    Rack mount power amps - what's new or quality?

    Hi all, Been pretty happy with my AxeFX/Matrix GT1000 setup for the past few years but at last night's gig my Matrix completely crapped the bed. Need to get a new power amp, and given that this one failed so spectacularly, I'm curious what else is out there or new on the market. Looking for...

    For Sale Orange Tiny Terror

    Orange Tiny Terror for sale. Nothing wrong with it, never gigged. I had it as backup for my TH30 but I picked up a Rockerverb 50 on the cheap so this one gets bumped off the end of the line. Does what it's intended to do. Retubed some of the pre 12ax7s but can throw the junky JJs back in if...

    SOLD 1977 Gibson Ripper w/ OHSC and hardware

    Selling my Ripper because I need cash. Sorry to see it go... I spent a lot of time and money restoring this bass to original condition. However, given the age of the instrument, it has spent most of its time in the case stored in humidity controlled storage instead of being gigged. Rather than...

    Did Echopark discontinue their basses?

    Doing my monthly gas-induced "browse for gear I can't afford and don't need" session, I ended up at Echopark and can't find any trace of the basses they used to offer. Googling resulted in no info on any discontinuance... just a lot of hits for Nick Oliveri's endorsement. Anyone know if...

    For Sale [Feeler] Fender Super Bassman

    Hi all, First, I'm not sure if this is against policy to post a feeler here so mods just remove if it's non-compliant. Apologies in advance if that's the case. I'm waiting on shipment for my new custom head and I'm looking to sell my Fender Super Bassman once I've received the new one...

    Switching to MIDI Controlled Pedal Switching

    Hi all, In light of a recent gig disaster (pitcher of beer + pedal board = :dead:), I'm considering switching to pedals-in-rack and remote switching to keep my gear safe. I know I can get a Voodoo Ground Control + GCX to solve my problems, but that's a bit expensive and I'd like to evaluate...

    The ol' "Which amp?" but with some specific/unique requirements.

    Howdy, First, I'm looking at the new Fender V3 Rumble 500 and the Portaflex 500 + matching 15 HE cab. They both seem to meet me in the middle on my requirements but they're not hitting every check box. What else is out there? - I'm using it for a Fender CS Bass VI. The pickups are voiced...

    The ultimate product for guitar players

    Wife bought these at the store. I stared at the package for a good 15 seconds thinking 'why does this look familiar?'

    No longer available Orange OBC410 4x10 8 ohm Cab now w/ pics

    I'll post some pics later. Orange tolex. Great condition except for some black scuffs on the top from rubber amp feet. I can probably clean them off with a damp cloth. It's been gigged locally a few times (4 or 5?) but has been taken care of so there's no significant dents. I say...

    Gibson Ripper - Bent Tuning Key

    Hey all, Before I start going crazy with pliers, I figured I'd ask around to see if there's a clever way to do this... The D string tuning key on my Ripper is bent where the key attaches to the worm gear post. Looks like the previous owner smacked it against a wall/floor/whatever. The gear...

    SOLD FS only: Orange OBC115

    Selling my Orange 1x15. I swapped out the Kappa 15 for a Kappalite 3015. I still have the original speaker and will include it with the sale. No tears on the tolex but a few black scuffs on the top from the feet of the OBC410 I had up top. I'm guessing they'd wipe off but I haven't bothered...

    Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI - StayTrem Review

    Figured I'd give a quick review of the Staytrem on here. First, John's customer service is excellent. All communications between he and I went better than expected. Shipping was fast and cheap (UK to US). Build quality is superb. Install was brainless and the staytrem dropped right in...

    Fender Super Bassman Tube Layout

    Does anyone have specifics on the function that V3 (AX7) and V4 (AT7) serve in the Super Bassman? I'm guessing the AT7 is a phase inverter but what about V3? According to the block diagram, the loop is not tube buffered. Block diagram shows an out arrow from the autobias to V4 but not to V3...

    Best way to cut most of attack?

    Hi all, Looking for a way to remove most of the attack from a riff. Similar to the lead guitar sound at the one minute mark in this Clutch song (White's Ferry): I'd prefer if the model didn't add distortion, but if necessary, it'll do. Do any of the compressors have the ability to...

    Super Bassman Foot Switch... with LED?

    I'm a bit annoyed that the Super Bassman's 1 button channel select foot switch does not have an LED indicator. If I build a TRS latching footswitch with LED, will it work on this amp? I tried my extra TS footswitch and it wouldn't change channel but the LED on the switch toggled. Would like...

    Does anyone make a replacement bridge for the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI?

    The bridge on this bass is trash! I have saddle height set to my desired height and the low E rattles off the front face of the bridge. If I pull the saddle back to where it's intonated properly, the saddle screw hits the string! ***? Does anyone make a reasonable replacement? I'd like to...

    OBC115 - Farting at moderate volume?

    Hi everyone, I have an OBC115 and an OBC410. I think I'm having issues with the 15. I've hooked it up to a Terror Bass 1000, an AD200B, and a Fender Super Bassman. In all three cases, I get major farting at low (ie 3 of 10) volumes. This happens when I have it hooked up by itself or in...

    Looking for a not-quite-ABY switcher

    Rather than switching a single bass between two amps, I'm looking to toggle between two basses into a single amp. I do not need to run both basses at the same time. Are there any cheap solutions out there to do this? Any schematics? Everything I'm finding is for 1 bass 2 amps rather than 2...

    Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI

    Howdy, Looking to buy a Bass VI and I can't find the manual online anywhere and Fender isn't able to provide an electronic copy at the moment. Can anybody describe how the 5-way pup selector works on this bass? Is it Neck Neck+Mid Mid Mid+Bridge Bridge? Also, is the trem arm...

    Fender BXR Spectrum Cab Question

    Hi all, I have a Fender BXR Spectrum cab (2x10 + 1x18). It has a 4ohm input with a built in crossover in addition to the independent 4ohm inputs for the 2x10 and 1x18. My matched 10s are 8ohm in parallel for 4ohm, 200W RMS. The 18 is 4ohm and 500w continuous. If I run a 4ohm 1000W head into...
