I'm aware of that ,thanks! :) Primarily I posted because there isn't a lot of information about these basses out there, and thought it would be helpful for others who find their way here through web searches. The bridges on these basses are fairly crummy and in my experience have been the main...

This is kind of a zombie post but I have some useful info to add. Your bass is definitely the 2261. I have two, a fretted and a fretless conversion. the latter was a basketcase with trashed frets, frozen trussrod, busted tuner, missing p/g, etc. so it was good resto-mod conversion candidate...

I use my 3500 Mosfet with upright bass mostly, in a band that has lots of very quiet sections to our music. We usually play in smaller rooms to an intently listening audience, so fan noise has been an annoyance for me for some time now. I just put in a Sanyo Denki fan p/n 9S0824L4011 that I...

Wanted to re-awaken the zombie with one last update. The slave mod held up perfectly for a recent month-long tour which included 4 days recording a full-length album. The amps did great in the studio, as we were able to use two different (yet complimentary) mics on the two cabs, found a nice...

Bit of a Zombie Thread here, but I started it originally and I finally got my broken B100R fixed up and did the line-in mod, so I feel reviving this one is appropriate. Sorry for the long delay if you were following the thread, it's been a busy year for me and this wasn't a front-burner...

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/case-gibson-eb-2-a-577338/#post10796768 Pretty sure it won't work. I tried, maybe I got a tight-fitting EJC case but it was not quite long enough and I had to return it. The body might have fit nicely but the headstock wouldn't have gone in without...

Nevermind, I have dug up at least two sources which suggest the ASB140 has a wider lower bout than the AGB140 (including a thread here on TB which I posted in already, doh!) I suppose it is time to call up Ibanez.

Hey folks, I have an Ibanez ASB140 (yes, ASB, not AGB). It came to me with no case, and I really want to acquire one to keep it safe. Ibanez has discontinued the case along with the bass, and nobody appears to have it in stock anymore. I tried going through my local Ibanez dealer, they...

Sorry to make this a zombie thread, but I thought I would post some useful information (that isn't even actually relevant to the OP) I have an Ibanez ASB140 Artcore bass that came with no case. I recently bought the Jack Cassady case for it on recommendation from another ASB140 owner who...

Not sure exactly what you're after, but I imagine what Jeannie is offering is basically a trim ring made of thin pickguard stock? In any case, ABS is plenty tough for stage use (it begs the question, what exactly do you do to your bass on stage?) The harp covers for Rhodes and Wurlitzer...

So, unrelated to the idea of this thread, my older B100R decided to start blowing fuses. I'll need to figure out what is shorting or pulling too much current in there and do some repair work before proceeding with the mods we've been discussing here.

Do you think the existing line out as wired would be insufficient as a feed for the slave amp? Just asking as R31 is in series with the hot side of the existing jack. I'm assuming Ampeg put this in as a means of setting the output level of the line out jack. [edit: ok, I see why putting this...

I took another glance at the schematic just now and realized some minor work would need to be done around the headphone jack connections as well, since plugging in to it mutes the speaker. Looks like it accomplishes this by opening up the speaker's connection to ground, so a small jumper...

That's a reasonably cautionary reply, but with all due respect I don't personally find it helpful. I've done recap jobs and other minor repairs on tube amps and have overhauled solid state devices and power supplies plenty enough times to feel confident modifying my B100R. The amp is long out...

Or Effects Return or Power Amp In, whatever you wanna call it. I've had one of these for about 13 years and just picked up a second one because I like it so much. I want to have the option of stacking them as a few others here have done. I've tried using the line out of one into the input of...
