    Got me a Behringer Ultrabass BA810 "Refrigerator" cab

    Soooo I scored this mint condition beast for a mesially hundred bucks. Now I'm no expert bass player so I can't go into how good it sounds versus this cab & that cab, but to me it sounds great. My two biggest issues with this thing is its two tiny wheels on the back bottom edge, and the...

    What effect is this?

    I'm talking about Sleeps single release last year called "The Clarity"...an amazing song really. Now I know Al Cisneros uses a seeker effect mid way thru as well as further into it....but wth is the effect at the beginning?? I've been able to nail down the seeker effect on my line 6 fm4, and...

    SLEEP,Dragonaut, Mu-tron III, and the Line 6 FM4

    I know this has been hashed over and over, so I'm sorry. I know that Al Cisneros (Sleep/Om/Shrinebuilder) used a Mu-tron III in Dragonaut on Sleeps "Holy Mountain" album. I've searched around and haven't seen anything mentioned about his actual setting or close to. Anyway I just picked up a...

    Best set up for these amps?

    I've spent the last few days trying to figure the best way to hook this up. I've got a Fender M-80 160w head, a Randall RH200SC G2 guitar head, a Hughes & Kettner bc210, and a fender HM412A. Is it as simple as running from the line out on the m-80 to the line return on the Randall, then out to...

    Snap, crackle, pop from UNPLUGGED amp?

    I was just playing for a while through my frankenrig, shut down, unplugged both amp heads and went for a smoke. Wife text me a few minutes later saying that it was making random pop & crackle noises....but everything was off and unplugged from the wall!! The set up is a 1970 Traynor YVM-4...

    Identifying & replacing/substituting Power amp Transistor.

    This is for the Kustom amp. I've got all of the other parts ordered, but I'm having a hard time finding this transistor. Kustom part no. 007-0012-00 So far I've have found that it's transistor 38737-40410 nte129 pnp driver But anything I've come across looks nothing like it. Any ideas?

    The Difference between Volume & Gain (and the possibility of adding volume control)

    Here I go again with the stupid little Japanese amp head. This thing is growing on me tho. Anyway, I've got it converted to 3 prong, and last night I noticed something strange... The last time I checked, volume & gain are very much different from each other. While using it, I definitely...

    Determining Blown resistor values without Diagrams

    Found this video on YouTube, and thought I'd share. Since I've got a blown resistor in my Kustom, I'm definitely gonna be trying this out.

    72'-73' Kustom SideWinder Tuck N' Roll Restoration Project

    While I've got that little japanese bass head waiting to be 3-pronged, I came across a old dude on kijiji (canada), who literally had 3 barns worth of vintage gear. Everything from Traynor Monobloc 2x15 cabs, 15" single cabs, fender band master heads, PA bins, stage lighting, mixing boards...

    UPDATE: Solid state amp 2-prong to 3-prong conversion

    I have an old Japanese made bass head that has a 2 prong plug. I was looking at converting it to a 3 prong for grounding. It's a fairly simple amp with treble, bass, gain (volume), 3 inputs (low/high/bright), power switch and light. I've been reading around the last couple of hours, and...

    Repurposing Old/new Amps & parts

    I've apparently gotten off on the wrong foot with some members based on this topic. Thought it would be a good & educational idea to start a discussion on this. SO: is it a good idea to repurpose parts from both old & new amps? Are some parts better left alone and should be replaced? Are there...

    Adding second amp head to rig? (Slaving?)

    Hello all. I've come through here many times (via Google) to find answers, and this site has been great. For my current situation however, I've found the info on this subject....too educated for me. My current rig is a Dean metalman V into a B-52 stealth series LG100a amp head, and from there...
