Those YBA- 3 amps are very good, there were basically 2 versions , one with a choke and one without a choke ( you can tell the ones with a choke, it will have a small transformer between the two larger ones ), some people say the ones with the chokes sound different/better, I have 2 YBA-3's and...

One of the specific G code, is the G code, that runs Fanac controlled machines

For what it's worth, I'd pass on that, first too much money for a non-working amp, and a non- working amp is not a good way to learn about tube amps, high voltages, when running, and high voltages from the power supply caps, even when drained some will rebuild voltages to cause issues, my...

This is good to know, I have an Enabler that has foot switch issues, emailed the website months ago, never even received a response, the question I was asking should I send it in, for repair, granted it's out of warranty, but was willing to pay for the repair, but never received an...

I have used my SW 800+ with these cabinets Aguilar DB 112 as a pair, pretty good old school bass tone, the down side is, there just heavy for the size, but an upside, is if you add some extra feet to the sides, you can stack them vertical and have a smaller footprint , when you have a small...

Looks like you got a good deal and have a lot of homework in finding your tone, have fun, the so called modern channel ( the frequency selector ) is the place to start, but the Basman channel has some good tones in there as well, enjoy

I'd say buy used, you'll get a better value, what I use now, is a Mesa Subway 800+ and two Aguilar DB112's, the Subway can get you many different tones ( if you spend the time to explore the tone controls ) , and the Aquilar DB112's kind of do the "old school ", bass tones very well, the only...

I have a Jazz bass, and I loaded it with the "fender custom shop 62 " pickups, I usually run them with the neck at about 80% and the bridge at 20-25%< hum is really not an issue in a band setting, and they sound very good in a band mix, if judging them alone with just in the bedroom/living room...

I still have my Highway One Jazz bass, one of my favorites, I believe the necks received the stiffing rods in the second series of the Highway One, , as a side note, the Highway One series evolved into the American Special series, ( I believe the American Special series , started with the...

I'd say don't limit your self to just a few amps, try as many as you can, you may surprise yourself, as a side note, I have several old amps, that are 15-20 years old ( Fender Pro 800, Thunder Funk 500 ), and yes they sound good, but getting them repaired, when they fail, is always a crapshoot...

Take this for what's it's worth, I was trying out a Subway 115 and there 410 cans in a Guitar Center store, in Houston, and they had a Subway 350, got them to hook it up to the cabs and played with it for about 30 minutes or so, and it was easy to dial in a good time ( I currently have the 800+...

I've had many amps, and that last two ( Subway 800+ & Fender Basan 800 ) really responded well to using the first stage gain, I kinda like a little hair in the signal, but the amount to use depends on if your using an active bass, or passive , also the type of breakup varies, some amps have...

Let's see .... best 410 cab , I'll add the Berg HS410, have had this for many, many years, it's really a good sounding cabinet, has high sensitivity, and has the ability to hand 800 watts, the only drawback is, it's heavy, and has the rat fur covering, but heck, it wears like iron ( I use the...

On that amp ( I used to own one ), the so called overdrive channel, has an adjustable mid, and it's a good channel to get other tones out of that amp, the so called "Bass Channe'" has the baked in tone of a Fender Bassman, but the other channel can get some really good tones out of it, yes, it...

The ones with the choke ( small transformer between the larger transformer ), sound the best
