I have owned a Music Man 65W 2-12 amplifier from the late 70's for a few years now and noticed that the tone and character of the amp has slowly deteriorated. When I purchased the amp I was surprised because of the lack of clean, clear, headroom I was expecting as well. I think that the speakers are fine but I am considering replacing them. I have never worked on this amplifier besides changing tubes and just had a few inexperienced questions. Any advice would be appreciated!
1. What are some basic/common steps I could take to restore this amp and "tighten the screws" so to speak.
2. If I were to change the speakers, what type would be desirable in this amplifier? It has the original 2-12 Alnico (18) speakers in it now.
3. Is the entire process going to break my wallet? I'm hoping to bypass my local guitar/amp repair man because of unsatisfactory work and high prices.
Thanks for you time
Ryan Chandler
