Hello everyone!
I've had an Ampeg SVP 1500 (combined with an SVP Pro) for many years of pleasure, untill one day I rented it and someone spilled water on the power socket - sad story...
Well it didn't burn imediately! One of the channels still worked for some days. But then came the end. I took it to two different experienced technicians and both gave me the same response: the pcb was destroyed, allthough most of the components were ok!
So I was wondering: does anybody know if it is possible to get a new pcb from somewhere? A friend told we that it is possible, but I haven´t found nothing while searching the internet... -
Hello to everyone!
I'm Antonio from Azores and I've been playing bass since I was 14... started out playing sax (tenor, alto, soprano) at young age and then... wham! fell in love with bass guitar! I play in two bands for quite some years; we cover lots of bands in hard rock style, but I also love to play some blues and jazz stuff.
Have been rockin' two Yamaha Attitude: a Limited 1 and a Standard; I also have an Ibanez Silverstar unlined fretless from the 70s, just for those bluesy moments. Nowadays I play through an Ampeg SVT7 and a SVT810 cab (90s american version), but played many years through an SVP Pro / SVP 1500, untill a dumb@ss burned out my SVP 1500!!! Obviously I don't use this setup for rehearsal - for that purpose I use my faithfull 90s Carlsbro B1-200.
And that's all, folks! Hoping to have a good time around this forum.
Flatwound Low B 145
in Accessories and Misc
Posted
Greetings!
Recently I started using some flatwounds on one of my bass for a more jazzy tone, but now I want to string up my 5 string and ain't able to find a .045 - 0.145 flatwound set. It seems string companies aren't producing flatwound low b's with .145 gauge, which is what I use on a short scale so it doesn't go flabby. Anybody know why is that?
However, I found out this guy, that produces custom strings on order:

Anybody has any experience with him or may have heard about?
