    Help me search for S1 switch

    S1 switches had a bit of a failure rate to them at times... and for the bass stuff, it was simply a series/parallel switch, which could be done with a simple push pull (the s1 is a 3 pole double throw i believe) the S1 is expensive, hard to get as a replacement part, and then you have to use...

    250$ SX body deal!!!!

    I've rebuilt and modded a LOT of guitars over the years, truth be told. they are NEVER worth the work. PERIOD To quote an identical situation... a buddy buys a $99 squire guitar. it sucks, has terrible frets, noisy wiring. body wise, Buzzard has added $30 worth of electrical components. but...

    Why play a 6 string?

    well, I dunno what specifically you play song wise, but this whole habit of guitar players tuning down to C, or lower?.... IF ANY of your band mates do anything under regular tuning, tell them to stop... Guitars don't sound good that low. I am a guitarist who is learning bass after playing...

    Set Killers?

    I think we alla gree that it depends on the crowd (A buddy's country band used to pull out scorpions and black sabbath, and KILL with em) but there ARE songs that kill the set no matter what.... As mentioned before, "Money" kills things... mainly cause people like it, but not many can dance...

    I have a problem with cover/tribute bands.

    Hahaha. almost at a K! I don't hate cover bands/tribute bands... a brothas gotta get paid sometimes! I just hate when you have tribute/cover bands who go the extra douchebag step and try to look the part. and not just in a "same guitar/amp" sorta way, but when you see a GNR cover band...

    D'ddario - Half Rounds - :(

    They are a ground wound type string, i think their process leaves small burrs on the outside of the string, which gives it that rough feel... i wasl gonna put some on my SR4, but decided to go with Rotosound flatwounds instead.... I played half rounds on guitar in the past, they were ok, a...

    wondering about strings for a 36" scale.

    Hey guys, I am planning out a custom build bass at the moment, and am thinking that a 36" scale would be nice... I really like the positioning on my ex factor E string (with the extension its 36" scale) but was wondering if anyone other than D'addario makes strings that will work on a 36"...

    It is scary how cheap those old roadstar II's are going for... they are quite nice... had a few come through the shop in the last few years and kick myself for not getting one of em to come home with me!!!! Good score!

    How About Bigger Basses for Bigger Boys.....and girls

    Being a big guy (tall and broad shouldered) and also a BIG guy (Fatty) I prefer a bigger bass. 34" scale tends to feel a little small to me (even though i am a guitarist first/bassist second) I am hankering for a dingwall or one of them Knuckle guitarworks quake basses... mmmmm

    What do ramps do?

    Having a tech build ramps for your bass is a labour of true friendship... I have ONE customer i built some ramps for, and NOBODY ELSE WILL EVER GET ONE... ME INCLUDED! :D
