Hey everyone! I've been pretty inactive in the forums as of late, been busy I guess.
Anyway, I saw this Thunderbass at Daddy's Junky Music about a month ago and snatched it up. It looked to be in awesome condition and just plain o' looks cool. I played it at the store and it sounded good (and very loud). Brought it to practice and it sounds even better when cranked a bit.
Problem is I'm pretty sure it's electrocuting me? We were running through a song and my hand started to tingle, then it ran down my left arm. I stopped playing the guitar and it went away. I thought it may have been the PA, so I grabbed the mic to move it and it burnt my hand slightly. I unplugged the Thunderbass and switched to my Rockverb for the rest of practice.
About a week later I tried the Thunderbass again. I had the head in standby for a few minutes, then attempted to plug the head into the cab, but noticed that the end of the cable was shocking me if I touched it. I'm not sure if this was because the head was in standby while not being plugged into a cab or what, but I've stopped using the head
Anyone know how to fix this? There's a polarity switch on the front of the head, but I'm afraid to mess with it now haha.
Also, does anyone know how to mount the head to the cab? I've linked below to my photobucket album which has more pictures of the head, cab, and mounting stuff. I think I'm missing a washer, but it may be in the head itself, something rattles around when I move it.
