Good luck holding the fort down
Dear Big Poppa,
I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things happening when I get home. Her mobile phone rings and she steps outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her who called she gets evasive.
Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way. I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got very angry.
A buddy of mine plays bass in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my amp. That's when I got the idea to find out for myself what was really happening.
I said "Sure, you can use my amp but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she comes into the venue and who she comes in with". He agreed.
Saturday night came and I slipped behind my Ampeg SVT2 Pro and 810 Cab to get a good view. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp.
It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the others.
Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to a technician?

Ok.....
I'm completely bored now.
Dammit!

That many basses and bored? That not right.
Clean and tune them. That alone will take up several hours.
Cheer up Ritchie, its just a few days.
Right now I'm sitting in a hotel several hours from home with no instruments.
