333333Ω but that is 6Ω to the average joe who does this type of install. Edit: ignore this as they also do an 8Ω 210T cab.

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1398281502' post='2432512'] A 6 ohm 2x10? How does that work? [/quote] [quote name='mikebass84' timestamp='1398281741' post='2432519'] No idea. The guy who fixed the cab ssaid it's now 6ohm B-) [/quote] Hmm.... an 8 and 16 in parallel? Sounds a good fix.....

Nice one. Hope you enjoy the amp as much as I do mine.
