The P Bass pickup is based on Bobby Vega's 60's P bass. Where did the J come from and how well does it match volume and tone wise ?

I may just keep using the WA as a preamp. The problem is that the power usage may be high as the power amp in the WA is still being powered. As for posting the WA off to a service centre, I suspect it will cost a lot of money for them to diagnose the problem to find out that I have to pay a...

Thanks for the reply. Would non Mesa service centres be able to get schematics to the WA ?

Interesting.. I have no idea what the B side is but thank you..

How much power is the amp using if no speaker load is present and can the fan then be disconnected due to noise ?

OK thanks Andy.. Looks like it is too much of a gamble.. She is destined for land fill..

I never said I wanted to DIY anything. I was just hoping for some thoughts on options before sending it somewhere. If parts are in short supply then this is something where I may end up with a bill for hundreds of dollars and be in the same situation I am in now. If the power amp cant be fixed...

OK.. Ta.. I am just trying to assess options without having to send it somewhere first. Postage to a service centre and back is about $100. Plus another $200 for them to look it and diagnose the problem. Then maybe $200 in parts and $200 in labour to fix it. It starts costing as much as the amp...

I know it might sound crazy to the class D hating mob, but I think this sounds better running the Walkabout preamp through the class D Crown amp. It is just as full but faster and tighter. Andy - Am I right in suspecting that the preamp cannot be run on its own as it is not just the gain but the...

I did patching a 1/4 cord between the send and return. I was just trying to guage what might be involved in fixing it. Would it still produce sound if a mosfet was damaged ? If this is several hundred dollars to repair it is not worth it. Is there a way of unplugging power to the power amp board...

I have an old silver faced Walkabout which I like so much I bought the WD800 to replace it. The other day I went to try the Walkabout again after months of non use. The speaker lead may have been dodgy and shorted the output. Not sure though. With a much better lead I tried it again and now the...

Does the Tonex One have enough output to drive a power amp (like a Crown XLS1002) ?

Stunning......

I know this is an old thread but listening to the video sounds like a room mode to me. When you excite a room mode you have a longer reverb time as a result. Hence why the note continues on. It is the note just bouncing off the walls. It may sound like it is coming from the cab but is not. I...
