The Amp Garage

Push-pull pot for one of the tone controls: you could use a SPST and put the larger cap in parallel with the smaller cap and avoid swithching noises at the same time..I like 10uf caps-less mud, just me....
YMMV.

The 75 is a prime candidate for modding. The OD channel just sucked ass...There have been successful Dumble conversions of that amp. No pitchforks here! I just don't want you to waste time on "that" part of the amp.

I'm wondering: are you building a 75?

Anyone try a Dumble style oval hole replacement back panel on their Deluxe Reverb? I wonder if it would improve bass response? I'm so spoiled by my 2x12" D-style cabinet. It would be great to get the same type response from my combo. Sometimes, I just don't wanna bring all that stuff and my DR is my...

I guess that would be "no". I wonder how a single 10" in an oval back cabinet would compare to a 12"?

I put a midrange control in the #2 input jack of my Bassman and really like having the added "control" it offers. The question's syntax was a bit unclear, so if I understand the question, then, I vote "YES."

I was curious about a 2 x 10' Dumble style cabinet; oval port on the rear panel. I was wondering if anyone had seen/built/heard one before. I have a handful of 10's lying around and thought it might be an alternative to my killer sounding, back breaking 2x12" cabinet....

I hope BillyZ doesn't mind. He's a contributor here: http://www.billyz.net/Fender%20Bassman%20Head%20mod.html Just an idea, a good one if you want my opinion. I also own an original 6G6B. Love it! But I also miss the 5 BF Bassman's I've owned and sold, also. I modded a friends AB165 to Trainwreck Ex...

Yes. I did that almost 13 years ago. S/N 209. Definitely HRM.
After this long, I don't think the owner or Mr. Dumble give a shit......

FYI: those CE cables don't last for working musicians. They are just not hardy. I went through a couple with internal breaks, then put MIDI jacks on the footswitch and amp. I now use a standard heavy duty MIDI cable. Your mileage may vary. All disclaimers apply Check with your dealer for details ......

Thank you! Means even more coming from one who owns the real thing!

Or not.....

I bet if you were charging your normal labor rate, it would have been cheaper to replace!!!

Good luck!

I was turned off in the mix. It took the 4000 watt PA to keep up with me!!!

It's all fun, 'cause there ain't no money in it...
