Please re-up!! :)

Can't find the one you said though. What about the SX Ursa? sure look nice! http://www.rondomusic.com/product3650.html Are those good as in Squier good, or good as in a proper bass good?

Have you got a link for them maybe? Can't find them anywhere. And are they available in europe ?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I am looking for a bass. Just a quick background, I have played guitars for many years, and have also some experience with bass. Since I have been taking music more seriously I have invested in only good gear in the past few years, starting from my DAW...

Ja, well thanks for the input but I was asking for books specifically. There are about 1000+ websites I found about the CAGED system and although some are useful I wanted a pointer to the best resource. For example this one: http://www.highcountryguitar.com/caged.htm is quite good...

Hi, I am looking for a book (preferably short) that is a reference for all scales and modes. Maybe if it includes information about the CAGED system and circle of fifths etc. would be a bonus. Basically any book which has all the modes and scales printed out in tabs (+ notes) to have as...

I HAVE DONE THE WORLD SOME GOOD. Omega_Void will NOT eat his hat :yow: I used a crocodile clip to short ciruit the switch (leaving it in permanently ON) and guess what.. I immediatly heard the transformer making a noise! The amp works like before now!! Many thanks for your input, I actually...

Hope you feel better soon dude. Well, the switch. On the one hand I hope it's not the switch, on the other it would be easier if it really is the switch. But how can it break? Can I repair it? Where can I get a replacement? Since there are two cables going in to that switch. A quick...

I did what I outlined in my previous post! All tubes seem to be working fine! I think it might really be the switch?!

Well I live in the UK, I don't know if there is a MESA repair shop (The address on the manual is from 1990). :P Ya, it's like the Mark series, with 4-band EQ though! To anyone interested. Here's a schematic: http://tubefreak.com/studio.gif Basically, I just discovered that the standby...

Upon closer listening, throwing the switch makes a tiny difference in sound. As if there is a lowpass in one position and not in the other. So maybe the switch is alright. I cannot explain the leakage when in standby though. Wtf ?

So I checked if all the cables are in their place (they are) and unplugged the tubes and put them back in. No change. I will buy a set of new tubes (four 12AX7 and one 12AT7 for the reverb). Funny thing I noticed, there were three stock Mesa 12AX7 in there, and one no name 12AX7A. What's the...

I tried tapping them with a pencil, no lightshow or noise whatsoever. The spring from the reverb was unhooked, but it didn't change anything after putting it back into position. It's a Mesa Studio Preamp (1986).

Thanks for your reply. Upon inspection of the manual I am still a bit confused. It shuts of the signal at the effects send stage. Does that have anything to do with the Effects return output or are we talking about the ouput from the main outs? It's true, maybe the switch is buggered, I...

What do you mean by some cable halfway in ? Also, there are 4 preamp tubes. Two for each channel, so theoretically the problem should only be on one of the channels if the tubes are blown... The real problem is that I can hear the same signal when either in standby or not in standby, which...
