By the way... after the ridiculous amount of screwing (and I'm always prepared to admit that I didn't notice an easier way to open the Walkabout...) ... I replaced both tubes (valves) with two very old Mullard ECC83s from my collection of new-old-stock valves (yes, I know, it's tragic but I...

Mine blew a valve (tube) tonight and I'd guess that the total number of screws I had to remove in order to get in and replace it was about 30. Is this a record or am I an idiot? Either is entirely possible.

This is so very silly. The word is in the Collins English Dictionary. Get over it boys! ohmage (ˈəʊmɪdʒ) n 1. (General Physics) electrical resistance in ohms Collins English Dictionary - Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003

You guys are way too clever for me, but I think I have more than enough information now, thank you. And when I need another lexicological lesson I'll certainly know where to come ... ;-) ohmage (ˈəʊmɪdʒ) n 1. (General Physics) electrical resistance in ohms Collins English Dictionary -...

Thanks RickenBoogie (and everyone who has contributed). That sounds like sage advice. My problem being (and I should have explained this before) that I have a perfectly decent 8 ohm Ashdown 1x15 which I'd like to use as an extension to the Walkabout. I don't want to buy another extension...

Thank you so much guys. I can't believe the number of helpful, thoughtful replies I've received in about an hour. HolmeBass, you're right: it is time I learnt this stuff and I'll make an effort. Meanwhile, my take from this is that I can run safely an 8 ohm cabinet from my Scout assuming the...

Hey guys. Really sorry about this question. I've been playing bass for 45 years but still don't understand anything about Watts, Ohms and the rest. I have just bought a rather wonderful 1x12 Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout combo. I wanted something lighter than my Ashdown 300/2x10/1x15 rig...

So, thanks to Caca De Kick's advice I spent a little time cleaning around the jack input, with a burst of switch cleaner. The result? She's working perfectly again! I would never have though of such and elegantly simple approach. That's why i LOVE forums like this one. Thanks all and...

Hi there. I'm a new member (today) so please don't flame me if I'm posting this is the wrong forum or haven't searched properly (I've tried!). I own a number of lovely basses, but my main gigging bass is a gorgeous Wal Custom 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wal5stringkauri.jpg)...

Thank you very much for your responses and advice. Much appreciated. I will post on the Wal board and also check out the things you recommend, Caca. Thanks again.

I would if I could. Can't even find the link that says: "new thread" in the Wal Club. And yes, I'm registered and logged in. Either I'm even more stupid than I thought or the forum is really not very intuitive! ;-)
