I noticed that about the difference between the 136 and the 140, and this head looks identical to the 140, but has the 136 name plate...don't know how or why, but it is. Anyway, I tested the head using a 4 ohm cab just to see if the clipping was a result of that, and what I got was a louder...

I just bought an old '70s Acoustic 136 head for $100. I have an old Ampeg v4 cab loaded with Eminence 250w bass speakers at 8 ohms. I have a feeling this head is either 4 or 2 ohms, but it doesn't say it anywhere on the head and I can't find a schematic. I can rewire my cab to run at 2...

So I finally finished "Maggie." I had the pickup rewound, and it sounds amazing. I also did all the paint myself and I took it back to its original color. Adjusted the truss rod and tweaked it a little, and now it plays like a great bass. Can't wait to gig with it this weekend!

I just found this Ampeg V4 cab in a parking lot coming home from a show. I guess some band just left it after they loaded their trailer or something. There are no specs or labels of any kind on the back of the cab, so I don't know anything about it. Does anyone know what kind of speakers these...

I got Kevin Smith to do it for me (Link Removed), and I definitely have faith in him to do it right. I kind of want him to rewind it a little hotter just so I can get a little more of an aggressive sound out of it. I'm working with a limited budget right now, and I was actually told by my guitar...

I do actually have the original pickup actually, but it was totally shot because when I was 12, I was curious as to how things worked. End of story. Thankfully though, I found a guy in Nashville that rewinds pickups for $30, so I sent it to him today to get rewound. I'm really excited to get...

I just recently acquired a 1964 (I believe) Magnatone Hurricane. It was my dad's bass since he was 12, and it's been in the family ever since. However, my beloved cousin sanded it all down because the paint was starting to chip off. I almost disowned him because I love old beat up vintage gear...
