Single channel AB763 build, converting to bass use?
« on: May 18, 2016, 09:18:18 pm »
Evening all...I built Sluckey's circuit, upped the power to SR specs. What changes would be in order to make it a low power jam/studio bass amp, with an appropriate speaker cab? TIA-

I would replace the AB763 preamp with a bass friendly preamp.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I like Ampeg B15. Even the Fender Bassman AA864 sounds better than the AB763 for bass guitar.
