Hey guys, so I have this SVT-II that I bought as a fixer a while back, turned out it was just corrosion problems from being stored too long in a cellar. After a set of new jacks, replacing some burnt and corroded connectors, no noise, no scratchy pots, everything seems to be working fine, but...

Hey folks! I recently got my hands on an Ibanez Proline 5050, which unfortunately has had two pots replaced. One of those being the bass EQ pot. Unfortunately what's in there has no center detent, and turns very easily. This of course annoys me to no end. To add insult to injury, the shaft of...

Hey folks, After realizing today that the existing 'effect loop' on this amp is not suitable for my intended use with a compressor (because it's between the pre-amp and the endstage, changing volume directly affects the output level, and hence requires constant re-adjustment of any effect in...

Hey folks! I finally got my hands on a cabinet to match my Tech Soundsystems Graphic 625 amp, and am wondering if anyone here has met or had one of these beasts. It is a 6x12" cab with what appears to be custom speakers (see pic!). Has anyone here met this cab in person? I would like...

So I got this W Buzzard BO 5 (MIG) for about 500 Euros... SCORE. And I also think I just got enlightened about the secret mating habits of bass guitars! :D :D :D

Hello folks, I hope someone can share their expertise with me. I just bought a W Buzzard BO 5 pretty cheap. I love the shape of the thing, and for the price I cannot complain, but unfortunately it is cherry red, not a natural satin finish. How deep does the stain go on these things? Is it...

Hey folks! Happy new year! Is there anyone out here who knows about the old Ibanez active setups? I bought a DB800 Destroyer (1985 Fujigen). It's got it's share of scratches, but after a cleanup it looks good, and mechanically it's working all the way. When I plugged it in though, monster...

So I dropped my meds and keep chasing those damn pills, but the bastards keep rolling further and further away... so... I gave into GAS... Ibanez Destroyer X-Series, 1985 Fujigen, Active electronics, all original, frets show only slight wear, original hardcase, original tools, and I even got the...

Hey guys! Some of you may remember my first thread a little while back, when I became owner of a first series (white-text) Non-Pro Ampeg SVT-II. The owner said it would ned new tubes, but now I am convinced that that is not the case! I have conducted an experiment with a little demo recording...

Hey fellas, I'm going to go look at an EBS Classicline 212 cab tomorrow. Someone has converted the front grille to look like the pro-line series, which I do like better than the ugly grey mesh of the Classicline, but that also makes me a little wary if a speaker or tweeter was replaced. Does...

Like the title says. Does anyone own one of these 4x10 Neo cabs or seen the innards? I have a chance to buy one (trade really) in great condition (virtually scratch free), but this is an 8 ohm cab. I would need to know if it has 8 ohm drivers in series-parallel, or 32ohm drivers in parallel. If...

So it occurrs to me that google is getting worse by the day really and is now rarely of help. I'm kinda sorta starting a small collection of 80's basses, and the Ibanez I'm about to buy right now made me remember something... I used to have a VHS copy of the 12 Wasted Years Iron Maiden...

Hey guys, I just struck what I think is a pretty damn awesome deal on a complete bass amp rig. The setup is an Ampeg SVT-II (non-pro) with two 1048 Trace Elliot cabs (no tweeter), a Korg DT-1 tuner, a rack for the head and tuner, and road ready containers for both cabinets. I got it cheap...

Hey guys, I just became a Warwick owner, and there is one single thing I would like to change. The nut. I want to replace the stock nut with a brass one, but I am not sure which version to grab from Warwick's shop. So here's a few quickies for those in the know: If the width and number of...

Lookattit! :D 2006 Thumb 6 BO Broad neck. It was a showroom piece in the local Warwick dealership, and was hauled to exhibitions, so it does have some signs of use, but I think I got a good deal including 2 years warranty like brand new! :) My wallet feels lighter though... a moment of silence...

Like the title says, does anyone own one of these cabs? There's generally very little about these amps/cabs on the market, but whatever I find is always positive. It's a good thing too, as I just picked up an old Tech Soundsystems Graphic 625 head in pristine condition for under $200! I figure...

Hey everyone, long time lurker here. I'd like some input regarding a little bass cabinet project I have going here. I snagged an old Peavey 4x12 cabinet a while ago with no speakers. I thought this was a bass cab because of the way it was vented, however now that I'm actually doing the build, I...
