Davo: Wonderful! Lovely tone! THANK YOU, Yann PS: Are those tapewounds?

One thousand thank yous ! I have read some more about the K&K, and it appears that the exact placement of the transducers can make all the difference between a good and a great result. And, because the recommended application method is with crazy glue (they say you can use thin double sided...

Apolicious makes some excellent point. Let me provide a little more information in response. True. It isn't because I failed to provide video of the whole/other test, in which i compared doing long notes with the Godin Acoustic and the Fender solid body. Same "not playing anything", same...

Davo, Very interesting... Could you post more about your mod? I bet that would be of general interest. Did you keep the Baggs system as well (2 output jacks, or, somehow a switchable system), or did you just replace one jack with the other? And, yes, a sound clip would be wonderful. And if...

Fellow Godin A4 players, I very much need your help diagnosing a problem by confirming a suspicion. I just acquired from eBay a used 2004 Godin A4, and noticed upon receipt that the treble slider seems to have no effect on sound (video: ) Can someone who plays a Godin A4 confirm that on...

I would love to benefit from the considerable expertise on this board… I just purchased a used MIJ Marcus Miller Fender Jazz Bass from a major retailer. The thing that puzzles me is the serial number: B011729. According to the Fender web site, that would place it in 1985-86. But, according to...
