     I hope Reverb stays as it currently is, a great place to buy and sell musical gear for musicians and bad guitar players.

     

    That's me!!!  🤣🤣

    My intentions are to solve a problem seeking input from folks, I didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers. But it seems some folks get riled up about things. Hell, I have never bought a "perfect" guitar and I probably never will. I don't think they exist. I don't mind tinkering with things, especially guitars. Now dig this. I drag a solid state amp down from upstairs and plug Les Jr. into it last night. Not a peep of hum, I tried to get it to hum, it wouldn't do it. I plug in my Tele, no hum, I plug in my LG-2 no hum. And I thought to myself-Huh! So I plug into my Vox and I get hum using all three guitars. It was then I discovered  the power supply to the Vox was not flush with the amp. I secured it and guess what.

    Problem Solved!?! Cool Beans!!

    wild bill sure LOVES to use caps LOCK when he composes out his POSTS along with ARBITRARY ellipses.......and INCORRECT advice. the op WOULD be doing themselves a favor to IGNORE any post OF his. 

     

    I think Navy Vet realizes the guy is on a different plane of reality than the rest of the forum.  You think if MadClapper, WildBill... or what ever the many names he goes by wants to sneak in under the radar, he would change his writing style and attitude.

    Congrats Tman!! If I was a betting man I'm sure you dropped a tear from this act of kindness, I certainly would have.

    Can you post some pics of it outside the case?

    You must be virtually staying at Scotland Yard,  Bill (well, you have an appropriate name then!)

    actually there's a pretty park just there where I've stopped for a sandwich before. . Nice old building behind it...if that's a hotel it should be nice!

    I didn't realize that, but yes, it's right next door...

    I'm annoyed that I'l be on holiday when you and the Mrs are also on holiday. Poor timing on my side. I would very much have enjoyed both your company and the opportunity to be a tour guide in almost equal measure!

    If the weather is fine and you have a spare hour I heartily recommend taking one of the MBNA Thames Clippers from the London Eye at Waterloo down river to the O2 and, if you can time it right, the limited service ones which goes all the way to the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich;

    If you only get as far as the O2 then the Emirates Airline, which is a cable-car set-up (dotted orange line at the east end in the link), offers great views as it crosses high over the Thames and, once over on the north bank, you could return in to town on the Docklands Light Railway. All three of these modes of transport let you see parts of the city in completely different ways.

    Pip.

    Thanks Pip, I believe we purchase tickets for just that. Our hotel is directly across from the London Eye.
