Well I installed a new (higher rated) thermistor (even though the original one seemed fine), I’ve checked for any shorting on the speaker connections (even inside the amp) and that all seems fine, however the amp still goes into protection mode almost immediately after powering up. Help, I’m at...

I’ve updated the firmware and reinstalled the spectacomp TonePrint all to no avail - the amp kicks into protection mode after about 5/10 minutes every time now…😢 It’s looking very much like I’ll have to take the plunge and attempt replacing the thermistor (as detailed somewhere else in this...

Both Speakon and IEC plugs are perfectly well seated. The amp was connected to an extension lead with nothing else running from it… 🤔

I’m late to the party but, I’ve just acquired a BG250-208 as a smaller and more manageable rig for acoustic gigs, etc. So far,I’m liking it and I successfully managed to beam the Spectracomp Toneprint onto it (which is more useful to me than the chorus it came preloaded with). This evening, I...

I managed to get hold of an EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Wah/Tone Filter for a pretty good price - it is rather good!

Oh wow! This is a thing of beauty!

My MIM 50's P-bass upgraded with BadAss II bridge and Lace Sensor pickps... ...and here in action at a festival last year...

On another note, Heisenbass has kindly supplied me with a scan of his Force 8 pickguard so, I have already started preparing a router template in order to cut a new one for my bass. In the meantime, I have a query about the neck on my newly acquired Force 8 - it needs a fairly radical bit of...

Well, I'm lucky enough to play in a three piece rock band, we write all our own material and have enjoyed playing together for many years. We've had quite a few small festival gigs over this last summer, (as we usually do), followed by a month or so off to spend time with our families, etc. In...

Thanks MEKer, very happy to have found you guys and be accepted into the club!

Thanks for such a speedy and helpful response MEKer - I'm glad I found you guys!

Wow, that's fabulous news - thank you Heisenbass, I'd really appreciate that! At some point, I'm planning to cut a new pickguard from 3ply w/b/w plastic just like the original...

Hi there, Having recently acquired a 1983 Washburn Force 8 (serial #830920) does that make me eligible for an Official Washburn Club membership number? Here's a photo: And on another note, I'm guessing a replacement stock pickguard is just too far a stretch so, is anyone able to provide me with...

Hi guys, Many years ago, I purchased a second-hand Washburn Force 8 - it was my first bass guitar. Some years later I decided to part with the Washburn and play a more recently acquired Japanese P-bass copy. As time went by, I came to regret parting with the Washburn, (especially as I had never...
