    I want to make a ramp. Question... Does placing a bit of wood between the top of the pick ups and the strings, affect the output of the pickups? Thanks.

    Thanks for that. So does a low B with a 30" scale work ok..? I thought it might be a bit floppy?

    I currently use a 6 string bass with round wound strings, the thinnest being around .020". The bass has a 34" scale. ..andctuned E-E. The problem I'm having is there is a very marked difference in tone on the 2 thinnest strings....they sound very scratchy , and noticeably different tonally to the other 4. I'm thinking of trying a low tension set of flats, but have no idea of what gauges to use. I'm thinking that the top E would be around .020...most 6 strung flatwound sets I've seen have a whopping low B..that I dont want. Any suggestions for make/ string gauges etc would be most welcome...I'm tryingbto eliminate the horrible tone of my fingers on very thin rounwounds...any helps or tops would be very welcome.

    I love your bass. I'd love to sit down & try some bass lab basses.

    Does this bass have a piezo pick up as well as the neck mounted pick up?
  22. alembic1989
    Beautiful looking bass. Do the also have a good acoustic sound/ voloume?

    I've owned this amp from new and love the tone. However some years ago it developed a fault...the volume slowly " fizzled out" after playing for 20 mins or so...and the faded in and out of it's own accord. I took it to Surrey Amps, and they did a very thorough job servicing/ repairing it. The fault came back..they very graciously had another look, and could find nothing wrong with it. I hadn't used it for a while..plugged in again..and now...nothing. Curiously..in the past, the amo would sometimes leap into action, if I hit the strings hard with the palm of my hand. Does anyone know an Ampeg expert..? I'm out of touch with " new" mini amps..I tried a mini mark bass amp..and didn't like the tone. Is it time for a new amp? Are these old transistor amps inherently unreliable? Any suggestions welcome. If any of you are amp repair experts..fancy buying a wounded Ampeg? HELP!
