Love for music leads me here

Dear all,


I have studied electronic engineering (have a masters), after which I went onto a career in IT, then went back into academia and got a doctorate in materials science and micro/nanotech - and am now working in the industry in the latter fiels (micro/nanotech). And somewhat recently I took on my old hobby of playing the bass guitar, and everything surrounding that hobby is very interesting and important for me. And that also means a return to electronic engineering. Modifying guitar electronics (and pickups), and amps, repairing them, it all brings me back to analog electronics. For the record, I consider Class D amps to be analog, too - being switched doesn't mean it's digital.

I am looking forward to this exciting new community BTW, what convinced me to join was a post where a lady from New Zealand discussed how she replaced a TDA2050, something I may need to do sometimes as we have two Fender Rumble 15 amps in our household.
