The AA-864 Fender circuit is the most respected of all the Blackface Fender Bassman circuits, and other circuits are often converted to AA-864 specs. In this long and rather complex video we will first overhaul a mint original AA165 Bassman circuit to optimize its audio performance. Then we will convert the circuit to AA-864 specifications and provide an AB comparison of he two circuits. Audio comparisons will include 1.) The Normal Channel of both circuits 2.) An AB comparison of the AA-165 vs AA864 Bass Channels 3.) An AB comparison of both circuits with equal gain. In addition, we will open an incredible gift, be visited by Mitzy, enjoy a product evaluation, and have more fun than a barrel o' monkeys ;). See Table of Contents (below).

Sometime these groups and communities are the only social interaction I get.

A number of transformers were made by a company in Canada called Hammond Manufacturing and rebranded for the US market.

I think from a bass instrument point of view, the 864 would be far superior to the 165 preamp, and I agree, raising the treble control might just pull those brighter freqs up to a guitar level. The 864 certainly has gutsier sound for guitar! It would be interesting to see an audio freq sweep on the scope to see the circuits' frequency response compared, but we'll leave that to another video! Very nice work, Uncle Doug, and, as usual, fantastic presentation! Wishing you Health, Happiness and Prosperity in the New Year! 😀

@EJP286CRSKW

@87mini Lowering the 500pF capacitor to 250pF raises the _frequency_ at which the treble control starts to take effect, so it actually lowers the treble. I think this is a change in the wrong direction. I prefer 500pF here. AB175 has 850pF which is too far the other way.

@Jake-fo3rg
@Jake-fo3rg Год назад
I'd guess that the circuit changes introduced in the 165 series were to clean up the response of the bass channel for bass guitars (which is a bit too heavy in bass and mid frequencies). It would be interesting to compare the sounds of both circuits when using a bass guitar. Historically, guitarists loved the bass channel of the 164 series because of the heavy mids. But you have to love mids as they and cannot be easily dialed out with only treble and bass controls.

@alanlevin167
@alanlevin167 Год назад
@@UncleDoug You need to add a Mid control like in a twin reverb. A very easy job if this is what you want --I put one in my original '65 Deluxe. Also Blackface Bassmen were and are lovely guitar amps. They were and are not great bass guitar amps, especially compared to Ampegs of the same era. 2 reasons I can think of: AMpeg cabinets are much larger than Fender speaker cabs, considering the speakers inside-more air probably helps. Ampeg cabs are 'Portaflex' design and, though they have no real port, they leak some air and are sort of 'ported'. Fender cabs are sealed tight (except for the 1/4" speaker jack of course). Makes for a tubby sound I think--better than the flabby sound and blown speakers of unsealed cabinets but not as good as modern cabinets designed with ports using Theile-Small principles. The Fender amp is much better for bass when used with a better cabinet.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be interesting to see a video where different bass players would play through a vintage Bassman and give their opinions. I suspect that in the 60s the Bassman was used much more on stage, in the studio it would be more likely an Ampeg...

I replaced the whole floor in that car for him,... grinding down spot welds (I'm a welder),... the new floor fit perfect, like the factory one,... when it was done,... he asked me how much he owed me,... I told him "nothing",.... he said "you gotta have something",... I said "no I don't",..... when he asked why,... I said "because I still got the better end of the deal"..... which I did,.... we're still all going strong,..... the clock doesn't stop,.... so I can't tell you how much I loved this video,.... take care,.... we were lucky to all have come from a good time,... thank's again........

Your videos are superb mr. Doug! You take your time to explain everything you're doing, and your diction is perfect - I can easily understand everything you say even as a non-native speaker. I recently modded my Fender Champion 600 (followed a tutorial, my first time modding an amp) and felt huge gratification that it turned out great. Shortly after I ran into your channel and it inspired me to learn more about amps and maybe try building my own as soon as I have my workplace ready :) Thank you for great content!

I've been watching you for years and years. You are my favorite amp repair guy. The little quips are worth it alone. But I have learned much from you. The gift of the Fender amp schematics was tops. Polished metal binder - wow! It took a lot to put that together and to decorate the box. The markers and cleaner? Amazing! I have marked up a lot of drawings since age 22, I am retired in NM. Doing amp checks against schematic would be great with that tool set. I thank that person as a customer of this channel. Take care, man.

I agree, Robert, the amp schematic index was an over-the-top gift.
