    Weird issue with hearing Radio Stations through amp

    This is not even remotly connected to this thread, BUT it was mentioned never to remove the ground from the power cable... A thought just came to mind... Most all power cables have ground plugs, but why doesnt high amperage household vacuum cleaners have a ground. They all use two wire power...

    Mesa Subway 115 Crackling/Buzzing

    I was going to add my 2 cents and mention, Did you check the battery in your bass?.. but I don't think that's the cause of your problem .. Nevermind, move on, nothing to see here' ;)

    1965 Ampeg Portaflex B-18-X

    Ha... I remember borrowing an Oliver from a music store while between bass amps for a big gig and was surprised when the amp head rose out of the cabnet with a push of a button. Everyone was amazed.. I kept raising and lowering it... didnt take much to pacify me back then. ;)

    Practical Case for Mesa Subway Amplifiers

    I tried the same thing with a Pelican equipment case.. worked great but the case was heaver than the amp... thereby negating the purpose of buying the amp to begin with. (to save my back)

    Would this work as a headphone amp?

    https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MA400--behringer-micromon-ma400-monitor-headphone-amplifier I use this for practice with the band. they go in one channel, my bass goes in the other and I can control the volume of each.

    4x10 speakers sounds bad, but I don't think they're blown?

    I played thru a Hartke 8x10 with an Ampeg B2R 250 watt amp and it sounded like a speaker was blown. It was a rehersal studio we rented once in a while. The next time I bought my own amp head, a Mesa WD800 and the cab sounded fantastic.. no buzz. I'm thinking the amp they used wasn't enough power...
