Hi chums

Does anyone have, or can point me to towards a circuit diagram
(Schematic) for an SWR Baby Blue bass amp.

At this point all I need to know is the value of the Master Volume pot.

Cheers

Assuming someone has totally removed it and lost it so nothing to measure, I
don't see what harm you can do by trying 10K,50K or 100K log or lin. Its not
as though you will put in a 50 ohm one. Then just optimisation.


The master vol pot had been changed by a local shop, after which the amp
lost it`s 'sweet spot' I suspect the wrong value was fitted. I could
fiddle about trying various pots and giving the amp back to the customer
each time he has a gig to try out, but it`s far easier to fit the
correct value and do the job right.



SWR - anything to do with Simms Watts ?


Unlikely, SWR are an American company, the venerable Simms-Watts were
British. I used to be a Simms Watts dealer, sadly they never really made
the leap from making (excellent) valve amps to solid state.
