Fairfield County Signature (Two-Rock JM Sig) Build Thread

[jazzbass]

Dear Ryan,

done, I did it by studying some Hiwatt and Rob Robinette amp schematics and adapting his suggestion a bit. On the third attempt I found the right component values.

Now I'm looking for news on # 004 by Ceriatone and Rafael on TAG.
I add a couple of photos of the JM / Fairfield, it was easy to build it with your excellent boards.

A hug.

Wow!! Very clean!! I love the way those F&T filter caps look.

For those building the TRJM using a Ceriatone JM100 Chassis, Ron posted a great Google Photo album to show off his build at each step.

I also did a narrative walkthrough of the photo album with my $.02 lol

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! My buddy was sending me a video of one of his "rogue JMs" and I couldn't help but notice how the reverb sounded a bit different than my JM so I revisited my stash of real JM Sig pics and I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I might have been wrong about the mixing resistor in the 1 of 25 Mayer Signatures. I have a new computer monitor now and it's clear that the resistor is 125K and not 226k like some rogue Mayer's that had top-side components. My guess is those amps had a 250k reverb pot, so the 226k mixing resistor would offset the additional levels. The reverb is glorious now and I did notice a different feel under my fingers. I know @norburybrook mentioned he liked the 226k resistor choice in his because the mixture/feel was better so YMMV!
