Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Wild turkeys require real skill to hunt.
What are they hunting that requires real skill of them? :smug:

Last time I went hunting I died from an accidental gunshot wound. Never really felt good about that, and never really decided if it was accidental. And not been hunting since.
When were you resurrected?

Be careful not to run into a howler.

An old college friend was a direct descendent of Daniel.
 
Must have been hunting with Dick Cheney.

I wrote a song years ago called: "Richard Chaney, Sticky Dick". One of the lines sort of references that situation when it talks about Chaney's plan to do away with Bush so he can be the president:

..."It's so simple it can't fail, Just take him out to hunt Quail (Quayle?)"

I see the Overshare Light has just come on, so we'll take a quick break and will be right back.

Fixed.

0k, I come here to beg advice. I am a fery simple person about amplification, so...

First, the gear...

Next, the system. ..
One cable from the Rumble input jack to the mixer main out, plus inputs to the mixer from mic and instrument.

Now, the problem....
Havent used any of the gear in over a year. Started hooking up last night to test, and as soon as a cable went into the mixer out from the amp, I got major 60 cycle hum out of the amp with any volume above zero. No instrument or mic plugged in. There's no hum if I plug bass direct to amp.

So...dirt? Short? Other?

Btw...I swear this was NOT in response to the noble lady's image above.

It could be a bad cable or ground from the mixer to the amp. Try another one first. Is it a ¼” output from the mixer or are you using the RCA out on the mixer to either the aux in or the amp’s input. If an RCA jack is involved, try pinching the ground tighter, then reinsert.



Plug the amp and the mixer into the same power outlet. If not, you may have a ground loop which can cause hum.

Next, break the problem down. You tested your bass into the amp and that works. Test the mixer on it’s own. Plug the bass in, test via the headphone out. Add the mic, try that. Assuming all that works as normal out the headphone jack. Next step is to test the mixer’s main output.
