I did it today, all sorted, the amp sounds better than it ever has! Thank you everyone for your help

Where do I get the inputs from? Also how do I take the front panel out? EDIT: Ashdown are sending me a free input jack.

Hi All, Well my trusted Ashdown head's passive input is broken, I have checked my bass on a practice amp so that is fine and also I can use the active input on the amp. I emailed ashdown about the problem and they just told me to replace it. I opened it up today to check what I had to buy and found that it was soldered onto the board in 6 places. Has anyone done this before to advise me? Or would you just recommend getting a new amp head rather than sending it to Ashdown for service.

Fools.

It is nice though

Yep I have noticed that they choose good construction materials, but the quality of the pickups is a bit lame. Nice basses though.

The Vintage bass, one of the only cheap brands who consistantly produce good quality instruments for a small price. List your precious JHS Vintage basses below[b] (pref. with a photo)[/b] - I myself have a Vintage V4 from ages ago and I am about to purchase either V 1004 or the V940.

I had a nasty buzz in mine and today I shielded the whole of the pickup cavity and control cavity with copper. Worked a treat!

The buzz goes away when I touch any metal part to atleast 90% - the P bass is almost unplayable as it pops and buzzes all the time. Is there a solution to this? I have looked to see if there are loose wires or the bridge ground needs adjusting. But nothing seems to be working, apart from a complete re-wire what could it be?

To be honest the specials on Jools Holland arn't the best reflection of sound, seen as it is mixed for the TV.
