It has happened a lot with me. I noticed it happening when I was replying from mid stream. So I went to the end of the thread and it autocompleted my previous response window. Then I had to submit and worked.

That's not normal. You might have a problem with the cab side of things if you are frying amps.

If the fan isn't coming on when it gets hot.... Fan needs to breathe.

Then he's not much of an example of a big band situation.

But do they have a set weekly rehearsal night? And if he's not available do they rehearse without him?

^ precisely.

Further, having found a sweet spot for the HPF you can experiment with the bass knob, which may change the optimal HPF spot a little. You might well find it gets more bootilicious with a little more bass and a tweak up on the HPF. The problem with that is you wind up competing with the kick drum and 80hz turns into mush.

Understatement.

A Nissan Leaf or Toyota Camry hybrid will take the cab, not sure about bass in case dropping in.

The kind of HPF that sits unannounced on board amps is better described as a Rumble Filter. The Thumpinator likewise. Take a variable HPF and turn it up until something sounds missing. Then turn it back down until it isn't. In my case it winds up somewhere between 60 to 70hz with 5 strings. The low B sounds full without being flabby.

Be available to join the band. Be unavailable to join the band. That's all there is to it.

Same rehearsal night isn't going to work. Swing bands need their bass player.

High pass fllter takes out useless flabby mush. See if you can borrow a rack crossover unit with 1/4", before they are all chucked in skips. Amp fx loop to crossover, mids to fx return. Set low range to around 60hz and if it's a three way set the high split up in the gods so you don't miss your sizzle.

Maybe you are and you're only getting your just desserts even as the pot calls out the kettle??? Had the same problem with a much younger campaigner and his vintage Marshall, though it was not so old then. The pots were shagged so no tweaking could be repeated and it was never right. At least he understood a show was not the time to shag about getting it just right. The other guitar player gifted him his old Zoom when he upgraded. Cue even more shagging around at rehearsal with the two of them twiddling patches.

Yep. It's there now. No headphones here!

Good work. Seems 'nobody' is buying them unless sold for less than scrap value.

If they didn't send you a new Allen key best ask them what the correct size is before same again.

Dead to me then.

12At7's have half the gain available from memory. Do you still get full volume at the point they hit breakup?

What are the stock tubes?

005-3309-000 https://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bridge_genuinefender.htm Says it not a straight swap on vintage V strings. Maybe yours is??

No idea but it's trying hard to look like Fender so maybe someone's cast off basic stock one would be ideal?

The guitarist in an old old band used to do this thing where he kicked in a patch of his multifx unit and leaned on the whammy while moving into the speaker and expression pedal. Sounded like a jet winding up for take off. It was ''everything on 11'' in your face but nothing fancy, some combo of chorus flanged distortion with feedback and the whammy. Might work on bass but I pity your speaker. HPF for sure.

Oulda fooled me.

When I hear some kid's music clear as day as he walks by with his earbuds cranked I think to myself there goes a future case of messed up hearing.
