This gig is going to be awesome! Can't wait! xx

I had a similar problem with a bass of mine, the soldering on one of the pots went dodgy. Giving it a bit of a rattle usually kills it. Try fucking around with the controls on your bass while plugged in to a practice amp or something and see if you can replicate the fault. It's a MAG300 410 combo at the tunnels, same head I use, and they are fucking workhorses, I'd be really surprised if that thing crapped out under normal operation. xx

Either a dodgy lead or a grounding issue it sounds like. xx

TBF there are plenty schematics etc for amps of all types, if you can source the components and have a decent knowledge of analogue electronics then it should be feasible. However, fault-finding it would be a total bastard if you got to the finished product and it sounded like balls. xx

Making an amp: Easy as fuck. Making a half-decent amp: Pretty difficult. Requires good components and reasonable skill, it's a fairly expensive way to do it and no guaranteed results. Making a valve amp: Hard as fuck and very expensive for a project that could end up being completely unusable. xx

+1 for awesome merch. Great bunch of lads. All the best. xx

Buy it. You know you want to. xx

Spare ticket. someone wants this. you know you do. might be a lift available to go with it if you're not JakeBassist. Xx

What is says on the tin. Face value is £16.50, so that's the going rate. Edinburger Picture House, May 7th. xx

To get online with Assassins Creed 3 you need a uPlay passport. I got a 3 day free trial with my £40 brand new fucking game, after that expires I believe I shall be expected to fork out more cash to get online. Fuck. That. xx

I like the way you think! xx

I just got a free money card, and since I'm going to rack up a few hundered quit of debt on it buying a bass, I've decided to add another few hundered to that total taking the wife away somewhere nice as fuck for our anniversary. For my birthday she took me here and I can not say enough nice things about it, so I'm gonna have to push the boat out. Looking for a nice, luxury country hotel. Money isn't a huge issue as I'll be paying it off over quite a while, but I expect to get what I pay for. Pretentious food and a Spa package ideally. I'm thinking Ardoe House might be a good shout, but trip advisor rank it comparatively poorly.. anyone have any recommendations for places to look at or avoid like the plague? xx

I just noticed this comment. You're wrong. xx

Shotgun. xx

Last time I checked in at Aberdeen airport, the group of four guys in the queue before me had SIXTEEN fucking suitcases to check in between them. SIXFUCKINGTEEN suitcases. Cheeky shitrags even triend to contest the extra charges involved. xx

I'd be up for a touch of Unsane goodness, depending on the date and ticket prices, natch. xx

I hope I can get on my sexbox tonight, I want to kill you over and over again. xx

Fixed. xx

If it was that long ago, it'd've been part of the huge drive from Guinness to get people trying it. For a long time it had a reputation as being a drink for alcoholics and old fucks (outside of Ireland, anyway), rather than the trendy, man-about-town image it has nowadays. The PR folks at Guinness did a fucking cracker of a job making the stuff popular! xx

Had to be done. Weird that it's 13GB worth of loss though, usually it's only a couple of gig tops for firmware etc. xx

China? xx

In my experience, no. I'm sure there are combos that let you do this, but all the ones I've seen the speakers are hardwires, you can unplug the amp part of the combo and use it with an external cab though, but usually the cable that you can unplug from the built-in amp/head isn't long enough to plug it into your own head. Theoretically though it'd be easy to knock up a 1/4" M-F extension lead so that you could do that. xx

It's both, basically. Last time I was in there were folks stocking up for restaurants or similar (that or they have families of 50) but there were also a few folks with handbaskets buying odds and ends. It's also cheap as a motherfucker, if memory serves me correctly. xx

STOP USING "YOUR" INSTEAD OF "YOU'RE" xx

Fucking raging I didn't get the kill, would have looked EPIC on the final killcam. xx
