DrChrisMD Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hey, all. I know this is more of an amp-related question, but here goes. I have a 130 watt mono- Samick bass amp that I play my guitar through 'cause I love the fat sound I get. Anyways, the thing is at least twenty five years old and the knobs crackle, pop, or squeal when I come within three inches of anything on that thing. I'm wondering this: In order to keep it, should I simply get the knobs and stuff cleaned and repaired, or could I replace the preamp for a guitar preamp...I'm just curious if that's possible. And if yes, what info would I need to gather to get the shop-keep to find me one that matches. thanks drchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Modding/replacing the preamp will probably lose you that fat sound you like, and probably cost you more than the whole thing is worth - chances are that cleaning the pots, and maybe replacing the filter caps in the power supply will get rid of the rice crispies. Is it solid state or tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
