Count Bassy

So Phil Lynnot had already been dead for 8 years when Sargeant Pepper taught the band to play?

Jeff Berlin signature combo and a chainsaw should give you what you want.

And shaking his hand means he couldn't get away while you punched him.

And he didn't even invent the light bulb. Joseph Swan had a UK patent on a light bulb 10 years before Edison got his in the States. Even the US Patents offics later decided that his patent was invalid. Yet, you get the question in a Pub quiz and you know they want Edison as the answer.

Possibly most sound engineers ears are shot to pieces from a life time of abuse?

I'm not sure about this. There are some albums out there that I think most people would acknowledge as a classic, whether they personally like it or not. eg: Sargeant Peppers, Transformer. I guess it depends what you call a classic album, perhaps I'm thinking Iconic rather than classic.

I refuse to use Amazon for anything due to the way they treat their workers.

I don't know. That might expose a dry joint or shake a connector loose, but I wouldn't have thought it would do that damage. I guess we'll never know.

That one at 1300 has been appearing on Ebay for ages, with the price gradually being reduced. To my mind £1300 is ridiculous, I would have thought more like £500 - 750. £130 is still a brilliant bargain for a brilliant bit of kit.

Brilliant amps. I have the 7400 (Yours looks like the 7200). Brilliant sound, lots of flexibilty, and massive peak power. If yours is the 7200 its 200W continuous, and 2000W peak. It's a class H amplifier, so when it needs the extra power it switches to a higher voltage power supply. I suspect you'll find it deafening (We're talking Marshall Watts here, which I think is similar to a Trace Elliot Watt). Gary Twigg often plays through one of these as well.

There's "technical write-off" (eg parts no longer available) and "financial write-off" (ie cheaper to buy another one). Your tests would suggest that the damaged fuse holders are the only problem, so it's not a technical write off. I can only think that he thinks it would take too long to strip it down and rebuild it. Depends how much it would cost to buy another one I guess. Possibly he didn't feel up to the job and didn't want to admit that. If you're handy with a soldering iron you could Solder a new fuse holder onto the stubs of the old one. I do wonder how internal fuse holders like these got broken though.

Rather than conductive glue you could just solder the fuse to the remains of the holder.

Newtone also do round cores!

Yes, sorry, it was a bit abrupt.

RMS can also be used for current, and can be used for power as long as you take account of the power factor. Hopefully not patronising note to those who don't know: Power factor takes account of the phase difference between the voltage and the current. In a pure resitive load load this is '1', but when you get inductance and capacitance involved it is usually less than one. Fairly easy to calculate, or measure, with sine waves, but very complicated when you have a 'random' signal as in audio. It can never be more than 1.

Depends on the actual wording you used in your questions. According to your own post the first time you asked on the phone you asked if it is good for UK use. They answered correctly that it was. When you got there you asked if it was good for unlicensed use. They answered correctly that it needed a licence . As I say, it depends on exactly what you asked them on each occassion. Obviously if they'd qualified their first response by saying it needed a licence than that would have been good.

How many consultants does it take to chnage a light bulb? None. Since when did a consultant change anything?

It's an output jack.

Probably felt sorry for you.

Not so much at Giogs, but I'm amazed how many pretty decent restuarants follow up a good meal with really crap coffee that tastes like mud (well it was only ground only 10 minutes ago, sir)

Who he/she?

Sorry to perpetuate the OP's embarrassment, but I've just been directed here by a mod.

Bit of a continuity error at 37 - 39 seconds in.

+1 on Robin Trower

Could you leave the crease but strengthen the area with some glue to prevent it getting worse?
