Hi Sam, I used the same configuration of the Bassman 135 which is ultralinear, I'd like to get a sound in between from Pentode and Triode. Thanks for the observations, I will try those. I have to get some output tubes, I am orientated to JJ 6L6GC, anyore tried in the bassman 135? Rgs Francesco

Hello All, after a lot of tubes HI-FI project, I decided to built a Fender Bassman 135... All Trafos have been made by a company handmade, OT 2000ohm UL, MT Trafo same specs of Fender just a bit bigger 360V-700mA - 60V bias, 6.3V-7A, 6.3V-2.5A, and choke of 5Hr-700ma. [Invalid or Expired...

In fact aluminium is used for High Voltages cables, where is easy to transport for big for big volumes and easy to put in place. Why to use kitchen foil, when the aluminium tape is selling around €5 for 9m by 5cm...

Aluminium resistance is around 26 nOhm and copper 16 nOhm. I personally think that if the shield is done in a good way, then the result is good with both metals.

Hello, well I will try to explain as easy as possible step by step what I did... 1) Put the foil in the PUs cavities , then solder a thin cable of the shield done. 2) Put the foil in the electronic cavity with a piece of foil outside it long enough to make contact on the chrome POT plate...

There is no shield on the PUs cables, but are twisted from the source to prevent hum. At the moment I am quite happy with the sound and no hum at all... I am going to leave as it is now. Last thing is, putting some clear nail varnish on the magnets of the PUs. Francesco P.S. By the way, how...

I have tried to solder on aluminium foil, with no luck. But I searched the web and there are some kind of Flux that can do that. I didn't know... there is always something to learn.

I could achive 0.8 ohms with aluminium, the connection has been done with the wire on the foil and I sticked another piece of foil on top pressing a lot. I play it LaBella Nylon string, and need a good shield as they are isolated as you know. Normally I use aluminium boxes even when I built tube...

Hello All, this post doesn't want to be a tutorial on how to shield a Jazz Bass there are tons of document online, but is the way I did it. Mine is MIJ JB that I bought as my first bass in beginning of the 80's, firstly I defretted it then changed the PUs with SD SJB-2 Hot. The instrument...

Gracias por el link amigo, yo hablo espanol muy bien.

Also I have seen HB CB-110x lighter and smaller and 110W, only for €129.00 I might go for that one to play at home.

Shame I can't try them can only buy online. I am going around but didn't hear anything nice, might be the setup they have...

Sorry just a little joke... When I started there were only few good amps, Trace Elliot, H&K, Peavey and many more. Now with these new brands I get lost!!!

Thx for the tips... but Genz Benz althought looks nice is expensive for an home amp. I think that Harley Benton is made by Beta Aivin, someone may has one of them. Jeans&Beans looks a great amp!!!

Hello All, I am new at this forum. I play bass since 15 yrs old, now I am 40. Recently I pick up again the basses that I have and I am in need of a cheap good combo for home. I have a Fender Jazz Fretless and Steinberger Hohner B2AV. I was checking these amps from Thomann own brand and found no...
