[quote name='Alien' date='Nov 1 2010, 11:12 PM' post='1009140'] That tells me your speakers are both OK. What sort of setup do you have? Mixer amp/ powered mixer or separate mixer and power amp? If it's the latter, check the patch cables between desk and amp, swap them over and see if the problem moves to the other speaker. If it does, the problem's in your patch cables. If that makes no difference, swap the patch cables [b]at one end only [/b]and see if the problem moves. If it does, the problem's in your mixer, if not, it's your amp. HTH A We have powered speakers, wired straight into desk. tried different cables, still dead and new power cables, still no sound untill we used the speaker as a bass bin which requires the use of a different input, so i suspect the original input is where the fault is.

[quote name='ironside1966' post='1009208' date='Nov 2 2010, 01:02 AM']My advice to you would be check all the fuses plus the mains lead, as I can gather from your post the speaker is working so if it is not a fuse it needs to go in for repair, as to what it is I doubt if you will get an answer without someone qualified having a look. I think the PA is active speakers so do the cabs fire up? If Yes check inputs with a mic or CD,MP3 player if no, check all the fuses plus the mains lead, as I can gather from your post the speaker is working so if it is not a fuse it needs to go in for repair, as to what it is I doubt if you will get an answer without someone qualified having a look.[/quote] yes it is a powered speaker. powered up ok, no sound, not even a hiss. swapped leads, still no sound, then swapped power cable this blew circuit-breaker. Re-set powered up ok again but still no sound. We then wired it up as a bass bin from other speaker worked fine. I think it must be a problem with xlr input.

At our gig on friday, we wired up the P.A. and on powering up noticed that only one side was working, not even any hiss could be heard. Changed speaker leads, no change. Then tried changing power lead which blew circuit breaker, re-set it and tried new power lead again still nothing. So we ended up using the damaged speaker as a bass bin in satalite mode off of functioning speaker, worked fine. Does anyone have any idea where to start looking for the problem. Will it be on the xlr input. p.s speakers are HK Aktors Thanks in advance Ash.

Or you could do what our guitarist done. He had won some Marshall amp for a really good price seller obviously not happy, ignored all communication and re-listed amp a week later. Guitarist put in a massive bid at the last minute. Won item, did not pay,ignored communication for about a week, then sent an email saying, annoying isn't it.

[quote name='bartelby' post='1002729' date='Oct 27 2010, 05:17 PM']I'm in a band with just one guitarist. Some times I'd like a second one to pop in for a few bars then bugger off again.[/quote] get yourself a Akai unibass. Then you become the rhythm guitarist. Great piece of kit for a three piece.

Only covers.

Couldn't have been any more helpful if he tried. Bought a Mark Bass stand, and wouldn't cash the cheque till i was satisfied with it. Can't be fairer than that. Cheers Ash.

[quote name='cd_david' post='910994' date='Jul 31 2010, 10:13 AM']That was the second song at my first gig, we were obsessed by SLF, the bands name was Back to Front, which we played as well. Dave[/quote] So were we, SLF and the Clash think we played 8 songs 4 from each band.

1980 buccleugh hall Langham 15yrs old Gotta getaway by S.L.F. Could never get the bass solo bit right after the intro, but nailed it that night. Think it was the tartan bondage trousers. Four bands playing all from different villages. Needless to say it ended in a riot, with a pay phone being thrown on stage as the last band were finishing their set. Great night.

Can anyone tell me the size of screw to attach the speaker to the Eden Metro. Thanks Ash.

Ok cheers, bass players think we know every thing.

While in the pub with the band the other night, our sound man said that you dont need speaker cable for powered speakers, because the amps were inside the speaker so no high voltages were travelling through the cables. I thought he was wrong but didn't say anything at the time, because i would get the your just the bass player reply as usual. Can any one clarify this, in simple terms, remember because i'm just the bass player. Cheers Ash

I have emailed mike in regard to buying a new speaker cheers. Ash

Thanks for your help everyone.

ok will do cheers

i have just contacted flynn amps in Glasgow regarding a new cone. They said they needed the manufacturer and model of speaker. When i told him it was an eden EC 1060XL he said no the maker of the speaker not the amp. I cannot see any other markings on speaker other than eden, and i thought i read somewhere that eden made their own speakers. if anyone can clear this up i would be grateful. cheers Ash.

Sorry i missed your gig in Annan, have been working all weekend will try and catch you next time your in this neck of the woods. Hope it went well. Not to sure how well ska/punk would go down in Annan.

I think i agree with the majority here. Backdrop and bass drum at max. My avatar is our drummers Bass drum skin, and i think it looks the businness.

Well truss rod has been tweaked a couple of quarter turns tonight, and everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks for all the advice Ash

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='788818' date='Mar 28 2010, 08:08 PM']You need to adjust the neck,by grabbing it very tight and push the head back as far as you can. That's the singer strangled, after hitting him on the head a few times with your bass I would Loosen the truss rod (turning left) and do what the other basschatters have said. Have you checked the nut? (not the singer) Just incase a piece has chipped off after being knocked.[/quote] No a friend took my bass last night to take it to the man who does all the technical stuff for us. He is on holiday so i will pick it up tomorroe night and give it a good inspection. hopefully just be a tweak on truss rod and all back to normal. Then to fix the singer, it might take more than a little tweak.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='788598' date='Mar 28 2010, 04:08 PM']Whereabouts in South West Scotland are you? Does anyone here know if Alan at ACG in Moffat does setups? If its any consolation, we started off Friday Night's set with 'Don't Believe a Word' by Thin Lizzy but I started playing 'Wishing Well' by Free. Don't remember ever doing that before. Whoops.[/quote] I am 15 miles from Moffat near Lockerbie. Never thought about that, could be a possibility if he does set ups.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='788593' date='Mar 28 2010, 04:02 PM']It does sound like the neck is too straight, should be a small adjustment though and shouldn't take much doing... Not a hard job unless something sinister has gone off that we don't know about. Just be careful, small turns are all you need. I'd give it a quarter turn. Tune up. Check it. Repeat if needed. If you have done this 3 or 4 times (truss had 3quarters - one full turn) and nothings changed, then take it to an expert. Shep[/quote] Think that's what i'll do. And if it all goes tits up i know who to blame [ The f***ing singer]
