    Suzuki Bass Guitars

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a Suzuki Folk Acoustic Guitar (6-string)

    It's a beauty, lovely tone/action - bought it off a mate who wanted a flashy round back
    electro-acoustic and who now deeply regrets it.

    Paper label inside body reads

    "Established 1887
    Nagoya
    Suzuki
    w-120vsc(serial number)
    Suzuki Violin Co. Ltd.
    Nagoya.Japan."

    Best 75 quid i ever spent!

    Laney RGB500 Combo Problems

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Hey all...Newbie Here... ;)

    Just wonderered if any one can help with the following:

    I've blown some components on the input board of my Laney RGB500 combo.

    This is probably as a result of a dodgy connection on an active bass that i plugged into my amp. :huh:

    This seems to have "spiked" the input causing two fuses on the input board to blow together with
    capacitor C1. The fuses are not a problem but the capacitor was blown to pieces so i can't identify
    what the part is.

    I contacted Laney tech assist by email and recieved a schematic of the amp. This identified the
    capacitor in question C1 (immediately after the jack inputs on the diagram) as a 10 nf
    electrolytic 100v capacitor.

    So far so good, but after several attempts to source the item, all i keep coming up with are huge
    capacitors that are about 10 times the size of the footprint of the blown component. :)

    I've backed checked with Laney and the item has been confirmed as 10 nf. This dosen't seem to be
    correct. I can definately say that the charred remains of the original were a small- bog standard
    electrolytic capacitor (one of them purple ones about 10mm high 5mm diameter). I'm wondering
    if they are giving me the wrong size (should it be 10 uf??????) - Any body with the above amp prepared
    to slip the amp out of the cab and have a look???

    Any assistance on this would be gratefully accepted - gigs coming up - dug out my Carlsbro Viper 100
    but need to get my Laney working again. ;)
