Thank you Paul. but I found nothing in the Book, expecting it to be in Controls and adjustments. Would you care to state a page number?

When was the "vintage" circuit with push/pull knob first installed?

Yesterday, I mailed away my last Ric, so I now have none.

Weber had a discount sale ,so it was time to get a 6A14 HP, which is a Princeton with 6l6 output tubes sorta like the Randall Smith mods in the early Mesa days. Cabinet is for a 15" speaker so I can use a JBL that's been collecting dust. Third time being lucky,this one arrived with all of the p...

More on the subject: I've learned to not use Facebook as an image source, the pictures move and disappear on posts,as happened in the above post.

In thinning the herd, I'm down to the first Ric I bought, a 370-12 RM and 2 4003s; FG and JG. These, and the 2020 were the only ones that went to work. I'd have kept the 2020 iffen it wasn't such a neck diver. The 4003 FG has sentimental value, it was my first Ric bass, bought just after I got home ...

I found a good deal on a cradle, in a closeout sale. It surely made assembly much easier:

Thanks to the panpanic of 2020, I've had no chance to take the Deluxe out 'n about, to see how well it performs in a club setting; a blues jam would also have let other's give it a try and offer opinions. I've given it some play time at home; still not sure if the speaker has broken in, but I DO lik...

Just found a fiver in JPS :

Here's one for Jeff :

It has a defective design, as the controls interact in a detrimental way. There's a mod or two for that.
It breaks up too quickly for my taste, but after consulting a schematic for the original '57 Deluxe,I've subbed a 12 AY 7 in V1 position. Might also try a 12AU 7, but I don't have one on hand.

I still visit and am grateful for the opportunity.

I've a couple of British Vintage 30s gathering dust that might be in consideration

I decided on a 5E3 from Ted Weber, as they had a Christmas sale on, with a discounted price. Stated lead time for kits is approximately 2-3 weeks mine shipped one day under 3 weeks. It was short 3 critical parts, I notified them and they promised to send them right away. Somebody dropped the ball, t...
