Any excuse for this banger!

Can you post photos of both sides of your board so we can see if there’s anything you might have missed?

What in the risen Christ is that?!?

Yes, Brave is a wonderful album, but I'll always have a soft spot for the Fish era, as this was during my formative years.

Cab was a Trace 1153, but it was still underwhelming with their smaller 2x10 (2103H) too.

As far as 'worst amps' go it's obviously the Carlsboro thing was was at a mate's house back in the '90s, but in a very close second place would be the Ashdown ABM300 that I bought (when the transformer on my Ampeg SVP blew) brand new and the buttons kept falling apart (literally split when I pressed it) so I returned it. In its defence it sounded GREAT -really clean, punchy DI sound with tons of 'heft', but I didn't have any faith in the build quality. I also had a Trace 150W GP7 head that sounded great but couldn't keep up with my drummer at the time, but maybe I was expecting too much from it.

I came across this problem when fixing my DHA pedal - my solution was to have some solid core wire (about the same diameter as a 24 or 26 AWG multi-strand) and to strip abut 30 cm of the insulation off it. Next I heat the solder pad using a temperature controlled iron and feed the solid core through the hole in the PCB - as it travels through the hole it will pick up any errant nasties or stray wires that remain. Once the solid wire is through you should have a nice clean hole, then I used my wire cutters to chop the 'spent wire' off, leaving the rest of the reel ready for the next use. You may have to do this a couple of times, but I find that it works well in tight spaces where you can only realistically desolder the solder side of the board due to the component side being too full. Hope this helps.

plug your bass directly into the Laney, then go from the Laney to the RETURN of your Ashdown - that should bypass the Ashdown preamp entirely.
