blah!
had the house to myself today, so I figured, what the hell. lets crank the monster.
now, usually my house can only take my bass amp with input vol @ 2 and output @ 2. my gig volume is around 4/5. Today I find I'm cranking up to 5/6!! just to compete with a CD player. Somethin's gone bust.
I love this set up, and it's looking to be a lose/lose situation - if I sell the amp I'll get jack all money for it. To get it repaired is gunna be 100 bux (or more!) that i don't got.

the band didnt make one of the main stages for a festival we were hoping to go to in London, might get on a smaller stage, tho...

our mini tour is falling apart at the seams.

I'm ill and have no idea whats up with me.

haagy is lonely... all i got is the DBB to cry on... *emo*

Is it the amp or the cabinet? Figure out which one is jacked and rent or kiss someones ass to loan you one.

I played for a year and a half on a guys mesa head and 4x10 just by being his friend. Then I bought a marshall, fuckin' one trick tone.

pretty sure its my amp. its not my basses or cables.
the only thing that it could be in my cab, would be the tweeter. i turned it off, and still problem persists. seems like a failing transformer imo. could be a tube or two, though, but generally it would sound like ass (which is doesnt) as well as little to no output.

bah!

Well turn it down then you crazy kids. Iâ??m about to vomit on my neighborsâ?? door the next time she blares patsy cline at 4 am. i assume she is having sex to patsy cline, with males. Iâ??m confused Sigmund.

Not feeling well HD? Because of the amp or you got something wrong like a bellyache?

Welcome to the Muzak Industry man!

i hope another bass player from the lineup can lend you a bassamp for your london gig. or you could ask some music shop maybe for a lend (i guess this is why i'm always reading on album credits "guitars graciously supplied by fender, etc". they just lend this stuff out like it's going outof fashion)

dunno - last night i had numbness in my hands, dizzyness, body aches, fatique really easily, sore throat from time to time, tiredness.. wah wah wah...

blood results came back normal today.. gah!

to get me amp serviced, prob cost around 70-110. Blargh. its never been pushed hard, hell at most I only use 200W of the 250 RMS!
gunna pop into the shop today i guess and get it in. they said itd take about a week.

my baby..

Sorry there HD. I know it sucks when you want to play but can't

In my case, they may bomb the hell out of the power grid or EMP the whole province, I'll still be playing my Yamaha

Acoustic instruments rule and they bring out the musician in you. Not that I don't love my electronics, but wood is good!

Sounds like what you need is some sleep. Hey, even a cellblock ★■◆● needs some down time.

It would be more funny if you didn't hit quote twice instead of editing it.

I'm a moron. what can I say

Haag...

What kind of rig are you running? You could be losing some of the tubes and that will make the volume start to cut out on you. You're ill because you dont' do enough drugs, if you feel down, smoke a joint or do a couple lines, you'll feel better, you gotta play on, can't cancel a show because of a minor ailment.

Transformer problems aren't going to cut the volume, it would blow a fuse or short out on you. I was going through tubes like Meatpuppet goes through women and I couldnt' figure it. Then I realized, I had two cabs going into one head and cooking the tubes with a power attenuator and a few effects in the loop but that's it. The slightest thing can cause a little overload on the tubes. If you bought Mesa Boogie, we wouldnt' be having this discussion because they rock...dont' buy crap.
