Well, no fire, but there was smoke.
I was jamming with a friend on Sunday, playing thought the Fender Bassman when suddenly no sound. Initially I thought a cable had a short in it, so I started kicking and jiggling things. Then the smell. Caustic. If you have ever smelled it before you immediately know what it is. Burning electronics components. Panic.
I turned around and saw smoke coming from the Bassman. I ran over and unplugged it.
I'm 99 percent sure a capacitor blew in the power supply. Hell, the thing is over 40 years old. I'm not surprised. At least I have another project...
