Yes, you are right.

Already a member, but....New cab for my bassman 100! It's a Fender bxr Spectrum cab. 1x18 with 2x10s. This thing is killer.

Thought I'd ask this here, for all you Bassman experts...
Ok, it's my Studio Bass 200, but, same deal.
She blows a fuse if I turn it on again almost straight away after turning off after use.....
Everything else's functioning normally. It says 6.25A fuse, but here in Aus 240V we halve that-so it's had a 3A fuse in since I got it.
Should I get a 3.5A ? Slo blo?
I know I can simply not turn it off quite so fast-leave in standby, then IF the need to play again arises, I'm sweet, but it shouldn't be a blowin' em
Any thoughts?

I'd like to join this club. I have one. What a wonderful loud amp it is. Mine is a 1965 Blackface in very excellent all-original condition. Including matching small box 2x12.

Very nice indeed. Is that a Bassman 100?

fuzzy beard · #**647** 11-04-2012, 06:37 PM

Paubass gets # 68.

And BradWorld gets #69.

Anyone with any thought re my fuse Q above?
??

rodl, if it's 6.25A @ 120V then a 3.5A slow blow @ 240V would be just fine. Does it blow them consistently with a fast power on/off/on?

Yep. Well, not consistently, but a couple of times- too many.
But, Exactly right scenario- If it's been on-using it for example, for a couple hours, then I turn it off, & have to turn it back into standby, it blows.
I got some (240V) 3.15A slo blo & they seem to have done the trick.

You think even higher, 3.5 slow blow would be fine?

It's working fine so far, 2 x 3hour gigs this last weekend & all well. But I didn't turn it on off on..... I made sure I left it in standby until ANY chance of an encore had passed

That should do it but if it keeps blowing them after that then there's a serious problem. That would scare the mess out of me and I would have someone you trust check all the components in the power section. Yikes!!!!

Hey y'all, my 300 Pro is up FS in the classifieds for $700 with new tubes all around. I'm moving to a 400+. Moar power.

/end shameless promoting

rodl2005 · #**655** 11-06-2012, 04:28 PM

Dunno if the 400+ really IS more power is it?

It's supposedly 500w, I assume that to be peak. RMS should be around 300w. That's not really a step up in transient response and general headroom from the Fender's 300w RMS but... the 400+ also weighs half as much as the Fender and is rack mount. I plan to use the Mesa as a part time bass amp, part time PA power amp. The Fender is just bigger and heavier.

fuzzy beard · #**657** 11-08-2012, 04:53 AM

But its not a Bassman either so it loses like 50 watts of coolness!

christw · #**658** 11-08-2012, 08:17 AM

This is true. I'm still considering keeping at least until I demo the Big E.

Edit: Well, I plugged in for the first time in months and played with the graphic EQ, blended some buzzsaw overdrive (HELLO DOOM HEAVEN), and even used the comp for the first time ever. Now that I've got some of my strength back, it's definitely a keeper.

s_mcsleazy · #**659** 11-11-2012, 07:31 AM

getting to use mine tomorrow
