Yes, i had the same problem. I had a different standard for each one, but totally lacked the space. I had to lay two basses on my bed, and then when i went to sleep I had to lay them on a chair.

Made a guitar standard today. Simple build, but it seems to work.

Fender Bassman 50 Heavy Maintenance

Since someone asked if I could make some sort of journal or something about the maintenance on a bassman 50,.. here it is. So the amp is an old fender bassman export (bassman 50). http://users.telenet.be/Cool-cat/Files/B/IMG_3461_8.jpg This is in fact a picture I made after all of the work was done....

Well, I dont think that was my project. I stumbled upon someone else's project and there i found the schematics. I did make some changes in the components and a piece of the schematic. If you want, I can PM you all the paperstuff you need to build one. The biasing on these things is a pain!

Yep, it's the dimension C. But I left the switches out, and chose for a better control with potentiometers instead of switches.

It was quite an involved build. The PCB has over 150 pieces on it.

Yes, it's true, but to me the only thing you need is a bit of common sense, and maybe a dose of fear/the idea that those amps ARE dangerous. (but i tend to forget those things) Normally the power is completely drained out of them when you work on the inside. It's only when you made a mistake that yo...

You have built realy nice stuff too i see. I already saw many of your pedals, because i have been watc...

I just know what he told me. It had an ashtray bridge on it, but as i said it has been changed for this cheapo bridge. Couldnt it be that the whole neck part is that ugly because it spent a night outside in the wet grass? As i told you before, i almost know nothing about this guitar, I got it for fr...

Well, I realy dont know. The headstock has no logo, however in the right light you can still see the fender telecaster decal. It is 100% sure the original neck. He bought it somewhere around 1980 I think, but it already was a used guitar at that moment.

Well, the sad thing is that I don't realy know the whole story myself. I found it in the attic of my uncle's house. He said it was his when he had my age. It was his first guitar which he used mainly for gigging. I could keep it because he doesn't use it anymore. I dont realy know how the neck has g...

I use a 25W weller soldering iron and 0.5-0.7mm lead solder.
Most soldering irons will do, if they are 30W or less. Otherwise it may be hard not to fry components. Search for one with a small tip.

Well it's just a body i found on ebay. They called it a jag body, but yes indeed it's in fact a jagmaster. My mistake :wink:
I dont know what it is, i can't find anything on the body. I just know that it seems to work fine with a normal strat neck.

http://users.telenet.be/Cool-cat/Files/Gear/DSC01283_8.jpg My london city stack. The london city has some modifications, at the moment it's something between an early marshall superlead and a JTM45, but in 100W version. The weird thing on top is my selfmade tiny terror which i use for repetition an...
