Theseĭampers are NOT for 9-pin power tubes, such as the EL84 or 6BQ5. Note: Tube shields will not fit over the damper rings, and must be removed from the tubes. Set of 6 rings - will equip either 2 or 3 tubes, depending on the number of rings you choose for each tube.

This amp is NOT a beginner's project!Ī successful build requires that you can read (and understand!) a schematic diagram, you know how to use various measuring devices, and you have some experience working with voltages over 60V.TUBE SHIELD, BAYONET "PUSH AND TWIST" TYPE, ALUMINUM, 1 15/16" TALL RessourcesĪs always, you can get the kit of this amp in TT-Online-Shop Warning!Ĭare is necessary during construction! The voltages used in this amp are potentially fatal. The output power of the HoneyB is around 10 watts, so enough for home and studio use and depending on the circumstances even for some small club gigs. A pretty interesting circuit concept, which was rarely used in the field of guitar and bass amps, mostly because of cost reasons.Īlthough the HoneyB is intended for bass guitar it can also convince as a guitar amplifier, which makes it a reliable and versatile device. As result, the versatility of this amplifier is significantly improved without leaving the puristic idea behind, as can be seen on the simplicity of the circuit.Īnother deviation from the original can be found in the power section, which is operated in ultra-linear mode in the HoneyB to allow a slightly tighter response.Īnother unusual feature of the HoneyB aka Musicmaster: instead of a tube based phase inverter, a transformer is used for this task. Nowadays, this is hard to imagine, so we took the liberty to change the tone control to a typical three-way tone stack. The ambitious bass player had to settle with only one “Tone” and a “Volume” knob a few decades ago. Originally the Fender Musicmaster bass amp was designed as a complement to the Musicmaster bass guitar and was very puristic equipped.

The HoneyB, as a replica of the Fender Musicmaster, is designed especially for the old-school faction among the bass players who desire a warm and full bass sound.
