I watched the Bass The World review of it yesterday and Frank seemed to be loving it, forgoing the usual epic bass face for an expression of constant pleasant surprise. Plus it looks danged sexy too, and I'm no great fan of the aesthetics of headless basses!

I have two and don't have any need for more than one more (although I would like to but space and finances are a constraint) and that will be a 5er to open up more song possibilities for the band. I try to rotate mine but my P-bass is killing my Elf at the moment it seems so which I use on a gig will depend on the size: if I want to use the Elf I'll have to use the Sire bass, but if I want to use the P then I'll have to drag the ABM out. Unless I can nail down the problem with the Elf before the warranty runs out, in which case hopefully a replacement will solve that particular issue!

Here, in fact!

I think Tony Franklin did a video on how to do this sort of thing.

It sounds very SBL, I get daily emails to sign up to their Technique Accelerator course when I have no intention of doing so.

That sort of issue could happen anywhere though. I recently booked my tyre fitting through Asda at Wilco Motosave, who are normally very good, but they forgot to book me a fitting slot, so I wasted three hours of my afternoon, and at the end of it my steering wheel isn't straight.

The potential for damage by continuting to be demo'd even after it's been bought is definitely uncool!

Give it a few months, we'll all be sweltering again!

All very Trainspotting

Indeed, women shouldn't get away with that sort of thing either

You guys get changing rooms? I normally have to turn up in what I'm playing in!

That's my assumption as well

Is this not a P2G issue rather than Evri? I've only ever used it to receive something before so I'm not sure what their process is like from the other end.

Mesa Boogie are a budget brand? Also Trace Elliot are owned by Peavey these days so definitely not dead, and definitely not crap.

From experience easyJet are a much nicer prospect to deal with than Ryanair though.

When I lived in Dublin I used to have to fly to my company's Liverpool and Manchester offices fairly regularly. It was hilarious to see all the Ryanair cabin crew more or less running up and down the aisle trying to sell stuff in the brief window between takeoff and landing.

Is there anyone who doesn't believe Ryanair is just a massive cash grab? Michael O'Leary is pretty damned mercenary.

Smaller production batches = less economy of scale = smaller cans and higher prices.

Same, it's pretty much the only thing on it I don't like.

I tried the first strategy on the night by just having bass-amp-cab but the problem persisted. My basses, cab and instrument leads haven't given me any problems since, and Trace Elliot have given the Elf a clean bill of health, so the speaker cable appears to be the culprit. I will definitely be investigating a cable tester if I still have issues after this weekend though.

Fingers well and truly crossed!

It's a Klotz SC1PP01SW - one of these: https://shop.klotz-ais.com/sc1pp.html The speakers seem to be OK, as I say I've used the cab since the incident but using a different cable connector type and it worked fine. I'll try the jack cable in the other socket on the cab at rehearsal on Sunday to see if that does anything, but the cable is my main suspect at the moment. If I still get the issue I'll buy a new cable and see if that works (if nothing else I'll have a spare), then if I still get problems I'll take the back off the cab and see what's what.

The jacks all look pretty intact, well from what I can see since the joints have all been sealed but the seals aren't showing any signs of damage.

No worries, all advice and suggestions gratefully received!
