    Ok... so my great bassist friend ( :rolleyes: ) has just got a TMax Peavy head. Great!

    But after a few hours of playing, he suddenly gets no sound from the cab whatsoever and... in his words..."teh cab had let off an awful smell" .... no pop or buzzing, just no sound at all. He tried it with other basses, and tried the head plugged into another cab which worked fine, apparently, and nothing worked plugged into the 4 ohm Peavy Cab.

    What on earth could have happened? If the driver were to have gone, I would have expected buzzing or somthing rather than a clean cut off. It sounds to me like some wire terminals have come off or somthing like that...

    So confusing!

    Fryola!

    That 4 ohm cabinet is now a 400 MegOhm cabinet.

    Hmm... interesting.

    The cab is supposedly rated at 400W over 4Ohm... and the amp says it runs 350W over 4 Ohm.... what could have happened?
