Fender Bassman 100T Chapter 3

Got to thinking I once ran into a problem like that with the guitar players Blues Junior amp it would make a funny buzzing sound but the music didn't cut out and just had a weird vibration on certain notes turned out it was a capacitor on the circuit board where they hadn't used enough glue to secure it and even though it was connected fine it would be vibrate against the circuit board on certain notes. Took me a while to find it had to pull the chassis and check every component.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will probably bring it back into the shop before I start disassembling everything What's interesting is that I just played the amp for a couple hours and as it warms up the buzzing disappears almost completely. .

The 100T and 400 Neo last night at a 50th anniversary Beatles tribute at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. I got it in my head recently that maybe I should trade this for a Super Bassman 300. Even though I've been very happy with the 100T. Forget it... I just see no sense in taking a financial hit and taking on the extra pounds. The 100T slays, at least for my needs. It was too freaking loud at the beginning of soundcheck; I turned down. And mine has never given me a lick of trouble, despite a few long gigs.

:bassist: Awesome man! It's a heck of an amp that really should be able to do any gig. Even as venues get bigger, you should have adequate FOH support so it doesn't really matter.

Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! :D

Thanks for sharing!

So I'm new to this site, but I just thought I would say that I decided on getting the 100t and the neo 410, it was time for a change from my orange terror bass 500, and I wanted a slightly smaller cab than my am peg 610. Way more stoked now that I read the posts about this beast. If anyone is interested I used the orange for my bands recordings, www.facebook.com/cupidsvictimtx. It is awesome, but doesn't have quite the sound I wanted to get.

I tried it with both an ampeg 610 and the neo 410, and with a fender jaguar on passive and a Gibson eb also passive. Another thing I messed around with was on the vintage channel, with master at 5 and volume at 5, it was only a tad louder than my ampeg ba108, and with volume at 4, if the master is turned from 1 to 10, from 3 to 5 is the same, then 5 to 10 is about the same, and it barely has any volume to it, the ba 108 at 2 is louder.
