You wouldn't be willing to sell/mail me one, wouldja? :D I've been dying to experiment around with different tubes in this sucker, and to know that there's one out that (it sounds like) meets my tonal goals is good news. And what's that switcher-box thing there at the bottom?

Where did you find the Mesa tube? I can only seem to find them on eBay, and in the U.K....would prefer to buy not from eBay, and somewhere in the U.S. if possible.

Thanks, 32 is great. I will take a look, and I will post pics once it's back from the shop - I decided to finally bite the bullet and get a pro set-up.

Hey guys, I've actually been a T-40 owner for a while now, and will post pictures shortly, but I was hoping I could get some advice from you guys. I recently left the bass at a friend's house, and when I got it back, the pickup-selector switch was broken off. What kind of switch do I need...

According to [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] website, you can purchase the schematic from Sunn (aka Fender.) Might be worth investigating? EDIT: This website will sell you a packet of info including a schematic, as well, supposedly. No experience with them, found them on Google.

So, I got the new tweeter diaphragm from Aguilar a few days ago, and installed it yesterday. Much to my frustration, after installing it, I noticed to difference in the sound. *sigh* I then hooked the cab up to the ext. speaker output of my friend's guitar amp and voila - no buzzing. So, am I...

That's what I'm beginning to think... :\ Yup. Noise is gone when the tweeter's off. Without testing it in that scenario, I can't be sure, but it's loud enough that I'd bet I could hear it. Got a response from Aguilar, and actually had a short string of correspondence with Marco. But I...

I really doubt it....I literally held the tweeter up to my ear as someone else played and it was definitely the source of the sound...

Nope, still buzzes with the cover off. I evehn went as far as to unscrew the tweeter from the cab itself and hold it up to my ear. It's definitely coming from the tweeter itself, even when isolated from everything else... If this is something that would not be covered under warranty, I could...

So, I noticed an odd buzzing noise coming from the top-left corner of my cab today. I'd heard a similar problem before, and took it back to the store I bought it at (Atlanta Bass Gallery.) They checked it out, and told me they could find nothing wrong - and after plugging it in at the store, I...

I suppose that's not a bad idea, I'll look into it. I still think I might end up preferring a preamp built into the bass itself in terms of ease of use/clutter, but we'll see. Price definitely factors in as well.

Well, part of it's just that I don't want to buy another bass - for one it'd bring my total up to 5, and I'm not trying to take that many to college. It just feels like it'd be more efficient to modify a bass to get the sound you want instead of buying an entirely new one...

Awesome, thanks for the replies, guys. I'll get on that tomorrow, I just checked and it only says 4 ohms. Hopefully shipping won't cost that much. Any idea if they'll be doing it for a while, though? I can't picture needing that much more volume any time soon, I doubt I'll have the need any time...

So, I really like my T-40. I love the neck, for one, and the vintage look to it. The versatility in tone is amazing for a passive bass, as others here have commented before. Anyway, I've both played and heard a number of friends' active basses recently, and it feels as though they take the...

Well that's good to hear. In the small amount of experience I've had with it, I've not at all felt like I needed more volume or headroom. More than loud enough to drive the neighbors nuts. Yeah, I remember reading in a thread here on TB about some newer (or modded?) runs of the NeoPak being...
