Maybe you should turn it up to 11.

Ireally do not understand why but the words "wise" and "'ass" spring to mind NS Surely if the item's part number includes a 10 and it is rated at 10 watts then 10 is the highest he can turn it up to
or am I missing something??

It was a reference to the film "This is
Spinal Tap". However, this question really should be in the other discussion forum.

Get yourself a screwdriver and a can of Neutrol and spray all the electrical contacts and switches.

Probably have to replace the tone switch...

And while you're at it, get a new patch cord.
Check out the rec.music.makers.guitar newsgroup. They could tell you exactly what's going on.
