spaners Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Ok, thinking I might not keep my Squier VI. Its brand spanking and I have barely touched it as im having trouble with a trapped nerve in my neck. Its three colour burst and I have had it three weeks, so not a mark on it. PM if interested. Sensible offers only please.

spaners Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just a thought I would consider a trade against a Fender Mustang Bass or a semi hollow short scale such as Hagstrom Viking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Very cool theese Squier VI's, much better looking than the Fender Pawn Shop model (that P-90 looks so out of place). I'm also curious about the Fender Excelsior modded for bass that you have in the background, what's that all about? Have a bump for such a cool bass!!!

[/quote] The Excelsior is a cool amp, it sounded good with a bass before I started to play with it. Main mods I have done are replaced the valves GT 6L6's (matched pair of grade 8s)for the output. GT 5751 for the pre (about 30% les gain than a 12ax7 for improved clean headroom) and a Ruby 12ax7 in the inverter. . Ask me if your not shore about valve grading. . I replaced the output transformer with a Hammond 1650F much more iron and much, much better low frequency response (less loss of volume at low frequency than a guitar amp transformer and the main difference between a bass amp and a guitar amp) I have also done some work on the power supply and the pre amp sections that involved the replacement of some of the capacitors and resistors (I'm happy to discuss this but not in an open forum as there is some knowledge required concerning making an amp safe prior to working on the circuit) I have also replaced the dark/bright switch with a tone pot. One of the main topics of conversation on other forums reference this amp has been the speaker, with many modders fitting an eminence legend 1518 ( mainly as it is louder having a better SPL level) Personally I really like the sound I get from the standard speaker and at the volumes I use the amp at (home use only) it behaves very well, I have had complaints from neighbours so don't think it don't get pushed! I (as you may have noticed) have scrapped off the original nasty brown vinyl covering in favour of a nice red Tolex. my first attempt at doing this. All in all I'm really pleased with this amp.
