    Need to work on a Fender Super Twin but I'm a little rusty

    Thanks for the advice. I won't be leaving it in the original cabinet configuration, an open back just doesn't cut it for us. I'll be doing a head-only modification and using it with two 2 X 12" cabinets -- or something along those lines. With that much power, I want to spread the wattage among...

    Need to work on a Fender Super Twin but I'm a little rusty

    My apologies for such a delayed reply, I've been deeply involved in some other things right now (and sick as a dog, too!). I'm going to have to check the bias probe tester, it's an old one with no name or other markings on it. I don't have the schematic (yet) for the bias mod.

    Need to work on a Fender Super Twin but I'm a little rusty

    I just bought a Super Twin at a redonkulously low price because it wasn't working, and I fixed it with such a simple repair that I'm turning cartwheels. Now the real work begins: I need to bring it back to life and then convert it to a Studio Bass (my dream amp since the mid '70s). The latter...

    Fender Super Twin Bass Head

    Hi, John. I wasn't able to read all the posts but very interesting. I plan on doing the same thing: I just bought a Super Twin and will be splitting it up into two parts; and changing components to the specs of a Studio Bass. I've wanted one of these amps ever since I saw the literature back in...

    Think the music of today sucks? I call bull poop

    You'll find good and bad in every era, and every genre. My brother was a DJ for a small AM station in Cleveland in 1960, so I've had an ear to the ground for a long time. We used to think of the '60s as the pinnacle of rock music, but if you go off the beaten path a little and listen to some...

    Music video on a low budget

    Dirt Dog has the right idea. Do multiple takes, beginning with the 'master shot' than play it over again as you get close-ups, reversals, etc. Then sync to the music for the edits.

    1st gig...at 54 years old

    Wondeerful! Keep playing! I'm quite a bit older than you and I'm still pounding out the bottom end.

    Do you prefer a pickup that's close to the neck or the bridge?

    It would totally be situational, on the type of music you play. Some types, like early rock, do better with the booming sound of the pick-up near the bridge while metal is better suited to the greater bite near the bridge.

    Thanks! There was a time when Cleveland was the last stop before hell, but since then I've seen worse places.
