Are you a beginner in amp repair or in electronics generally?

Electronics.

Hi

Sorry if this has been covered before. I'd like to know more about the insides of amps so that I can start to do services and repairs. Any reference books or manuals out there that would be good for a beginner?

Ok I looked back a few times...

Sold my Matamp GT200 when I got my MkIV, never looked back.

sounds like a great way to blow up a few amps

These are, in my opinion, the ultimate basses. Love mine.

damn, what I'd give to put my v4 on 2ohms and run it through both those cabs.

can you connect this to a single 4ohm cab?

Nope old Peavey stuff is absolute garbage stay away.


[size=1]that way it'll stay cheap for the rest of us. [/size]

Nice bass, great colour combo. is the rosewood really light or is it just the lighting/flash?

Never had nickel before (these came with a new bass) - bit too bright for me, bit too much high end - but the black looks really nice.

Look like rotosound nexus to me

yep that looks right, cheers!

Does anyone know what they are?

Black, roundwound, with coloured cloth at each end...

Wait, aren't you the guy who asked for advice before, and then just did what you were going to do anyway..?

haha yes, I need to surround myself with sycophants who reinforce my opinions and actions...

BUT hey I learnt about the clip on, so this thread has been A+

Pitch black looks good, but I think I'll grab a TU-3 because you can also use it as a splitter into 2 amps, which is useful for studio and messing around with amps.

Will probably grab a TC clip-on for around the house too - they look awesome.

thanks all...

Probably am looking for a pedal but I have to say that's an impressive bit of kit for £35!!

link to a good one?

Yes, I'm trying to work that out too.

risk management.

Thanks for your advice, I'm going to do it anyway.

I've been told by most that this is a massive no no (and I've never done it) - but I've also been told it's ok.

What's the risk? is it ever ok?

Just realised I don't have a proper cable and I want to do some playing...

I have an original and even I'm tempted at that price!

Would be keen to know if the reissues have the same grind/darkness that the originals have.

Listen to the intro to Blew for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J37mp0JJCE

great basses! Nice and light with no sacrifice of tone... glwts

played with one of these yesterday in the studio - maybe the best bass amp I've ever used (and I can't believe I'm saying this about a trace elliot).

Funny how everyone is saying 'no' apart from the 1 person who has actually done this?
