    '98 Roscoe Beck V jazz bass - Tone POt?

    Tone pot doesn't work on my bass, it's full treble all the time and crackles if you mess with it. Does anyone know the right part for tone pot? Looks like item 16 on page three of manual? "push-pull 27k? " I looked on Sweetwater's site, and all the ones that look right say 500k or 250k. Sorry...

    SWR Super Redhead Nightmare

    SWR Super Redhead problems: This thing was making a humming noise. OK fine. Got it repaired. Replaced Preamp tube, speakers, direct out section, and bunch of caps and chips. Hum is fixed. Got it home and it's sounds like a 1960's fuzz box. (DISTORTION!). I can't take it back to the shop, its a...

    Vintage DOD Eq610 equalizer question

    I just powered up this thing, after it sat for 30 years. It is making a slight humming sound. Even acoustically without the amp, when I turn on the giant power switch, I can hear the power supply(?) humming inside it, kind of like a florescent light (ballast) sound? The power cord is 3...

    Boss Tuners TU-12 vs TU-12H

    I own both models. What is the difference? The Power switch has some different options on each. I want to sell one, and trying to figure out which (if any) is better for use with my 5 string bass.

    GK 700RB-II input/pre-amp section questions

    It seems there are some differing answers to my question. I seriously wonder if the input clip light is working. I turned my bass all the way up and turned the input gain all the way up until it was very distorted, not growling, distorting big time..but no clip light whatsoever. The manual says...

    GK 700RB-II input/pre-amp section questions

    The input clip light has never come on with my bass which is passive. I thought the light was not working, but apparently it just takes a lot more juice than i have to light it up. So - the light coming on can indeed damage the preamp...good to know. Thanks

    How to re-attach MarkBass plastic logo to speaker cabinet?

    Use oatmeal to glue it back. Seriously, have you ever tried to get dried oatmeal off of a bowl?

    GK 700RB-II input/pre-amp section questions

    I just got this amp, but not sure what's up with the input section. On my old SWR amp, the manual basically says to turn the input up until it barely clips (light blinks) on your loudest notes. It also says clipping won't hurt the preamp. Should I operate the GK amp in the same way? When I crank...

    SWR Collectors Thread

    The rattle, or maybe its a farting type sound, happens when I get above a certain volume. It's definitely coming from the cabinet, not the placement of the amp in room. The speaker sounds good otherwise, so I'm guessing it isn't blown. I had the amp fixed so I'm thinking something is loose...

    Singing them UPS Blues

    I've had two drum kits delivered by them, both nearly destroyed. They actually broke the kick drum hoops on yamaha recording kit, which is hard to do really. The items were packed pretty well. Never had a bass shipped with them, but I imagine it would arrive in pieces.

    Questions pre-amp or lack thereof- older Fender Rumble 350 2x10 combo

    Wow, that's good news and hard to believe. ;) The tube pre-amp in the Redhead has spoiled me. The headphone output on the Redhead is like stepping into heaven. In any case, the Fender sounds like a good deal at 250, assuming everything is working on it. Thanks

    Cool. Sounds to me like you're saying this is a perfect low cost alternative to the Super Redhead. Thanks!

    Questions pre-amp or lack thereof- older Fender Rumble 350 2x10 combo

    Hello All, I play a (passive) Fender RB-5 Jazz Bass, mostly through a SWR Super Redhead 350w 2x10 combo which has a gain (pre-amp?) and a master volume. So that's what I'm used to. Unlike most amps I've seen, this Fender doesn't have a gain, but there is a gain in the overdrive section...
