Hi Gang!! I'm looking for an owner of a real pre-1957 P bass who will give me body dimensions, width at the widest point and top horn to rear (straight line back) ...that'dbe the longest length. (Measuring from apex of neck pocket to the rear is also fine). There are soooo many minor variations...

Here's a good one.....read reply about half way down the thread: Plush bass amps?

Mark Neumann would have been the guy as he left Plush and started Earth. He died some years back.

I'd enjoy finding and interviewing a Plush tech from the era and asking about how they did it all. I've read about Fender, Peavey, Ampeg, Rickenbacker, etc, and even know a guy whose father designed some of the Silvertone stuff, but find almost nothing about Plush. Even this page says almost...

Good stuff! Check this out: O.T.B. Plush 3000B The schematic you posted was written in 2009. Likely the author had only one amp and that's what got sketched out. The history of these amps, layouts, changes....it's apparently pretty much across the board...all over the place. Mine looks a bit...

It seems these amps routinely varied in numerous aspects; everything from case design, chassis and, I am sure, electronic choices. When I get around to re-capping it I'll draw it up and post.

About a year after this post my loving wife died suddenly and so I decided to learn how to design and build amps as a form of therapy. And I am now proficient. However, I have not looked that that Plush since then ( my 2 rigs have much lighter amps, etc) and it is time. I'll recap it, change out...

If it is mids you are after, I'd use an Eden 410 XLT. Great mid growl, but it does color your sound a bit.

Quote, "...weighs exactly 8.6375 lbs." Is that with Boomers or Rotosounds? I'd guess DRs are someplace in between.....:-D Killer bass!

High quality humor. We at The Institute give Danny R multiple thumbs up for a job well done!

A Habs fan, eh? Beliveau is one of my heroes from my youth, along with D. Harvey. Gotta love it! Fun bass! I'll PM you......

What are the dimensions of the pups? Thanks!

Still interested in a trade? I believe I have what you need.

Johnk_10, as I said, it has a 6L6 in that position and the amp works! As I said, it does not work without that tube in place. It does light a little and only gets warm. Is this a mystery or what??!! Yikes!

Otis Thick, many thanks for the link!
