Lol - cheers anyway - it’s good to laugh on a Monday😊😁

Hi All, I need to change the pre valves in my DB750 - anyone got an opinion on what I should use and where to get them please? Many thanks Pete😊

Bought a Hipshot D-Tuner from Sean - top guy to deal with - highly recommended!😊

Well I pulled the trigger on one of these and it was delivered last Saturday, gigged it in the evening. Have to say after a bit of tweaking it sounded superb - well chuffed, I sent a feed from the deep channel into our drummers sub - plenty of heft. Interesting to read about blending the channels, shall try that later, cheers for the heads up.

Purchased a Kiogon wiring loom from Gareth - nice & straightforward transaction - thanks Gareth

Anyone tried one of these yet? General consensus?

Bought a lovely P Bass from Christian - exactly as described and a super easy transaction. A real nice guy to boot, Cheers Christian Pete😊

Bought a Levys strap off of John - top fella to deal with 😊 Very happy - cheers John

Thank you for the comprehensive reply - it is appreciated 😊 The weird thing about those little sleeves is that I've heard them rattling like that for probably around a year - I've never experienced any abnormal noises through my 412 or the Super 12T that immediately preceded the Big Twin - I think I need to use my back up MarkBass F1 and try it at gig volume just to make sure there's definitely nothing wrong with the cab - I've got myself doubting whether the cab sounded correct when the singer picked the amp up. I know the valves were replaced around about 2 1/2 years ago, I tend to do around 40 gigs per year - what would normal life expectancy be of the valves please? Thanks again. Pete

Hopefully have added links to pics.

Cheers I'll check it out😊 https://i.imgur.com/d2jtOfa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tE97Jca.jpg

Hi All, This is a bit of a weird one but I'm hoping somebody out there may be able to shed some light on a query I have with my DB750, so I recently got a Barefaced Big Twin 2 Gen 3 cab and when I tried out the amp/cab combination I was getting a horrific noise that initially made me think that the horn on the cab was faulty. I tried attenuating the horn and this did seem to ease the symptom, although I did think I could still hear it. I asked our singer to lift the amp/tuner off the cab and by doing so the noise definitely disappeared. This got me to thinking that something was loose in my rack, having checked, everything was found to be secure. The thing is I have heard a rattling noise coming from the rack when setting it down on the floor, so I've taken the rack apart and the top off the amp to try and identify what's going on - I've found out that inside the amp there's a row of resistors marked on the board as R103 - R108 and R109 - R114 that have some kind of insulator sleeve at one end of the soldered joint and it's these little insulators (or whatever they are) loose and moving back and forth slightly. So I don't really think there's a fault as such just a certain frequency (fretted D at the fifth fret of A string) that sets them off buzzing and rattling. I guess what I'm after is whether anyone else has experienced anything similar and whether I need to try and isolate the rack from the cab? Kinda like a gramma pad I guess? The frustrating thing is I really like the HF horn cranked to the max but by doing so I just get this terrible rattling noise that spoils the cab. I have take photos of the offending parts but the last time I used Photobucket it seemed to corrupt my phone, so if anyone can suggest another image hosting software that is easy to use on mobile that'd be helpful too👍 Here's hoping that someone may be able to help😊

Bought a Barefaced cab from Neil - a totally hassle free transaction, deal with confidence. 👍😊
