    Worship Bass Pedalboards

    Signal chain goes: Coffee -> brain -> Fender Jazz -> Korg tuner -> Klon Centaur Clone -> Fuzzrocious Dark Driving -> Wampler Ego Compressor -> Ampeg Micro-CL (which is mic-ed and line-out to the house PA/subwoofer) The Klon Clone was built by my guitarist friend that I played with back in...

    Ampeg Micro-CL cabinet speaker replacement

    Strangely enough, they are indeed soldered on the Micro-CL. Maybe Ampeg was super confident in this cabinet never needing replacements or upgrades haha. But you're right, I've never seen soldered in speakers on other Ampegs. Yeah, they are 16 ohms each and when I ordered the replacements from...

    Ampeg Micro-CL cabinet speaker replacement

    Thanks! I think that's probably the safest route to go. I have a soldering iron so the replacement should be easy enough. Thank you everyone!

    Ampeg Micro-CL cabinet speaker replacement

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some help from you guys. My bottom 10 inch speaker on my Ampeg Micro-CL cabinet started crackling the other day. It happens at all volumes and the bass sounds fine going into other amps. Since it's only the bottom speaker crackling and not the top, I think it might...

    Mini/Micro Combo That Can Provide Some Bottom End?

    I have an Ampeg Micro-CL stack and it is terrific. Its a 2x10 setup and can get quite loud if you need. If you don't, it still provides great punch and is within your budget. http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/microcl/

    Why does everyone use Fenders?

    Great point! Add the following: 6. Fenders are widely available. 7. Any luthier will know their way around one. 8. Tons and tons of variety (colors, 4/5 strings, active/passive, fretted/frettless, etc.)

    NBD: 50's Precision Bass + MY story about coming home.

    Extra holes in my pickguard would drive me absolutely mad! Great looking basses though - makes me yearn for the straighforward-ness of a P bass. Blending jazz bass pickups isn't always easy or rewarding!

    This looks like something the Silver Surfer would play!

    Show your $400 and below bass gems!

    I bought my MIM Fender Jazz back in 2001. It was a floor model that Sam Ash was willing to sell for $375. I hope that was a good deal! Since then, I've put a new pick guard on it and swapped out the stock pickups for DiMarzio Model Js, which I chose with the help of TB. Next upgrades are...

    What color Pickguard for a 3-tone Sunburst Fender Jazz?

    My wife says that I'm "good at the internet" :hmm: You'll find a ton of recommendations on manufacturers but a lot of it depends on how much you are willing to spend. I went with http://www.dragonfireguitars.com for my black pickguard and it fit perfectly on my 2001 MIM Jazz bass. It is hard to...

    What color Pickguard for a 3-tone Sunburst Fender Jazz?

    I personally went for black because it was easy to find and cheaper than tort. I think it looks pretty good because the pickguard mirrors the black outer edge of the bass: As for the picture you are looking for, a google search yielded this: (from this TB link...

    Did you keep your first bass?

    I bought my first bass back in high school with the money I made at a summer job. 11 years later, its still my only bass! I've bought better amps over the years and have upgraded the pickups and changed the pickguard once or twice but its still pretty much the same 2001 MIM Jazz Bass I bought...
