282581 2004-10-19 04:03:00 Hey,

I'm looking for a used bass guitar amp, I was wondering if anyone of a place where I can see classifieds for used amps beside TradeMe and Trade Exchange?

Also, if you have an amp you want to sell, let me know =D

ty,

Tom

282583 2004-10-19 11:30:00 hmmmm ... may be the subject of a different post ... I made a 100W mosfet bass amp out of a kit from [ the dark one ] DSE for bugger all money a couple of years back , also made own speaker box [ 18" celestion, horn loaded ] and it was plenty loud for the average party , with "live " drummer even , used distortion pedal as pre-amp ...is this any help ...?:| KatiMike (242)

282585 2004-10-20 09:05:00 As a matter ot fact, when I was in Napier about 2 weeks ago I stopped in there, great shop but they didn't have anything in my price range, I'm definatly going to check out that kit!

Thanks!

282586 2004-10-20 11:39:00 good fun [ and learning ] to build your own - looking at the DSE site the mos-fet amp would seem to have gone west , the 100w amp kit looks ok [ I once buit a power amp for a mate with 2 of these - sounded just fine and went to about "15" on the volume control ] , there are a few extra expenses like some flex , a box to put the thing in , sockets etc - but it'll deliver some useful watts - imho the preamp is crap - real noisy etc
Now I see a new 50w (www.dse.co.nz) unit with heat sink ...hmmm... may have to build one in order to opine...
Let me know if you'd like to know about a few books that give some theory and practical advise about speaker boxes , all good fun ...
Mike :D
