And for the record, I posted the first thread. Then went to practice. Figured out the problem. So despite that there was some great advice on here, apparently it really served no useful purpose any how. Now how do I simply delete the account without having to violate the terms of the site? Does...

Wow. I came here for help and feel as if being a "starving musician" and making some "questionable" alterations is just out of the question. I wish I could just go out and plunk the $750 on a new SVT410HLF or even be able to afford shop time plus parts but it's not like that for me. 1. My bass...

Umm...I've removed the top off of my Ampeg SVT 3 Pro several times, removed the modules and put it back together and it still works, never killed it once. This stuff should be done only by a skilled technician, I'm not saying that I am... Although a decade plus of experience in electronics and...

Tobias? That's a great suggestion. There's the MTD Kingston Artist, also Tobias Growler bass. Single quad-coil Bartolini passive p/u and depending on the year, 2 or 3 band equalizer. Their price range varies on eBay but I've seen some older Growlers on there pretty cheap (around $5-600 or so). I...

All of you putting Ibanez over Music Man makes me want to edit my original post. I had mentioned the local music store in my neck of the woods carrying an SUB. While it's genuinely a Music Man, I walked out of the store with an Ibanez SRX. It's dual pickup in a Music Man fashion but I'd put the...

JimmyM- thanks for the re-cone link. The only choice I had was to outright buy a new speaker. Also takes some guess work out of the process. The gig in question here was back in the middle of May of this year. The cabinet has since sat at the practice pad of one band, used for two practices...

Um, thanks, but I did clearly state the amp still works. And aside from silicone epoxy, what else would you recommend for a disintegrated surround? Yeah, hockey tape and glue. What of it? The speaker has gone but the surround is still in it's repaired state. Aside from putting the problem off...

If possible, try to find a "New Old Stock" MusicMan S.U.B. Noticeable differences are textured paint, chrome plated pickguard and the only fretboard choice is rosewood. But some places might have a few new models lying around in the $4-500 range and they're US made, and very close to an actual...

Incidentally, the power cable has been an issue in the past. The amp's power cable would loosen from the socket but the amp would either intermittently power off or refuse to power up period. The amp is rack mounted and the excess cables are tied, another idea from professional experience. I use...

Thanks for the posts! This thread has been up for less than 24 hours. I have figured out the problem here. BassmanPaul, Sapienerabass and Bstringgrandy- your suggestions were most helpful: After trying a different amp and cabinet, the problem is not within the amp. The problem is...

New to TB, set up an account for this particular matter: While at practice earlier, my Ampeg SVT 3 Pro cut out. All that can be heard through the cabinet, an SVT410HLF, is sound about as powerful as a 1 watt transistor radio. With the top cover removed and the amp powered on, the preamp...
