So. I have an old Kapa Continental. It has no bridge. They have odd bridges. I'd like to find a drop in replacement and from the looks of it, rick bridges could work. What I need is the measurement on the bridge baseplate for the studs that attach to the body. Please and thanks.

I have a '74. It really is an awesome amp. I can only assume that it will work nicely as a jazz amp, but I know it works well as a "turn it all the way up" amp.

Since it's an old Fender, keep your bass knob only at 2 or lower, if you set it higher it will sound flabby and eventually fart out. Noted and done! I've been playing it in a band type situation where we all play too loud, last week I finally tilted it back on its legs and pointed it where I could ...

So, I haven't done any of the things that you guys suggested that I try. Except I did look at these speakers for visual damage and checked for ohms etc. I have been playing through the amp a fair amount at moderate to low volumes, never pushing the speakers or using my sub octave pedals or playing t...

Sounds like Smallbox might have nailed it for you, though.

Will absolutely check the wiring when I try it out with my other speakers.

Maybe the output bias is set too cold, I googled this problem and it found a link on *amber* (apologies), but anyways this is what that person said: I have a hunch that this is not a tube issue. "Farty" usually means crossover distortion (output tube bias far too cold), or blocking distor...

Yeah, I have 2 40w speakers for a 40w amp. It's not that my speakers aren't rated for the amp. At least on paper. As I understand it the Jensen P10R is the "vintage voiced" speaker, while a P10q(?) would be a more modern voicing. I opted for the vintage voicing because it's a vintage amp. ...

I will check this evening. But it definitely has the sound of a speaker exceeding its capacity. Like Bone Thugs & Harmony blasted through the stock speakers of a 1988 Ford Escort. Shit's just farty.

So, I recently had my '74 Vibrolux brought back from the dead. I bought it in really rough shape and never got to hear it before it was restored. I really like the way it sounds, you know, like a Fender. Except when I get above 3 or so on the volume there is some pronounced speaker fart. whomp whomp...

Yeah, iirc he only had 2 or 3 hrs for labor at $30/hr. He has markup in the tubes and such as well as insisting that I use expensive replacement speakers. My thinking was that I could buy parts as I went. Breaking up the investment into smaller chunks which would make it easier to justify. Plus, you...

So, I picked up a 74 vibrolux super cheap several months ago. It was basically doa, I got about 3 minutes of horrible (but kinda awesome) sound out of it and it went kaput. I took it to a trusted amp tech to look it over and give me a quote on the restoration/repair. It needed just about all of the ...

I couldn't help but notice the Vibrolux. I just picked one up but have yet to be able to play it as it's in the shop for a bit of restoration/repair. I'm quite anxious to play it. Sorry, nice Jag too. Man, you're gonna looooooooooove it! Mine ticks like a bastard when the vibrato is switched on, bu...

I only have moral support and admiration for you Doog. I play in a two piece dumb-rock band and struggle with simply switching my fuzz on or off at the right time while mumbling inaudibly. I tried to come up with an analogy to illustrate how horribly I would fail at doing what you are proposing to d...

Great, they screwed up silverburst again.

looks to me like a double anniversary in a color that is not green or sunburst.

Good. He had a sweet old Silvertone amp up as well for $200. I was considering maybe not making my house payment for a little while.

Maybe it's a scam, but I really wish I had the scratch for this. Fuck.

I'm terribly hungover and have spent my entire day actively trying not to vomit. This was of no aid to me in my efforts.

the harmonic percoNOW! HAHA!!!


sorry.
