Lewis USA Who is E. Sandoval?	Jul 15th, 2012 10:51 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Next time you drown it. Don't turn it on for a couple weeks and use a heat gun on it several times during the couple weeks.
Steve Dallman Contributing Member ***** Merrill, Wisconsin Ain't turned 60, but I got my blinker on	Jul 16th, 2012 11:59 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I'll repair it myself. I have the service manual and can do any work myself. The fan vent on top was not a good design. I'll also build a case for it, as compact as I can make it.

Steve Dallman Contributing Member ***** Merrill, Wisconsin Ain't turned 60, but I got my blinker on	Jul 17th, 2012 07:58 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic It is dry. I left it open in the sun for several hours. Unfortunately, I could find no 125V 8A fast acting fuses in my stash, so I had to order some. Nowhere local had any. Hopefully they'll show up before I play Saturday.

sparkymeb Canada PEI (East Coast)	Jul 24th, 2012 06:09 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic > rice takes moisture out of electronics. Just make sure it's not yet cooked! :) I've heard that if your cell phone takes a bath, throwing it into a bag filled with rice will help dry it out. It's nature's desiccant!!
Steve Dallman Contributing Member ***** Merrill, Wisconsin Ain't turned 60, but I got my blinker on	Jul 24th, 2012 01:39 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I didn't power it up until it was dry, but it blew the fuse. When the water went in, the amp was plugged in but not on. I plugged it in last week. It is fried. Plugged into a series lamp it showed a short, and there's over negative 10 volts DC coming out the speaker jack. I'm sure one or more power transistors is burned. Had a gig Saturday, so I used my 1970 Acoustic 370 head, with my EV 15" cabinet (4 ohms, Carvin neo speaker) with a 2X8 cabinet crossed over at 500Hz for mids and highs. It was a hoot. TONS of solid, room filling low end, and enough highs to satisfy my clanky, clicky, stringy high end. But very old school sounding and feeling. I enjoyed it more than I ever did my GK. I've been thinking of getting a Class D, lightweight head (which this 370 isn't.) I'm leaning towards an Ampeg PF500.

Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Jul 26th, 2012 10:45 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I played a GK 700RB II for 4 or 5 years and loved it but my new Genz Benz Streamliner 600 with 6 stage tube preamp (3 12AX7's) running at 300 volts and Class D output (total weight 6lbs) simply blows it away. Much more versatile and tube tone does make a difference. There is a 900 watt version also.
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Aug 8th, 2012 11:09 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Steve, any updates on your amp?
aerodyne USA	Aug 8th, 2012 02:19 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic not to hijack but...bubba,I see you went with tort on ur new bass!
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Aug 8th, 2012 05:13 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Yes, I did and love it! Much better than Black on this bass. Hey, and I am not even a tort person but this is a reddish tort instead of bla brown.
Steve Dallman Contributing Member ***** Merrill, Wisconsin Ain't turned 60, but I got my blinker on	Aug 9th, 2012 01:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Too many irons in the fire at the moment. I'll be using my Acoustic 370 until I get the GK fixed. I had to rebuild my pedalboard to get ready for the next several gigs. I actually want to spend more time with the Acoustic for a while. I will have a decent backup along as well.
Bubbalou Contributing Member ********** USA THE LOW END OF UPPER TEJAS	Aug 9th, 2012 01:15 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Sounds good Steve. Acoustic 360's are/were very nice.
