Bass Switch Fender 5E3

[Travis]

Hi everyone!

I read I can changue the input Cap of 0.1uf with a 0.022uf to get less flabby bass.

My question is If I can use a switch to changue the cap

With an On/On switch??

It´s a kit of tubetown.

Thank everyone

Someone can help me ?

I hate to answer a question with a question but where are you planning on putting the switch?

For my 5e3 build I kept the normal channel stock and modded the bright channel. That way between the two channels and the option to jumper them i can cover a ton of ground.

I want to have the option to changue. Maybe this is what im looking

I'm just starting a 5E3 build, so ... subbed!

So much info at Robinette's site!

I'd definitely go for the 3-way switch — I mean, if you're already going to the trouble of having the switch in there, may as well exploit it to its fullest potential.

Hi again guys, I´m looking to one 5F6A now.

you know if changue the tone stack in this way could be a good idea?

I will use it with 1x12 or 2x12.

thanks

I also saw I can use the AB763 tone stack in a 5F6A build, could be a good a idea?

From what I understand about tweeds, you'd be taking a relatively mid-forward circuit (tweed) and turning it into a mid-scooped one. Why? Just build a non-reverb AB763 if you want that tone stack.

@Feral Feline - That website is a treasure trove! I built a 5E3 head last summer and went back with a few RR mods: Lead Channel and the 3-way NFB mod. Those two alone turned it from a one trick pony into a highly versatile tone machine!

I want the breakup of a tweed if I turn Up and if I turn down i want the clean tone of a black :/

From what I understand, the tweed tone stack (even a TMB) is not equal in execution to an AB763. The Bassman uses a cathode follower tone stack, which (allegedly) has richer harmonics than the plate-driven tone stacks of the BF amps. Also, something something "insertion loss".

Here's the link I'm summarizing from:

So maybe is better build AB763 or just changue the tone stack like here.

Have fun, and good luck! I'm currently 8-9 amp builds in.. It's just as addicting as building pedals.

I´m worried about to get to many bass from the original circuit

Yes, I love build this and I´m learning a lot

That's what I'm doing with my build ... well, the head part. Haven't entirely mapped out what mods I want. First thing is just to build it mostly stock, then tinker later.

Worked on it tonight while a bud worked on his 5F6. I broke two drill bits trying to drill the ears for head-mounting.

Offtopic question.

Tonal diferences between this two amps?
