Here's my second tube amp build. A 5F1 "Champ" with a few modifications.

* Removed the fuse holder and installed a power switch (instead of using the power/volume pot.
* Used a 3-lug terminal ground to consolidate grounding
* Bought a brown tolex cab instead of tweed.

It sounds great and is pretty much noiseless.

The 2-string bass (The Hollywood) is complete! Mahogany body and neck, holly top and purple heart accents and fingerboard. Being a 25.5” scale we’re shifting strings to get standard tuning... .120 E, .105 A. The pickups are just a split Dimarzio Split P. This will be fun to play. .a.s.s.p.o.r.n
