Univox Stage 65 Demo & Fix up!
Univox made a crazy amount of amps - this solid state 12" combo was one of the later versions, after they started using the Stage name. It's held up great for a 50 year old amp! In this video, I fix the reverb and give it a 3-prong plug, along with a thorough cleaning.
You can hear the various tones present throughout the video, and at the end there are some other examples with pedals too!
As always, DON'T OPEN UP YOUR AMP UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. There can be some major voltages present.

Refinishing a guitar body
Переглядів 102 місяці тому
I love this Montana Cans glitter spray - it's a nitrocellulose lacquer spray paint with glitter baked in, it's a really cool sparkly effect. Mixed with some white, black and a bunch of clear coat, watch me refinish this chipped up finish and give this bass a new vibe. Process : Take the neck and electronics off re-paint as desired ( many thin coats ) clear coat ( many thin coats ) sand with pro...

This synth evokes the age of 8 bit tones coming from devices like the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It is first and foremost a NOISE maker, but you can get some beautiful sounds out of it too! It's honestly really fun to play, it's limitations are part of the charm. Enjoy hearing a range of sounds you can get from this bonkers instrument. I have a feeling that the SYNC input would mak...
Cort Yorktown - A budget hollow body with a heart of gold

I really enjoy hollow body guitars - they have a great sound that's useable for lots of different contexts. The acoustic tone is good for recording (if you mic the f-hole), or practice unplugged. There isn't a ton of info on this model Cort Yorktown - they still make a version of it, but there's no documentation about the natural finish one. This may be a signature model?? Hollow body, Alnico I...

3 main mods for this amp: 12" speaker (cut a new baffle) - It's an Eminence GA-SC64 Bigger, multitap OT (Hammond 1760H). Seafoam Green Tolex and a Wicker Cane grill! I made this video to demo some of the tones you can get, as I need to clear out some amps. At some point I may re-build this amp with a point to point setup but for now, I should really get down to 2-3 amps total haha This amp is a...

These basses are super cheap still and are truly fantastic. The Super Ferrite pickups are some of the best single coils I've ever heard. They're thick and punchy, neck pickup is deep and the bridge is burpy, but still beefy. Fairly low noise for single coils too! Great for recording, or live use - I'll be using it mostly for recording. Build quality is solid, wiring is clean, and it plays real ...

MIM Fender Zone Bass REVIVED
Переглядів 39910 місяців тому
This bass was made in the early 2000s, as a continuation of the P Lyte bass from Japan. It's got a light body, modern sounding pickups and a slim neck. HOWEVER some of the neck's apparently were WEAK and therefore got a permanent bow in them. This was one such bass. So I replaced the neck. BUT even that was tricky because the heel width is 1.375" and there are 22 frets. No one has a neck like t...

This one was a fun job! It was super rusted up, not making sound, loose joints, lots of little things to repair. Took me the better part of a day to fix it all up, but WOW. The only thing I replaced was the busted up tone cap and a broken potentiometer. I used a NOS paper-in-oil cap of the same value, because I still hear a difference in the cap composition - sure, maybe it's a placebo but IT'S...

This is a bass from the 80s / 90s - either made in Texas or Indonesia (my guess is Indonesia). It had been stripped for parts so I gave it : - new bridge - new tuners - new nut - shimmed the neck - thorough cleaning - new strings Now it plays great! It would be a killer beginner bass or backup for a pro. Amp sim is the UAD Ampeg SVT, I also use an EHX Hot tubes for overdrive at one point. I'll ...

Found one for $80 on marketplace, and I can tell you with the onboard fuzz, this thing dooms
Thanx so much for your wonderful sounds and touch, takes me closer to the return I observe in sound.
good job i subscribe to your channel, thanks for sharing
2 years later update - I have bought ANOTHER one of these (pls help) and tried some other things to get an EVEN BETTER result. In a nutshell, there's SO much treble boosting in this circuit and there are 2 cold biased tube stages in a row. Along with a replacement of the large electrolytic caps, I tried this: Remove C3 & C6 (treble peakers / voltage divider bypass) Remove C5 (cathode bypass cap that's boosting HF on a gain stage) - This turns V1B into a slight cold clipping stage Reduce R15 to 1.5K - changes V2A into a more evenly biased gain stage Using 2 x 12AT7 tubes I left the tone stack the same this time, but now ALL of the range on the treble is useable - with a dark tone, or a bright tone available. It starts to break up around noon on the gain knob, can do fairly clean and still has that fuzzy insanity at the top of the gain stage. It's like adding a whole new Marshall / Hi-Watt channel to my amp! I'll make a video showing this at some point.
Hey, could you make a quick video showing the inside? I'd be curious to see. Thanks.
Ive got this same exact guitar but when i received it , it was no where near in that good of shap but its fixable
I have a '91 Peavey Foundation with Rotosound flats and love it. What strings are you using? Thank you.
I was just given one of these guitars. Needs a little love but I’m sure I can get it working again
So once the grill cloth is wet you just have to let it dry or have to use a hairdryer?
Yep, install it wet then just let it dry! It'll tighten up a bit as it dries too
Awesome! Just picked one of these up for a hundred bucks and can’t wait to play it
Interesting
👍👍👍👍
Your not going to find the source of the issue ? The resistor over heated , it wasn’t the cause of the issue. Just from the video I see it needs a recap. All the electrolytics gotta go. At least the power section. Check bias as well. That’s a start . Id expect it to be repaired then. I wouldn’t run it as is, if the amp runs hot (it does) you’ll end up damaging the leads by the PcB mounted tube sockets and that’s a time consuming and fragile repair
Hey dude, nice playing.. I used on this track ua-cam.com/video/_A9ZjkaO2fA/v-deo.htmlsi=PYBOvjUr5BhLAcw1 through fender twin sim.
Thanks for a great review! Nice playing and tones.
Again... This is the Paradise? Sounds like a celestial melody.
Hey Jack, your venturing into Paul Denman land he loves the Trace Elliot line. Smooth Operator, Cherry Pie ect. It's got that vibe in Stringray mode!
Something about that hi fi kinda bass tone is so smooth
You can maje incredible sounds of this Poly 800 synth.
you sure can!
Are this alnico speakers?
It's an Eminence Legend Speaker 1258, which is Ceramic (eminence.com/products/legend_1258)
Nice one, Jack! A very interesting session. 👌🙂🎶
Thanks! It's a fun piece of kit

That was my 1st synth circa 85
Cool live! Thanks for using synth!)
It's such a fun one! I love it for textures in tracks and of course some total chaos
Your synth RULES !!!😁
Still have my 1985 Peavey, bought it brand new as a teenager.
Still have my 1985 Peavey, bought it brand new as a teenager.
I have this guitar and the pickups while great for solid body sounded muddy on hollowbody like this, I guess you know it already judging from how the bass strings sounded - you must have eq quite a bit for that. Good recording techniques make up for everything, it sounded good here, good job.
I generally like a very bright guitar sound, and this definitely takes some EQ on the amp at least to get there. I also stayed with roundwounds on this guitar instead of swapping for flatwounds for the same reason. Thanks!
Have you tried the Fury-800 vst?
I have not! I'll check it out
Jack you didn’t show Jack shit on how to change the grill cloth!
These have always been a great option. The earliest ones unfortunately use the old peavey truss rod that needs the special wrench. After having owned perhaps 100 of these, Dyna Basses, Forum, and Fury basses, I can say the later models are even better (but don't look as cool). They tend to have fewer quirks and oddball issues, however- the last of the USA model versions of these did not have the bi-laminated neck. The bi-laminated neck was a Peavey feature from the earliest days and was later licensed to G&L to use. It's a better neck and you can identify it by the two pieces used to make the neck.
I think mine has the weird truss rod- but I love the neck on this one!
Dam now I want one......
They're still out there for under $400 if you keep an eye out!
Interesting name of your clone. 😂
About a year ago, I recused a couple of Cary CAD 50 M Power amps and a Cary SLP94 Preamp from going in a dumpster. Also about to go in the dumpster was a AMC Not AIMS Personalized Vocal sound. At first look the AMC looks just like the AIMS. What is the difference between the two. Is the AMC an older version of vise a versa. I can't find much information on AMC. Would this make a good guitar or bass amp. any information would be much appreciated. The case is unusual as well, it is red with Metalic sparkle's very 70's flair.
I did some searching but couldn't find anything either! AIMS only existed briefly so it wouldn't surprise me if there were some of the same amps sold under a different name.
@@jackpaynebassist Thank you for the quick response. It definitely has me confounded where the name are different but the pictures online look identical.
Sounds cool! Did you relic that strat?
That was one a refinished in nitrocellulose!
@@jackpaynebassist paint wear is natural or you added that look?
@@DrDannyMannGuitar the body was beat up, i stripped it and refinished it! I left some dings and did some light relic'ing to it after too. Nitro feels the best to me, but it's gnarly to put on!
@@jackpaynebassist looks great! Good job man. I just got my first relic-ed guitar so Im noticing these things more
My father has one. Unfortunally it is not fully functioal anymore. I hope to find someone who can fix it.
Out of the box, Hondo guitars were garbage. The only thing they shred well is your fingertips.
There may be some survivorship bias at play- the ones that are still in circulation were the better ones. Or I just got lucky!

Thank you!
This is the excelent new music style
Thank you for this video. I have a Schecter Corsair that has a 34 inch fret. Would you Recommend XL length Labella flat wound? Instead of standard length
That actually might be a good idea, because of the floating bridge on that bass.
Did you find there to be a major volume drop when the tremolo is engaged?
Nothing major on this one, no
Alec John Such's uses Trace & Elliot Bass amp's and Cabinet's...
Interesting... what model of oscilloscope is it? how do you use it? awesome video!
It's one from ebay, they used to be like $20 - there are still many on there that are about $25-30. Just connect the +/- leads to the tip and sleeve of your 1/4" guitar cable!
Can the active part be disabled? Can the split-P be swapped out for a custom shop 62 version?
That's an option on any guitar! It just requires making a switch that cuts out the active preamp.
The cs62 should fit in there too
I just wish they weren't so fragile. Sounds divine on any instrument, really amazing on a Rhodes/Wurli as well
I haven't had reliability issues with mine, but any gear can get broken. This pedal is an always-on piece of my chain for everything!
What cabs do you use with this?
Whatever you like! I've always been partial to sealed cabs like the ampeg HE series
These amps sound awesome, however working on these amps are a pain.
Agreed on both points! Def underrated in tone, and almost all PCB amps are a pain to work on
Terrible sínte para la época y a un costo accesible Yo tuve uno y trabajé un montón con el
El sintetizador tiene muchos sonidos fantásticos.
What pickups and preamp.are in it?
It has its own Fender pickups from the original, I just replaced the preamp with a standard model.
Had one of these as a teen... I think it's horrible lol
This was my first bass, bought it from sears prob around 27 years ago when i was 13. If i could find another one of these i would buy it instantly
Second one is my favorite
That one was also my favorite! Those Russian germanium transistors were something special.
