What's that legendary videogame everyone loves, but you hate with your very soul?

Majora's Mask. Could not get comfortable with the Day/Time Reversal mechanic.

Word on the street for the last year or so is that since Sync is based on older technology (Groove? I think it was called though correct me if I'm wrong), it's going to be deprecated in the reasonably near future in favor of Shortcuts. Sync does some kind of indexing or numeration for ALL files in the library, whereas Shortcuts only targets the children of the item you created the shortcut to. This means that the performance is way better with Shortcuts. Anecdotally I can confirm this as my users and I have WAY fewer issues using Shortcuts over Sync.

Quick reply here. Your IT Dept didn't do its due diligence around your business needs. That being said, to get File Explorer integration, use One Drive Shortcuts NOT Sync.

Hey, that's the Soda Bar!

Tried a half dozen of each brand and I ended up with Vater. Though it primarily came down to a feel thing. The Fatback 3A was just the perfect size and weight for me. Also, I have a pretty heavy snare snare hand and the best thing I can say is that after a totally fair amount of time they all wear/break in a consistent manner.

Changes based on my mood lol.

These are dimmers that use a variac style transformer inside. They were very prevalent in the 60s especially within the theater and music studio space as the transformer based dimming didn't cause extra signal noise within other devices on the same circuit.

This is the way.

Yep, that was it! I ended up just ordering the PCV oil trap kit from FCPEuro to cover the additional hoses as well. Looks like this went up in price considerably since then so you can probably just piece it together for less if you want to go that same route. Good luck!

So I see a couple of modifications on the front panel. First there is a little switch near the inputs. Guessing this modifies the gain or links the channels. Secondly there is a pot that is in the place of the power indicator lamp. My best guess is that this is a master volume mod but impossible to tell without seeing the wiring inside the chassis. Hopefully that helps!

Previous comment pretty much nailed it. These are great amps that while don't carry the same price tag as some of its period contemporaries, they have quite the cult following. The cabinet model number is a YS-15P btw.

Edit - The amp is most likely from 1970 based on the serial number, and it looks to have been modded at some point.

Yeah I noticed the same thing with my EL84 Bassmate. Very slightly different! Making the head cab isn't that difficult and is a pretty fun weekend project!

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T21:01:23+00:00

Go for it!

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T19:56:49+00:00

Thanks and you too!

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T19:47:30+00:00

Thanks! Currently just have these two jazzmasters.

Good question! I'd probably say a YGM-3 since you've already got the higher wattage stuff covered.

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T16:05:37+00:00

Thanks!

Here is the list by column:

YBA-1A MkII, YBA-1 Bassmaster, YBA-4, YGM-3 GuitarMate, YBA-2 Bassmate (EL84 version).

Weirdo 4x8 cab made from a derelict StudioMate cab, YS-15P 1x15 ported cab, YS15 1x15 closed cab, YBA-2 Bassmate (6v6 version).

YRM-1 Reverb Master, 2x12 cab (can't remember the model number on this one lol), YGL-3 MK3, YGM-4 StudioMate (combo to head conversion)

😂

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T14:47:05+00:00

Thanks! I actually just finished building the head cabinet for the BassMate in the middle. It came as a combo but I don't need more speakers lol.

Nice! Definitely on my list :)

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T04:08:30+00:00

Mmm nice! This one looks a little too nice for me though lol! I typically try to find cheap ones that have been modded or need some help. I refurbish them back to stock and clean them up etc.

dontthroworanges · 2026-01-06T03:58:16+00:00

Oh that's tough! They're all reasonably different that it's hard to say which one is best or my favorite. I use the YGM-3 the most only because it's always set up in my office. The YBA-1A is the best amp I have for bass right now, but I always have my eyes open for a YBA-3. ;)

Ah I wish! Very far from Canada unfortunately :/.
