I just tried an Accutronics 3 spring medium decay tank in my '65 PRRI and it still has way too long of a decay. I am going to try a Mod 8AB1A1B, Short Decay, 3-Spring and hope it comes in around 2 seconds. The original Ruby that came with the amp is supposed to be short decay and it's crazy long.

Squier Precision basses are a great platform for modifications.

So is there a kit to make one of these somewhere? Eventually, I would like to make and amp, and I would love a Bassman with 4 celestion cream backs.

Fender just announced the new Tonemaster tweed 59' Bassman, coming soon! I won't be interested in one as I prefer real tube tone, however Fender did add some cool new attractive features to it. Its good that Fender is listening to the market demand and added things like effects loop, reverb etc. to the amp. YT reviewers are going to have a big day once they all get their hands on one, soon. It will be a hot seller.

They call that interference distance between parts and wires a difference of inverse squares or something like that. As you get closer by X distance the dB of signal interference squares and then distance X closer again and it squares itself again. I am 100% sure I got the terminology 100% wrong but the concept is 97% correct. Some types of ionizing radiation work the same way.

Beautiful work!

When you do the job properly, you effectively reap double rewards: Beauty... and Reliability!

Wow! This sounded great with the mods. Now I want o JTM45.

Lyle, you Are such a honest person. A real human with such a special knowledge of your trade. I live in Sweden, but spent my time in Nashville in the earls 70 ties. Did know nothing about amps. Learning so much from you, that I am turning in my fender sf amps to a good swedish tech for service. Got they blackfaced via vintagefender amp repairs. They sound great👍

You played Dust in the wind by Kansas. That song made me wanna play acoustic and made me buy an Ovation. ❤

Did part one get pulled? I can't seem to find it...

So beautiful! I am happy : )

Pure zen

"Red right sounds political"?? It sounds nautical to me...."red right returning". How many sailors/boaters here??

Hey Lyle, how do I get in touch with you for a mod package to my AC30? I’ve emailed but haven’t heard back. Thanks man!

Lyle, I've viewed all the videos on this amp and in the previous video on this amp you show as one of the mods you did was to change out the cathode bypass cap on V1 from 25uf to 1uf and you removed the bypass cap, another 25uf completely on the second triode. I this video I see that the second triode cap has been reinstalled. Is this correct? I'm asking as I'm modding my Blonde Bassman build to match your recommendations. Thanks!

Excellent as always. Thanks.

Fantastic detailed work that makes me happy, can't wait to see more.

"...semi-rotten cotton"

This episode is perfect. By that I mean the flow and content are perfectly balanced. This leaves a good taste and the want for more.

how come all amps don't have a 47nf cap at the standby switch? Is this a common practice?

Nice work, but man, those old Fender eyelet boards are ugly, and the connections on the back... ugh. I know it's iconoclastic, but since it's already "player grade" I would have swapped it out for a turret board on standoffs, with all connections visible and accessible on top. One minor correction: the 68k input resistors are mixers, not "grid stoppers" which need to be physically on the socket pins. I'm sure you know that, but others may not.

Great explanation! Could you comment on the use of frequency compensation that some amp builder's implement for this style of MV to address the impact of the loss of negative feedback? Cheers!

Yeah a lot of the mud positions sounded muddy. I didn’t mind the sound of the booster, there’s a use for a heavy treble sound. Overall sounds a great guitar! Good looking, and really nice sound!

12:40, this would be very cool to have a 50 watt setting, but you are missing the point. The amp is supposed to be a lightweight, modern reliable version of the original, and not stray far from the original. The attenuator is for being able to play at home or smaller gigs maybe, and the xlr out is for gigs or easy recording. This amp isn't meant to be better than the original, it is rather meant to be as close as possible.

Absolutely beautiful work. Cheers, Alan Tomlinson

Absolutely stunning work Lyle, to tell the truth, I wouldn’t have expected anything less judging by your previous work you have posted. Cheers 🍻.

Rotten Cotton is going to be the name of my next music group 😄

Does your 1958 Bassman have *linear* volume pots? My 1960 5F6A does, and they're factory original, matching date codes. I've seen same in most later 5F6A along with the "non-scratchy" presence control circuit with a 25K pot.

What’s crazy is, as soon as you started playing on it I could smell the Fender amp smell coming through the video…

Well done sir. Looks great!

Maybe I missed it, did you say you cleaned it? 🙃

Lyle you are a true artist. What would you charge for a two-week apprenticeship?

Stunning !!

Mahalo Lyle! Yes, I agree. Nice and orderly.

It makes me happy to see such attention to detail.

Incredible series! Great to see so many people here. Video quality is superb

You said the high end didnt sound vintage but were not on the vintage speaker sim

"Vomitish" - Something that resembles, but is not quite vomit. 🤮

Wow!

After watching the repairs progress, these amp demonstrations are like the icing on the cake. I admit I sometimes skip ahead during the repair video to hear what the finished amp sounds like.

The bass pot is a 1964 cts, I'm watching on a 65-inch tv ,lol God, i would L❤VE to be able to restore an old 5f6a or JTM. Good lord, you have my envy, Lyle !!

Watching on my newish computer monitor instead of phone tonight. Image looks as fresh as the amp restoration Lyle!! There is a “64 Bassman head and cab with webers down the street for sale. Would it sound anything like what your rebuilding?

The difference between when that amp first came in and where it is at now is extremely stark and amazing!

Very nice work.

Your layout work is superb. Some very nice video that will come in handy and hopefully here in the near future to use on my Brother n Law's 1958 Fender Bassman. We have been threatening to go back in and replace all the electrolytics at a minimum since the day we resurrected it after a 20 year Rip Van WInkle nap 5 years ago. A previous owner of the amp was a professional bass player and gigged with a lot so we know there are most likely some weak links in it so it doesn't get fired up as often and babied at that when it does. I am a believer in full restoration and use rather than Keep it Original Museum Piece. What good is a Model T if you can't drive it? I just sent a links to my Bro n Law.

Beautiful work Lyle

This series is a real treat! Thoroughly enjoyable and it's looking like a picture perfect example.

Beautifully presented. Beautifully executed. As I progress in this hobby, I have learned that this level of quality requires only a slight increase in effort. Very satisfying.

sweet . Cheers
