    what (budget) cab and head should i get

    I have a Marshall MB450 which I like a lot, and it was relatively cheap. If I played stoner, doom and stuff like that, I would LOVE it.

    Marshall MB series input jack replacement

    I need to replace the input jack on my MB450 head, does anyone know which one of these I need? I just don't have time to open the amp and check.

    Problem w/ Marshall MB450h

    Bollocksed input jack. Never would've guessed, but the amp roars now, that's all that matters.

    Music Man HD-130 distorting at low volume

    It was indeed a tech who did the work, I stood by and smoked cigarettes like an arsehole. I miss that amp, it was absolutely brutal.

    Music Man HD-130 distorting at low volume

    Had the same problem with an HD150 years ago, a couple of blown transistors in the preamp. The repair was simple and cheap, if memory serves.

    Preamp pedals & amp EQ

    Oh, I'm not worried, I'm perfectly happy with my tone, I'd just like to know if my approach goes against widely accepted practices.

    Preamp pedals & amp EQ

    I've got the MXR M80 and I'm quite happy with it, I don't see it leaving my board any time soon. For rehearsals, I keep the bass at 2, maybe 3 o' clock, mids at 1 o'clock and I cut the treble slightly. I keep the amp eq dead flat as I see no point in eqing my signal twice, and this approach...

    Problem w/ Marshall MB450h

    No sir, it's an Aerodyne JP, 100% passive.

    Problem w/ Marshall MB450h

    Of course, but to be honest I'm hoping it's something trivial I could take care of myself. The nearest tech is a couple of hours away and my schedule has been insane recently, I'd like to spare myself the drive if possible.

    Problem w/ Marshall MB450h

    Hi all, My Marshall 450h distorts rather heavily on both channels, it's impossible to get a clean tone out of it. Does anyone know what the issue might be? Thanks for any and all advice.

    Orange Terror Bass 500 Owners - What pedals are you using?

    Sorry to parachute in so unceremoniously, but how loud is the Terror Bass? Can you play a small to mid-sized no PA club with a loud drummer and guitarist?

    Tolexing a carpet-covered front-loading cab

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. If I get this cab I'll probably go with Duratex.

    Tolexing a carpet-covered front-loading cab

    Hello all, first post here! Thinking of picking up a used Eden 4x10 which seems a perfect match for my amp, but it's covered with carped and that's a dealbreaker for me. I've got some Tolex and the basic skills needed to recover a cab, but I don't quite imagine how I'd go about covering the back...
