    Straplocks?

    I also used Schaller straplocks. The screw started stripping in the wood after a while. One time the pull knob fell off and I could not get it screwed back on because of the spring pressure. It was then, that I noticed the hook thingy had quite a bit of wear. Took years though. The overall...

    Worst amp?

    Aah I just had to try after seeing this topic.. I plugged my bass into my very first amp again: a Bogey GL60B. To my suprise it sounded pretty good after some tweaking. I think it might be fun to revisit old bass amps that you thought sounded crap... if you still have them. I never knew what I...

    Tell me about Japanese Fender Basses

    How light are these Basswood Japanese Fenders? I saw a Maui Blue MIJ for sale at 8lbs. Are there even lighter ones out there? My Mexican Fender from 2016 also weighs 8lbs, slightly under 3,7 kilos. That one is supposed to be alder? I mean, the lighter the better. I played Squiers and cheaper...

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Thank you! The rose is even engraved in the plastic, it seems to hold up well. The glittering is a bit much but I love it, sometimes it scatters the stage lights all over the place 😝 Beautiful colors, contrast with the cold colors of the parking lot with the warm tones of sunburst on the...

    Using the Ampeg PF-20T as a DI without a speaker

    I have a PF50T at my desk without a speaker cabinet for 2 years now. I use the transformer out DI on the back silently with headphones and it sounds fantastic!

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    My first bass is this Gypsy Rose, my mom bought it for me back in 2014. I will never sell this one. It's entry level but plays suprisingly well. I learned to do a proper setup on this bass too.

    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    Anyone here had the filter tip out of the rubber plug? It happened to me last friday when I tried to put them in my ears. I accidentally pulled out one of the inner filters and ofcourse it disappeared into thin air right at the beginning of the set. Without them, the earplugs don't do anything...

    Fender Bassman 100T Chapter 3

    Okay so here's my experience with the amp that I have had for 2 years now. I don't use in ears but are planning to!.... After numerous bar-sized gigs I can safely say that the 100T has just about enough power. I pair it with a Fender 810. The two of them stacked on top of eachother are...

    Fender Bassman 100T Chapter 3

    Somehow mine has been stuck in cold mode for a few months now. I have the V2 autobias. I have no idea how that happened. I have had the amp for 4 years now, second set of power tubes. I haven't used it on stage for a while since we have cabsims and lugging it around doesn't make sense. In the...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    Thank you for these kind words. I too hope your situation will get solved. I fortunately have not experienced the thin sound. Your case is worse than mine! :eek:. Hopefully the 3rd time will resolve your issues!! My amp still sounds good, you wouldn't even notice something is wrong as all the...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    Ah that's a bummer, I never knew there were so many problems on the automatic bias setting. Unfortunately I was not aware when I bought the amp. All the LED's are blinking simultaneously and the LED's for 'cool' and 'normal' are on aswell. Manual states that if they keep blinking for more than...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    So I got the amp back in yesterday. I took it to the store last week and they replaced something.. it was a Fender OEM part, something was wrong with the transformer and it was the source of the hot temperatures. Sorry I have absolutely no knowledge of this stuff! But they fixed it. It's running...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    Yeah I indeed put the switch into silent record when without a cabinet. Maybe at silent record, do I need to use it at anything different than 8 ohms?? Because I just leave if at 8 ohms because the cabinet is 8 ohms aswell. The manual didn't state anything like that though. But it is just...

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    How often have you changed tubes since then?

    Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

    I will do that right away. Perhaps the fan is not working. The people at Fender might know what's going on. Tube amps get hot but this is coming from that big block right behind the master knob? I think this is that dummy load they're talking about in the manual. It gets super hot.. the tubes...
