Funny you say that. He's asking 75. It comes pre-torn apart with no pickups as well haha.

So I'm looking for a project guitar, and someone has offered to sell me an Aspen Les Paul copy. I can't find too much about them, but from what I have found it seems like it could be a pretty decent guitar. Does anyone have one of these, or know anything about them? When they were made, when...

Hey guys, My brother just got a pretty good deal on a MIM Fender J Bass and a MIK Squier P Bass (1995 Vester) package deal on craigslist. Now he wants me to buy the Squier. Does anyone know anything about the Vester korean squiers? From what I've read so far, they don't seem like anything...

So I'm not getting any current at the input of my reverb tank. The connections all seemed soldered alright. Everything else with the tank looks fine (springs are not broken). Any suggestions?

I was thinking it could be a tube too solely because I know my buddy has not replaced the tubes on that amp in a really long time. Why would a bad power tube cause the amp to keep blowing fuses though?

alright so I pulled out the reverb tank and so far I'm not getting much. I tested the input and outputs of the reverb tank and did not get anything. However I'm not sure I was testing at the right points. I tested at the ground outside the tank and the hot wire on the inside of the tank. Is...

we replaced the fuse again to see what would happen and this time the amp did turn on. However, when the standby switch is flipped to on the fuse blows... maybe this will be a little more helpful

I was playing guitar with my buddy the other day and his amp just turned off suddenly and it will not turn back on. We checked the fuses to see if that was our trouble and the fuse seemed to be fine. We also tried putting some other fuses in just in case but that did not work either. Does anyone...

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond...I have finals this week so I'm doing a lot of studying Anyways... Thanks for the responses guys I have isolated the buzzing sound I'm 99.9% sure that one of the power tubes is not as tight as it should be. So I'm thinking a tube tamer like others have...

I put the new chip in with the same orientation as the chip that was in previously. The old chip could have been in backwards though. I bought four chips so I guess I can experiment a little. I guess I could use a meter to check the Vcc and ground pins on the chip to see if there is any voltage...

I switched the i.c tonight and that did not fix my problem :nope

If I left the amp unplugged for a while wouldn't the capacitors discharge eventually?

I'll be sure to check out the tl072 as well. I do not hear anything when i hit or move the amp.

very true... I found some new on newark.com for $0.48 a piece. I'll buy a couple that is a good idea. I take it these chips are not soldered to the circuit board, correct? Also would I need a "cradle" for the chip?

I think I'm going to take it in somewhere and have them check it out, let me know whats wrong with the reverb for sure, and then I'll try to fix it myself depending on how much they'll charge to fix it. That is unless there is some easy way to find out whether something is loose, or the IC is...
