Metro PTP in a Fender '59 Reissue Bassman?

Post by Dax-The-Ax » Tue Mar 28, 2006 10:46 am

Hello folks, well, the tweaker inside of me created by George still lives! I bought a cheap $199.00 Strat, had the frets replaced, installed new electronics, pots, Seymour Duncan pickups, hardtail bridge and even sanded the neck and installed a vintage Strat decal, i am a nerd! I am buying a Fender Bassman 4x10 combo and was thinking about putting in a PTP. The kits from Torres and all the others just seem low quality, and if installed by them, the wiring is messy and just nasty looking. They use Orange Drops, not good enough for me. would it be difficult to put in a Metro PTP with Sozo's? George, do you make such boards. Opinions please

The JTM45 board would be close, the circuit is almost identical. It's roughly the same size as your 50-watter's boards so check to see if it will fit and mount up OK before ordering.
Weber has fiber circuit cards like Fender used, I've got a set here that might even work for a Fender RI. I can look into it further if you like......

I'm interested, I'm borrowing a 4x10 bassman ltd atd the weekend to try as a 'smaller' alternative to the head and 4x12 cab for smaller venues cos I can't seem to get along with a 2x12. I've only tried it in the store and seemed very bright. Gonna give it a go anyway. One of George's boards would be very interesting.
