Mr. Foxen

Using only one amp at a time is for the weak.

Just get in there and clean it yourself. I already put a bunch of how to on here. The sleeve can be reupholstered fairly readily, either DIY or find a local upholsterer.

Doesn't really look much like lack of options is an issue. Especially since about 5 suggestions have been custom builders.

I just cautiously turned it on with no valves in it to see if it seemed about right. Haven't done any poking in it with a meter because I wanna make sure someone reliable is around in the house, my lodger is here, but she is actually too stupid for me to place the slightest risk to my life in her hands. Plus I would rather do it with Umph available online so I can pester him. Thanks also to Subthumper for the fuses. It is fine so far, no exploding.

Sticking to bass amps? Are you going to include small builders?

[quote name='umph' post='1289318' date='Jul 1 2011, 05:35 PM']haha good luck with that quest! think olis 300 might be a one off.[/quote] I always suspected there's a red and a yellow ones to go with, due to its blatant dub rig origin. Matamp factory trip is pending to collect a mates GT200 and 8x10, gonna see if I can poke about in the records. Plus part of the condition I got it on was it is used for Doom.

Maybe it was jsut the Midget with the plank across the front with the tweeter mounted on it.

They aren't true bypass, so it must still have had power to work when off.

Sure there was a tweeter option on the Compact.

Sold the Laney, pretty much covering it. Fair few amps to hit the market before the Matamp comes up. Plus I've got Al Cisneros ahead of you on the list of people that want to buy it.

What sort of figures should I be seeing on the transformers?

Clening is done. The stuff involving a meter I haven't done, don't really know what I'm up to with it. how would I check the transformer for shorts? All the electrolytics have been replaced. Sop fire it up without valves in and stick the meter in the valve bases, what voltages am I looking for in there, on what pin numbers (actually caught myself there, then realised that is valid use of the phrase 'pin number').

If I'm picturing the right cab, is it sealed? Means the driver probably isn't suitable. The Midget uses a Kappalite driver.

If i may ask how much did the 9 amps cost in total?[/quote] They are all hosted on photobucket so aren't taking up BC space. Don't really want to talk money, it is pretty unlikely that I'll be keeping them all and I don't want people bringing it into it when I try and move them on. [quote name='3below' post='1285524' date='Jun 28 2011, 06:41 PM']Looking at the DIY can capacitor, I wonder if you could fit them inside 35mm plastic piping. If so you could glue a pipe end cap on and have a low cost tidy can capacitor. Might work, might not.[/quote] i consider pulling off the plastic sleeve from the existing cap, but it was too small anyway. Cooling was a possible issue that occurred to me, but I don't think they are supposed to get hot.

Check the other stuff, they'll get crappy bids cause look at the delivery conditions.vIf you are going there, can you pick up stuff I win and send to me? Cheers.

Barefaced have an SVT cab soundalike coming out, think uses ferrite drivers, so won't be super light, but bet will beat the fridge by a fair bit. I reckon a pair of 2x10s like the chambers in a fridge, with B810s is the true path, to stack vertical.

Woah, routing the bridge is much too extreme. Just shim the neck pocket, fag packet is the Fender way, but any bit of dense card is fine, just a little strip, probably about half an inch long, across the end of the pocket. Sort that right out.

Through the investigative process of reading the OP's signature, I deduce he has an Ampeg head already. Sealing a cab isn't hugely difficult to arrange, but might be better getting a ready made cab.

The GLX on is cast and totally fine.
