Thanks guys, yeh haha i thought not but just thought maybe someone could lead me in the right direction.

I am a big fan of fixing things myself so might just download the schematic and get started. Google is an electrician or whatever you want it to be.....

Thanks again.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

I have an ashdown mag300 4x10 bass amp and has been running fine up until last week.

It suddenly blew a fuse and obviously stopped working right during a practice. I then replaced the fuses and switched it on and it blew again straight away.

I figured the guy at the hardware store game me the wrong fuse so I went and bought more, but one after the other the fuses blew.

I have a feeling this is a bigger issue then a bad fuse... haha

Any ideas?

thanks alot alan and singemonkey. clears that up, i suppose also use post eq DI could be an option, then you getting the eq and maybe some amp tone..

appreciate

apologies. new to this. wasnt sure on the correct topic catogory.

Hi all,

i have a question in regards to valve bass amp and bass amps for live performances. i really fancy valve tone, im a bassist and i have a old vintage 50 watt valve bass amp, crackles a bit and the speakers in the cab are definatly not intended for bass. now the question i have is... is it practical to have a valve bass amp for anything other than recording. i mean live the sound guy insists on di, which therfore cancells out the bass amp, am i correct in saying that? so basically having a bass amp on stage would be almost a waste i guess. Do any sounds guys mic up bass amps anymore? i mean, if you di out you kinda leave your tone in the hands of the sound guy.

i also see the amp makers seem to be going with valve pre amp and solid state output, any ideas on decent sounding amp that dont cost 15k plus?

thanks guys
