The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Count Bassie replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Glad you made it back around! -
Thanks @BassBodfor the Stuart Watson rec, we have corresponded and I'm going to get my tech guy to have a chat with him. At this point the amp has been brought back to the bench, opened up and its contents partially laid out on a piece of plywood... I'm hoping this comes to a happy end soon. I'll post when it's up and running. I'm saving my 135 lb Ampeg PR410HLF for it... 🙂

It's still in pieces, back in the bench after feeling it wouldn't get loud enough. Getting it back pretty soon for another run...

That's a little booger! Cool that it's nicely proportioned though. Get those fret sprouts filed though... Not cool to bleed all over the carpet! 😁 -
You know there might be more than I've been led to believe, but it's possible this amp had been serviced with non-spec'd or alternate parts- which might have to do with why the output is so anemic. I'm not the tech though, and life's too short for some things... Also, as far as I've been able to find, there seems to be no Mk IV schematic in existence. ? Trace Elliot has a rabbit hole of hardly documented work. Thanks again for the files though!

Yep, this set goes back to the Mk V, and there are some significant differences between it and the Mk IV. Thank you for sending those though! I've downloaded them and I'll bet there will be another old tank added to the pile within the year, 😁. 👍

Apparently there are some meaningful differences. The MK IV diverged from the MK V in the preamp I think, that's the report. He's been, as I say, reverse-engineering his way through some of it. I'm hoping to eventually get to someone who was part of the design team from that period.
