Re: Avoiding death while working on amps ?
I bias live amps all the time, using a bias tool, multimeter, and miniscrewdriver with a plastic handle.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, I couldn't find my plastic-handled miniscrewdriver, and used a solid metal one to turn the plastic bias pot. DOOOOOOHHHHHHH! Dumbest goddam thing I've ever done! As the surge of electricity ran through me, I jumped away from the amp, but it scared the livin crap outta me!! I'm lucky I didn't get connected to it and die!
