Angelus

If you’ve paid for a setup that you didn’t like, then I’m sure any professional would help you if you took it back. They might help you find the right setup, so they know and can do it for you again. But might want paid something for the extra work. It’s all subjective, there’s no right or wrong setup, each person enjoys their own preference. But once you have the setup you like, you need to find out what the measurements are, so you can tell anyone that’s working on any of you basses in the future.

Normally the guitarist, as he has a coo stick guitar that he needs to change and sings almost all the songs, so wants to start easy and warm his voice up. It’s never, ever been a problem though, so never thought about changing anything.

Good and bad news, good news is, transformer is ok. Bad news, need to find the part of the circuit that’s failed and fix it. I’ll report back on here when I have updates.

Amp is now in for repair, so once I find a replacement part number, I'll post it here.

Best gig of the year so far, local venue with a function room and was raising money for charity. Couple of other bands on too, really enjoyed watching some school kids doing their own material, fantastic effort and I’m sure they’ll get further than I ever did with music. Enthusiastic crowd and we played well. Nothing else booked this year ( drummer has other gigs ) so looking forward to next year now.

Walking on stage the other week and the amp died. Anyway, I need a transformer for the wee Crate BT100. SLME 94-291-40 is the part number on the transformer, anyone know a replacement? With hundreds in the RS-components catalogue, most under £20, is there a replacement available? Any help appreciated, thank you. I DI’d the bass into the desk and had a tiny bit in the monitor, but hardly heard a note I played all night. It was Halloween and my first time playing my new headless Stienberger too.

Bass amp blew up as I walked on stage, so never heard a note I played all night. I could feel the bass through the stage, from the subs, but don’t know if it was right or not. Still, people danced and clapped. Had a driver, so managed a couple of pints after it. Not the worst night ever and fun with all the Halloween fancy dress.

Dual bass played and sound guy too, very difficuilt to know what's going on out front, but needs must and we don't get many complaints or critisism. Line 6 Stagescape desk, so I can run it from my iPad and don't "need" to have it next to me. LD Maui PA, small but capable for pubs. Cheap monitors, or in ears normally.

I spent last night in Glasgow listening to The Sounds of Cream with Ginger Baker's son Kofi on drums, Malcolm Bruce on bass, Jack's son and Eric Clapton's nephew, Will Johns in guitar. After thinking the gig would be cancelled, I recieved a notice saying the guys wanted to do the gig. Quite emotional in places, but such a brilliant live performance and thouroughly enjoyed it. I'd go and see that show again, night I won't forget for some time.

Was in a Marque and it was roasting. I kept feeling something run down the back of my leg and was so relived to find out later it was only sweat. Last song was A LongWay To The Top, so standing 3 feet from bagpipes just rounded it all off nicely. 😂

Played a wee local festival, that’s been going for a few years and seemed quite good, yesterday afternoon. Had a great time and went down well, however a raging hangover from the night before, that I had to fight off, made slightly less enjoyable. 🙄 Lesson learned there, won’t going out the night before a gig again. Seems the older I get, the better I was. 😳

Bought an amp stand, very well packed and posted with tracker number. Above and beyond for a wee transaction, thank you Chris.

Going to see Terrorvision and GUN on Thursday. Playing an open air gig in Glasgow, which was ambitious when it was booked, but looks like it might be a warm dry evening. Quite looking forward to it.

Done my first gig in 20 years yesterday, outdoor stage at a local Highland games festival, doing some covers. Strange sort of experience as the weather was very, very windy, cold and the audience was about 50 yards away in a beer tent. Still, done now and we have a gig a month over the next 4 months, so it might just be worth doing.

20hz to almost 15k hz at 47 years old. I have tinnitus and have been diagnosed with conductive hearing loss. Strangest thing, while going up through the frequencies it seems to pan, happen to anyone else? Still rehearsing with bands and doing sound for a few friends, so it’s only going to get worse unfortunately.

Repaired this last week and tested at rehearsal last night, all good and back in action again. Thanks for the help Andy, appreciated.

Brilliant gig, loved every minute.

Steely Dan last night, fantastic night. Worth the ticket fee, for a change. Had Stevie Winwood as support, he was good, but didn’t have a bass player, so that didn’t impress me.

Not going to get to it today ( SWMBO has other plans ), but looking at the parts list, the actual jack is discontinued. SR1600 Parts list The part number, 3JK1C12DZ, has been replaced with 3JKB6S001-CH. However, a really nice chap at astrings has phoned a supplier and they might have some originals in stock? Just waiting to hear back from Adam and will see how he gets on.

Ah, that sounds like I might have one then? I should have waited on your reply before ordering more. 🤣 I can switch 11kv transformers, but three pins and some solder has me confused. 🙄 I'll strip it tomorrow and see how it goes when I de-solder them. Thanks Andy.
