    NAD! Mesa MPulse 600

    Sorry I took so long. I unexpectedly got called back to work and service has been spotty. @Wasnex, I miss spoke. The voltage is not across pins 1 & 2. But measured to ground on each. And yes. There was a voltage drop of approximately .1V. I haven't had a chance to poke around again...

    NAD! Mesa MPulse 600

    I got a chance to poke around tonight. I keep forgetting to tell the story of the acquisition of the amp: While out of town for work. I found the amp on marketplace of my residence. In the add the seller mentioned a possible bad tube. I had my wife make contact and pick it up. The seller...

    NAD! Mesa MPulse 600

    @agedhorse I definitely appreciate the words of caution. The last thing I want to do is make my working equipment not work. Because I wanted a feature, that I my never use, to work. I don’t plan on bringing out the soldering iron anytime soon. If at all possible. I would like to diagnose...

    NAD! Mesa MPulse 600

    @Wasnex that appears to be very helpful. You might be right about the ultimate end usefulness. If I ever get a foot switch, it will probably be a few years. And even with one, I don't know that I would be switching all that often. So the desire for the amp to function as designed is more of...

    NAD! Mesa MPulse 600

    Well. New to me. I've been wanting one for years. But could never justify the purchase. Found one locally on marketplace for a steal. It has some road wear. But sounds exactly the way I hoped it would. The only real issue I've found with it. It seems to be stuck on the Solo channel, (or...

    Ever get a dead string in a new set?

    Had a dead E string in a set of Rotosounds. They replaced it promptly.

    Are strings affected by being removed and later restrung?

    As mentioned. Brand will impact your results. I’ve swapped Rotosounds onto a few different basses without any issues. Each blue steel set I’ve had didn’t survive a restring. GHS and SITs don't seem to mind a restring.

    having sexual relations with a bass???

    Is sexual relations with your bass more or less moral than sexual relations with the drummers girlfriend?

    How do you see your bass guitar(s)?

    As tools, some tools have more sentimental value than others. Like my first one. I do have a favorite set of wrenches. A favorite hammer or Hamer. Some I could never sell. Some I don't sell because I don't have a better tool to replace it with.
