I noticed a huge differance when i swaped the pickups from my squier p bass to seymour duncan SPB 3s. although the squier pick ups where cheap.

new strings days should be a special day for everyone

well my repair man got back to me earyler and said iv blown 8 output transitors. but the good thing is KORG stock them and there only 1.58 each. hes gunna make sure nothing else in the amp is broken though. hes also gunna put a new pre amp tube in it for me. so not that bad after all.

Spoke to korg today. they were really helpful sent me a wirirng diagram for my repair man to look at and said they can stock transitors, risistors etc for my amp. so getting parts not should be easy enough.

Ok guys thank you very much for all your help. the guying looking at it said he will get bck to me by the weekend and hopefully have an answer so i wil update

How hard is it to gets part for hartkes atm. The repair man said it may be hard to get parts. Is there anywhere u can get a wiring diagram

Right well the fuse that blew in the amp the first time was a 250v 6A it says on back of the amp it takes F6AL/250V the fuse i got from maplins are 250v 6.3A would that make any differance. The only other thing i forgot to say was the one of the output jacks for the speaker cable is louse. although its been like that for a week now and i used it twice like it. I'm hoping it wont cost to much money to repair iv been the recomend the guy from a couple of poeple and been told hes good.

Bascily i was at band practice last night and pulled the speaker cable out the head for a secound while it was still running stupid thing to do i no. as i put the cable back in it arcked on somthing and blew the fuse. iv tryed two more fuses now and it keeps blowing them, any ideas what i could of done, taking it to a repair man tomorrow but hopefully its nothing pricyy,

I would be abit pissed off if that was me you done that to.

Iv always thought of a P bass as an evo with a big turbo and a J bass as a civic type R are with a revy vtec engine.

Personally i would invest in a 500watt head or somthing round that power with a 410 and a 115. Then you have plenty of power with two cabs for bigger gigs and for practice you can just use one cab. invest in somthing like a hartke or ashdown. My hartke with a 410 is perfect for practice.

Need abit of help with what pots i need for my squier p bass. been looking on all parts and was wondering if these pots would fit my bass http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/electronics/250k-pots/250k-audio-log-pot-cts-split-knurled-shaft-p-1541.html if there not could someone point me in the right directions

I got the magical feeling when my band made up our first song, it sounded so good and also when we are practicing and we get our set played perfect. My first gig was amazing aswell just went nuts and had such a good time. never had a feeling like that before and i dont want it to be the last.

gig went really well poeple seemed to really like us and i had a great time. was so nervous but it got better with each song and even managed to jump around.lol

my first gig is tonight got an 11 song set. wish me luck
