  1. Thanks, BTW I checked out the your site, lots of great info there, but where should I start? Also, which of the amp techs on your links page would be good for Fender amps, specifically a '67 bassman, and late 60's princeton? Lookin' to possibly hot rod these suckers. Chris Chris, All of the techs on my tech page could deal with any Fender amp in their sleep. I would NEVER touch these amps though ... they are great stock. If you want something hotter buy a hotter amp. Maybe hot rod wasn't the right term... I know the Princeton needs some love, it sounds good at low volumes, but cranked it's a bit flat. Sweet tremolo though. I just picked up the bassman today on ebay, recovered with a fine black carpet. I haven't heard it yet, but I've heard of some mods that can be done to combine the two channels for more tonal options. Maybe I'll just have it tuned up first... [/QB]Get the amps working at their best and then decide. [/QB] I just got my Bassman back from Steve Dikun, sounds great! thanks. Do you know anyone that re-covers amps? Some fool re-covered mine with black carpet...
  2. Chris, You can try a 5751 and it may smooth things out a bit. No damage or harm. OK, I've found two a JAN-GE 5751 (JG-5751), and a sovtek 5751. What's the difference? Chris
  3. hey Miles, Have you ever messed with a VHT Valvulator? I need to change the tube in mine, and was curious what tonal difference/possible harm, if any, would come from using something other than a 12ax7. Chris

  5. Chris... Turn unused amps on a few times a year ... for a few minutes, as in two or three ... just to keep the caps from drying out.

  6. Hey Myles, A friend told me recently that tube amps, that aren't being used regularly, should be turned on once a month for at least 20 minutes. Is there any trueth to this? If so, what are the benifits? I've never heard about this, but he knows his stuff... Chris
