Yes a bass, with fishman preamp, I've played the guitars. Some I like some I don't. A friend of mine has owned a few. Just never saw or played the bass version.

Any one ever play one? I've had a Yamaha so3 keyboard on Craigslist for a while with no luck, some guy wants to trade. I've never played one of these and frankly don't need it, but I figure I could find use for it for a little while and then sell or trade it once it loses its new factor. So is...

replace just the bridge, see if you like that and how it compliments the origional p. can always try it out and replace the p at a later time if you then feel it necisery

i definetly agree that they dont make tubes like they used to, ive worked on many twin reverbs from the 70s that still had the origonal tubes and still sounded great, then ive worked on some brand new ac 30s that need tubes after a year. ive never a/b an old one vs a new svt back to back so i...

i only really wanted to know if anyone knew more about ampegs fault setting mode as in either it apsolutly ment that it was a tube or if it would go into that mood for other issues as well before i ripped the thing apart wich would save me some time and effort.

i do have the tools to do it and do know what im doing, so i will be takeing it entierly apart tomorrow and try and diagnose it to find if it was just a bad tube or if there was more to it that would cause it to blow.

at tbird, yeah i know that, its a cheaper easyer fix at the moment to get the new tubes and make it work, after that i was going to replace tubes one by one until i could isolate the problem. and then figure out what the real problem is or may be. and no i have not seen the threads about tube...

yeah i was figureing it was the power tubes. just wanted to get a second opinion from someone who knows a little more about these amps then i do. also regarding the warranty, dont have time to wait for it to be fixed, this amp needs to be used regularly and as a backup. and its the corporation i...

one of the house gigs i mix at has a 6 month old ampeg svt classic head, the fault led on the front of the head is blinking obviously meaning that it has an issue. looking for someone who knows or as owned one of these heads, need to know if its the power tubes, or a more internal problem. lets...

im a big fan of daddario strings, i use a few different kinds. for you id suggest trying out there steel round wounds. ive never actually used them but they are supposed to be alot more bright because of the steel rather then the nickel. also you may want to consider a no load tone pot(wich you...

that pretty much hit the nail on the head right there. im a live sound engineer and obviously bass player as well. ive used many different mics on bass cabs. i also 9 out of 10 times di and mic it. thats the best way to get the best of both worlds. i have preference towards certain mics. but you...

well the operation was a success, the problem was exactly what i though just had the wires going to the lead pickup reversed. thing sounds killer now, thanks for everybodys input and help. thinking the next mod will be a 2 way switch and run two seperate caps, probably a vintage style one and a...

for an update, i replaced the stock pick up with the qp and every knob and switch works but shes buzzing a bit, im thinking i accidentally reversed the leads that are soldered directly to the pick up coil. anyway to test this with a meter to find the wrong wire or just do trial and ereor until...

you could try backing off on the compresion a bit, sometimes if its two high it can choke the low end. ive never used that head so i dont know how hard the compressor hits at that setting. in my opinion though, i wouldnt think an on board preamp would be necesary, i also use a sansamp. and its...

alright thanks for the input, basically confirmed what i was thinking. i think im gonna go with the qp and add two wires to it so that i can still have the s1 and utilize the pot. though like line6man said i had also thought about doing the whole two cap thing with it. i also have already moded...
