  1. It sounds very SBL, I get daily emails to sign up to their Technique Accelerator course when I have no intention of doing so.
  2. That sort of issue could happen anywhere though. I recently booked my tyre fitting through Asda at Wilco Motosave, who are normally very good, but they forgot to book me a fitting slot, so I wasted three hours of my afternoon, and at the end of it my steering wheel isn't straight.
  3. The potential for damage by continuting to be demo'd even after it's been bought is definitely uncool!
  4. Give it a few months, we'll all be sweltering again!
  5. All very Trainspotting
  6. Indeed, women shouldn't get away with that sort of thing either
  7. You guys get changing rooms? I normally have to turn up in what I'm playing in!
  8. Is this not a P2G issue rather than Evri? I've only ever used it to receive something before so I'm not sure what their process is like from the other end.
  9. Mesa Boogie are a budget brand? Also Trace Elliot are owned by Peavey these days so definitely not dead, and definitely not crap.
  10. From experience easyJet are a much nicer prospect to deal with than Ryanair though.
  11. When I lived in Dublin I used to have to fly to my company's Liverpool and Manchester offices fairly regularly. It was hilarious to see all the Ryanair cabin crew more or less running up and down the aisle trying to sell stuff in the brief window between takeoff and landing.
  12. Is there anyone who doesn't believe Ryanair is just a massive cash grab? Michael O'Leary is pretty damned mercenary.
  13. Smaller production batches = less economy of scale = smaller cans and higher prices.
  14. Same, it's pretty much the only thing on it I don't like.
  15. I tried the first strategy on the night by just having bass-amp-cab but the problem persisted. My basses, cab and instrument leads haven't given me any problems since, and Trace Elliot have given the Elf a clean bill of health, so the speaker cable appears to be the culprit. I will definitely be investigating a cable tester if I still have issues after this weekend though.
  16. It's a Klotz SC1PP01SW - one of these: https://shop.klotz-ais.com/sc1pp.html The speakers seem to be OK, as I say I've used the cab since the incident but using a different cable connector type and it worked fine. I'll try the jack cable in the other socket on the cab at rehearsal on Sunday to see if that does anything, but the cable is my main suspect at the moment. If I still get the issue I'll buy a new cable and see if that works (if nothing else I'll have a spare), then if I still get problems I'll take the back off the cab and see what's what.
  17. The jacks all look pretty intact, well from what I can see since the joints have all been sealed but the seals aren't showing any signs of damage.
  18. No worries, all advice and suggestions gratefully received!
  19. The issue occurred with a ¼" jack lead. The Speakon lead I used with the ABM worked fine.
  20. I've used a single Two10S with a Trace Elliot Elf in both rehearsals and at gigs and been told to turn down while playing in a five-piece band. In short - it'll be plenty loud enough.
  21. It was intermittently and frequently cutting out for a couple of seconds at a time during our first set on NYE, but as it was always during songs with the full band playing it was annoying but livewithable. The start of our second set was A Town Called Malice and there's no hiding place during the bass solo in the middle! On the night I tried (in order): 1. Checking all the power and patch cable connections on my pedal board. 2. Checking the instrument cables at either ends. 3. Checking the amp power lead was still plugged in. 4. Checking the speaker cable was still plugged in. 5. Bypassing the pedalboard using both instrument cables 6. Changing bass Step 6 worked (although there was a little blip with the second bass at one point) so I thought it might be a loose connection within the bass, but I took it apart post-gig and all of the connections were sound; plus as I say it had glitched once with the other bass as well. So I sent the amp back to PMT under warranty and thence it went to TE, who examined it and declared it free of defects. In the meantime I used the first bass and cab at a band rehearsal with my ABM and a different speaker cable (the ABM takes Speakon but the Elf doesn't) and everything worked fine. With the benefit of hindsight I should have used the cable I used on NYE, but that's now my suspect for testing at next rehearsal on Sunday. I will buy a new cable before then as well to make sure I have one I know works!
  22. I managed to rule out everything in the signal chain up to the amp at the gig, including bypassing my pedal board, and now the amp is in the clear it's the bits after it that are now in the frame. Cable tester sounds like a good shout though, might have to look into that.
