Re: A Question of Right and Wrong.

Well pre, I put on "Massive Attack - Phat Planet" last night and the bass slam through me against the far wall and staved 3 of my ribs in.

Hi pre65 I live in the North.

Not into DIY, although I did manage to build a WAD valve kit once.
Sounded rather nice for a couple of weeks then for some strange reason it just stopped working..!!!
