allighatt0r Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Right, so some background info, I've just played two outdoor gigs, and have had my amp die on me at each gig! My guitard owns and runs a music shop, and knows The Amp Guy in Norwich. We sent my amp off after the first death and found that the resistors had gone and there were dry solder joints. Took it to our next gig, where there were power cuts during our outdoor set. and the amp promptly died about halfway through that. This time, the transformer had gone. The band after us said that their keyboard kept resetting.... So, the moral of the story is... Invest in some surge protectors people!!! Note: I've since sold the amp on ebay (after it being repaired) and have picked up a beast of a replacement.

WHUFC BASS Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What amp was it and what did you replace it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) It was an SWR Black Beauty, and it's been replaced by the amp in my sig. The reason for choosing the amp I replaced it with is because it had just been traded into the guitard's shop and looks like new!
