    Ampeg PB212-H replacement speakers?

    Hey all, I figured this deserved it's own thread. I've searched hi & lo and can't find a lot. I know this cab was not popular due to being not very efficient, but I do LOVE the form factor and I want to keep using them. (I have 2 of them) From what I've read, this is my best possible hope of...

    I need help; what to do about my aging rig...

    Hey all. I have a quandary & I'm not sure what direction to go in. I have a great little rig that works for me, but it's getting a little old. Some problems are developing. So, the rig: An SWR 350 burgundy face head pushing either 1 or 2 (depending on need) Ampeg portabass PB212-H cabs. I know...

    Squier P pup; white wire, black wire?

    Hey all. I'm getting ready to put together a parts bass/project and I have a squire P set I'm going to use in combo with a piezo bridge. My question is on the split pup; one side has 2 blacks, and the other side has 2 whites. How do I tell which is the treble side pup, and the bass side for...

    what "fuses" are used in Ampeg PB212H?

    Hi. To be brief, I need a "fuse" which looks like a tube type light bulb for an old VW dome light. Anyone know what I mean? I have an Ampeg portabass PB212H powered by an SWR Headlite that I use for practice because it's light & loud. Last night at practice the bottom speaker started...

    Photo flame or real?

    I have an Epi les paul 5 string in vintage burst. The flamed top looks very nice for the price I paid. For the money, it really does have some nice features, like body binding, and large inlays. Maybe not the greatest inlays, but hey, whattya want? Does anyone know, does Epi use real flamed...

    What should I do

    Or not do? I have a chance to trade my '88 Mapleglo 4003 Ric for a 200? black EB stingray. I haven't played the Ric since I switched to a fretless Pedulla Rapture many moons ago. I've also gravitated to the J world. But I've never played a stingray ever. I'm intrigued with the idea of turning a...

    strings for reverse headstock

    What strings are used on basses with reverse headstock? I have a 5 string that's got the B string as the longest one. The G string is pretty short. If I use a "normal" set, I'm afraid the B won't reach the tuner! Like, what do they string up Thunderbirds with? I've never seen any strings branded...

    Got it figured out...

    Yep, I finally know what I want. I want this, except I want a blank ebony board. (Minus the inlays, of course.) I'm ready to go blank! No more lines. Except Fender isn't making this in a true fretless version. Or are they? Passive, sunburst, tort guard. Yeah that's it. Where can I get one?

    De-lining a fretless???

    Hi. I couldn't find anything about subject using search, so I'll ask. I want to De-line my lined fretless. I was at first thinking about paint. But closer examination of my MIM jazz looks like it has line 'inlays'. Is that what they are, or are they painted? I suppose it'd be too difficult if...

    Fingerboard coating question

    Hi. Does anyone know if there is any coating on the Fender MIM jazz fretless? I have a '97 "vintage" that looks like, what?< Pau ferro? Or a light rosewood? (I'm not an expert on woods.) I also have a carvin that I coated the ebony board with tung oil. Wear is acceptable to me on the Carvin...

    Does anyone know, what is the string spacing at the bridge on a 5 string MIM jazz? Is it the same spacing as the 4 strings?

    Yet another jazz question

    OK, I have a MIM jazz F/L. I've read about all the popular upgrades but I'm happy W/ it the way it is for now. BUT, the one thing that does bother me is the amount of (directional) hum it picks up. I haven't seen anyone mention shielding the control cavity, just swapping out pups. I actually...
