I've started a Bassman Micro build. This will be my 2nd build (did a Mojotone Princeton Reverb earlier this year). This time, though, I wanted to also build the amp and speaker cabs. I've built two 1x12 speaker cabs and they're all done (and a British 18w TMB amp head cab just waiting for the electronics).
All the components for the Bassman Micro are ordered and on the way here. I initially thought I'd use up some extra 1/2" Baltic Birch I had left over from the other cabs, but for whatever reason, the router I'm using (or maybe the wood) had some massive tear out this evening. I thought of glueing it up anyway and just patching it with wood putty but that'd be a LOT of wood putty. So, instead, I'll re-cut new boards and do it out of 3/4" pine instead.
Surprisingly, I was able to order all the parts from Mouser, TubeDepot, and AmplifiedParts. But, it was a lot more than I thought it'd be. It should be a great amp when it's done though.
These are the mods I'm planning to include:
1. Three-way NFB: https://robrobinette.com/5F6A_Modifications.htm#3-Way_Negative_Feedback_Switch
1. JTM45 (???? I don't yet know what value I should use here)
2. None
3. Bassman Micro (15K)
2. Tube/SS Rectifier Switch
3. Tone Stack On | Off
4. 4 | 8 Ohm Speaker Output
5. Headphone Jack
I'll include pictures along the way. Thank you all who have already answered questions!
Here’s a pic of one of the 1x12 speaker cabs I built. I’ve got a Mojotone British BV-30H 30W 12" 8 Ohm in one of them and a 12” Mojotone Greyhound 70W 8 Ohm in the other.
