Update Oct. 2, 2011 -  I will be taking this week off to take care of a medical issue and a brief family trip.  Therefore, the shop will be closed from October 2 until October 10. If you have an urgent need to get ahold of me, feel free to call me and leave a message.  I will be checking my messages periodically. Thanks for your patience and understanding. 

 

COMING - In the next few months, I plan on putting a "FOR SALE" page on the website. The page will show amps and cabinets that are finished and ready for sale, on a first come first serve basis. The price will be posted as well.   I will also be offering used vintage speakers, and other gear that I plan on liquidating.   

 

Update Sept. 17, 2010 - This is how to purchase our products...

  

If you are interested in purchasing an amp or cabinet, please send me an e-mail or call me, indicating what you would like to buy. I will prepare a PayPal Invoice with the firm pricing on it, and then send it to your e-mail address.  You review the invoice for accuracy, and then click a "Pay" button. You then are taken to PayPal's secure payment processing page.  You can use your PayPal account or major credit card to make the payment. The funds are then deposited in my PayPal account, minus the small payment processing fee.

 

Product Availability - Currently, all of my amps and cabinets are "build to order". This may change in the future, but for now that is how I do it.  It usually takes about a month from the time the order is received until you will receive your amplifier. I have a short wait list right now, but if you inquire, I will give you an estimated completion date. We do have some standard cabinets on the shelf,and those would ship ASAP. 

If your cabinet is out of stock, it usually takes about 10 days, to get it to you. 

 

Deposit, and Payments - For Amplifier orders, I will bill you for a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of the order. I use this deposit to purchase the more expensive parts such as transformers, speakers, cabinets and tubes.  When the Amp is complete and tested, and is ready to ship, I will invoice you again for the other 50% plus the shipping charges. I use Fedex Ground or Fedex Home Delivery, as it is the best deal I could find and Fedex takes good care of the package.  

 

Returns, Etc.

 

7 Day money back guarantee - If you purchase an amp or cabinet, and you are unhappy with it, you have 7 days to return it for a full refund. You will have to pay the shipping, and return it in the original packaging. It must be in like new condition. If it is not, you will have to pay a 10% restocking fee. 

 

If the amp is damaged in shipment, let me know as soon as you receive it, and we will work out how to get you another one.

 

Update Sept. 13, 2010: 

 

Welcome TALKBASS.COM members!  Thank you for the interest in my products and the inquiries that I have been receiving from you. I must admit that I am a bit overwhelmed by all the e-mails and calls.

 

It has come to my attention that some of the Product Flyers were incorrect. I discovered that some of the recent flyers that I posted on the site were not showing up, due to the webhost restoring my site to a previous date.  I am going through the website today, to made sure that the most current information

is available.  I have re-posted the correct flyers for the Model One Bass Amp and the 260-UL Bass Amp.

 

Changes to the site - I have made the decision to focus my attention on my best products at this time.  I am realizing that I need to limit the items that I can offer for sale at this time to a few products. Please see Products Page for more information.

Replacement Parts:

We can also help you find original parts and have a supply of New Old Stock (NOS) vacuum tubes. If you need something, just ask!
 
Getting that Sound If you need help getting "Your" sound right, I can help! 
 
I specialize in helping guitar and bassists get the sound they are looking for.  The players style, instrument, pickups and the guitars setup, choice of tubes, speaker and the cabinet are all critical factors. I can optimize the tube amplifier's circuitry to match these components, by dialing in the amplifier's tone and bias circuitry. I can do this WHILE YOU PLAY.  This allows you to hear the modification in REAL TIME.
 
Since the amplifier is a critical component of the overall sound, it's Gain Structure affects your overall technique and the amps overall response and tone.
If the Gain Structure in an amp is designed correctly, the amplifier will allow the player to feel the amps response yielding much greater control of the amps overall sound. I strive to build "touch sensitivity" into all my amplifiers.                     Dale Murrow
