I've used them in hi fi circuits with pleasing results. But these are still warm and not harsh like a 715 or 716 Polypropylene cap. I like them in certain amps, especially if it's a mushy sounding amp. You can buy them at Antique Electronic Supply. If a customer want's them I am happy to install.Īnd finally, I'm also a fan of the Polyester Sprague Orange Drop, the 225P series. I also like Sozo caps, they're nice and I typically use them when I build an amp, but not for general repairs as they're expensive.
#FENDER MUSICMASTER BASS SCHEMATIC SERIES#
They're physically bigger than a Mallory 150 series which is also a fine choice.
I'm a fan of the Mojo Dijon caps myself, they sound not too unlike a good old Fender blue Ajax cap. 0047 is merely rolling off highs to ground so it's not so critical there which is why I reused that one. I probably didn't use it cause I don't like that particular brand of cap that Fender was using at the time. I have had mystery issues be something as minor as this. Oh, and now that I'm thinking about it, do check your pots as well, hit them with good quality De-oxit contact cleaner. Chances are it's good but you never know. 01 connected to the anode of the 12ax7 (either pin 1 or 6). But like I said, if this is a recent phenomenon I would check your signal cap, the. If you have a look at a Musicmaster Bass Amp schematic and a Deluxe 5E3 first thing to notice is the cap values. The tone stack in these does tend to roll a lot more highs off than your typical Fender amp. If it's a recent problem the first thing I check is your preamp tube, next would be your signal caps. With regards to the tone control sounding funny, I'm assuming you are using this for a guitar amp?Īnd the problem just developed or was it odd in the first place? And yes, these do sound good stock and I'm a fan of the CTS speaker. I don't bother with the Variac, no need really.
#FENDER MUSICMASTER BASS SCHEMATIC UPDATE#
No biasing required.Īh! Thanks for the correction! I'll update it. And, you can just buy a pair of tubes and drop them in. The later ones used 6V6 tubes, I think these sound more English than a 6V6 model. Schematics shown in BLUE are missing from the archive. These amps can be a real treat for those on a budget or those who just like a wonderful tone!Īnother nice thing about these is they use the rather easy to find 6AQ5 tube. Great amp for a jazz player who doesn't need fusion volume. The customer will be replacing the speaker, I would go with a Weber English series or a real Celestion. Think 18 Watt Marshall with a $300 pricetag.
Jangly top end with that nice euphonic mid. If I drop a new one in there this either sits around my tiny space or becomes sea turtle food eventually. I could sell the customer a new cap here but why? This one is perfectly good and I'm a reduce reuse recycle kind of guy. I'm using a 250pf cap for the highs and if you notice, I'm re-using that.
