    NBD...I'm kinda pissed...what would you do?

    Hi Casual, The volume pot on my Modulus Q5 got dirty too and made crackling noise recently. I emailed Bartolini support and they told me that the pots can be cleaned by using spray contact cleaner in the back side of the pot inside the cavity. It took a couple of tries but it worked nicely.

    Ibanez Gary Willis GWB105 vs GWB205 (vs GWB20th): Opinions?

    Hi guys. I have a GWB20TH on order, and have had several conversations with Ibanez and have had a chat session with GW. The 20th had a basswood body with an Ash top.
