fleabag

Well, as the amp is behaving itself, there's no need to fiddle with it anymore, but just for the record, none of the 3 Vols ( 2 x channel , 1 master ) had any affect on the loudness of the crackle. It's been fine and dandy these last couple of weeks. Thanks aged h and Thanks all !

Side jacks should go straight into Room 101

I'm a righty, but use all 4 fingers of my left fretting hand, so i'd have a bit of trouble without the little finger, though the way humans adapt to such things as lost digits lost limbs etc , is amazing, so i would agree with the posters who say learn to play without the little pinky

Shame i missed out on new standard JB CF neck, but i have had the pleasure of owning a vintage Status. Unique axes and British too. Glad Rob Green is ok, and wish himself and Dawn all the best vibes

Good grief - all becomes clear. I stopped reading / waiting for any front page messages, as before , it just said they're not taking new orders, he will update at sometime, so not really an indepth explanation, and basically i havent bothered reading the front page for a while. I guess that message is not that old. Well, it's a relief that Rob is ok. I wish him well. 2nd hand Status basses are set to rise, i reckon

I must have been waiting for Status to update for months and months about their necks, and they never do. I've been after a jazz CF neck for a long time I gave up. I suppose SG might be concentrating on full basses, where the money is, thats if they get going again. I can see them going t*ts up if they dont sort themselves out

I dont have enough basses/guitars to bother with hangers, but i wouldnt use them in any case. They'd just get covered in dust, so i leave my 2 ( currently ) in their cases

Yup, did the single valve re-seat, but many of the solder joints are hidden, so unless i dismantle the amp, there's no way i can get to them. I did press the IC's I'll leave it alone now, as i seem to have sorted it, but i dont know how

After poking and pushing, static/crackle seems to have disappeared, and that's before i put a short cable in the master FX send / receive channel, so i guess i dont need that FX send sockets cable anymore ? I guess time will tell

No swollen caps, no burnt smell, connectors that i could reach without dismantling PCB boards reseated

Looking at the hundreds of solder joints, and their location, i may have trouble in that respect

Thanks ! I'll have a go at all that - the amp is Genz Shuttlemax 9.2

Just to say, the amp plays fine otherwise. No loss of volume or EQ , and the crackle/static doesnt get louder with amp volume

I've checked the suspect bits - speakon cables, guitar cables, and swapped amps, and its definately the amp. It has dual speakon outs and the crackle/static is apparent on both outputs. It's also a dual channel, ( Tube + Fet ) and swapping channels makes no difference. What is the next procedure for a home detective before it goes to a pro ?

I've had dealings for gear with Brian and the man is a scholar

Nursery Crime for me is the killer discette

Another cracking bass, Rob.

Hmm... McCready zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I could get away 10mm of bush thread, but i forgot to mention, i'm after full size pots. Strangely, i have a pair of Solid shaft 10mm thread, 6.35 shaft, CTS 250k Lin pots here, and i need another pair, but JHC, i cant find them anywhere. I'd really like matching brand, but no luck, hence looking for non matching pair

I'm struggling to find some 250k Lin pots with a decent thread length on the bush, and also solid shaft. 15mm - ish threaded bush length is what i need. I checked for the quality names , CTS, Bourns.. but nothing pops up. Either they're split shaft, or short threaded bush, or both. Tried all the usual suspects - Axes R Us, CPC Farnell, RS Online, Mouser Elecs , guitar shops blah blah. Even Thomann .. Can anyone point me to a source ? Ta

Dont forget to buy a portable winch. TE 2x15 1524 = 103 Lbs - ish

Get one of the Shuttlemax dual channels. Awesome
