    Jack Casady repair, ***??!!

    I think there's a loose wire on my input jack. How the hell do you get in there to repair it? I'm thinking the only solution is to unscrew it from the outside, let it drop. Then either shake it out of one of the F-holes or use some sort of long tweezer to get it out. Then fix it, then using that...

    How do YOU make a Tbird sound good?

    I'm mainly a P-bass guy. They're the best basses I've ever played. But not to sound shallow, Tbirds are probably the coolest looking bass ever created. I rarely ever bring one out by itself, but sometimes if it's not too much of a hassle I'll bring it as a second and play it on a song or two...

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    Was no fuse in it. Tried both 4amp and 8 amp, slow burn and fast acting, kept blowing right on power up. Ended up just taking it in to get fixed, haha. Thanx to everyone for helping, but it seems it's more than just the fuse. Hopefully not too much $$$. I'll give you an update when I get it back,

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    Just rereading Anderbasses post. So only one bed works at a time? So I can put an 8amp fuse in the 100~120 bed and a 4amp fuse in the 220~240 bed (I'm assuming double the V rating=half the amp rating)? And only one side will work depending on if I have the voltage converter set at 115 or 230...

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    Awesome, thanx! That clears things up for me a lot. So just so I understand this, I'm using the 100~120 fuse bed because I'm in America. But whether I was in America or UK for instance, I'd still use an 8amp fuse, I'd just put it in the 220~240V bed if I was in the UK (and switch my voltage...

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    And also, just to reiterate my first post. Nect to the fuse bed it says: ~AC INPUT 115V/60hz, 300W FUSE: 8A/250V But that confuses me because the amp beds say 100~120V and 220~240V. The closest thing I can think of is the 250 is referring to the 230~240V bed. And that I should put an 8amp fuse...

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    Thanx for the reply. I have the manual already but it didn't answer my question unfortunately. First off, I live in America, L.A. to be precise. My predicament is I just got this amp but it came with no fuses, so I can't look at a blown fuse and just replace it. There's a voltage converter...

    Fuse question for hartke 3500

    Alright I'm new here and this is gonna be pretty detailed. Thanks to anyone in advance who can help. I have a Hartke 3500 head. My fuse sled has a space for two fuses. On the fuse sled it says FUSE FOR, then an arrow pointing to each space, the one on the left says 100~120V, the one on the right...
