When there's a thunderstorm, you have to off every single equipment in the house, be it the modem, computer, air-con, TV, radio. And just to be extra save .... i always unplug all power cables from the plugs during a thunderstorm. I have never had a burnt modem or a burnt PSU and never got shocked before QUOTE(Pix @ Mar 18 2007, 08:47 PM) I think its possible ... coz your body completes the cycle flow of the electricity. I can't think of having 100K++ Watts going through your amp and your guitar |

echo try and open the back cover of your gutiar and see if the wire to your bridge is connected properly. . . sometimes the solder will drop if not done properly. . . if not then check our plug points for non-3 pin stuffs. . . happened recently or very long already?
and man, blackangel you're one lucky dude. . . still can laugh. . .xD your guitar now i presume plays much better? your pup just got 1000Volts extra. . . i think can own EMG pups d. . xD nothing fried? cause i'm surprised the pup didn't fry. . your amp for that matter |
