Dear Abby...
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 guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my guitar 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 Marshall JCM800 half stack 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 power tubes was not glowing as bright as the other 3.
Is this something I can fix myself or do need to take it to a technician?
Thanks
Very Concerned.

You know, I had the very same thing happen to me - amp problem and all! I saw the guy and my wife in the crowd, so I decided to kill two birds with one....Marshall. Someone took a pic..

Over in the main forum, there's a thread entitled, "A Customers Brings In An Amp....". I was 1/2 way expecting it to be a joke along the lines of, "A guy walks into a bar...". Somehow it reminded me of this joke I hijacked from another forum. I have to agree with T-nit, 1 click left of reality.

My step-daughter would kill me if she found out I said this: but her college (PE credit) bowling class has a team tournament with some interesting names- my favorite team name she told me was "Two Christians and a Jew" being the heathen I am, I couldn't resist following that up with: "walk into a bar..." :laugh: (I had to duck and cover after that one)
