    Old Gibson tuners

    Feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, but let's see if this will get me somewhere in the right direction. TL;DR --> I'm looking for (copies of) the oldschool Kluson/ Schaller Gibson tuners that were originally used on the Les Paul Signature bass, like these. Longer read: Somewhere...

    Gibson Victory Bass Appreciation Thread

    Necromancing this thread, but as I can't find any info on it, so I thought I'd best try here. Somewhere this year I bought a Standard and ever since I got it I've been on and off about getting rid of it. Switched out the pots for 500k's, but then the parallel sound was too bright and had too...

    Drop in replacement for a vintage Schaller M4 - any suggestions?

    Hi all, The Schaller M4 tuners on my '78 Les Paul Triumph are close to gone (dents in the peg that cause strings to snap while restringing, constantly having to retune, very inconsistent ratio, etc.). By now, i've tried the reissue M4's, Grover 144C mini tuners and even the Hipshot HB6C 3/8...

    Fender Bassman 2-15; help needed.

    Little update: found a pair of Kappa 15LFA's for €100 (approx. $110) i'm gonna pick up next Sunday. I absolutely don't know if it's gonna sound well or not, but for the price, I thought why not.. And if it works, I got myself a 1200w cab for €140 ($155). Not a lot of people can say that, I...

    Fender Bassman 2-15; help needed.

    Probably a Super City (Marshall Super Bass clone) or the Peavey F800B. I think the latter has to much power for the EV's (IF i'm buying those, of course). The Eminence Beta15A's look like a nice high wattage alternative, but I'm not to keen on buying new speakers, as I've never done the whole...

    Fender Bassman 2-15; help needed.

    So, this Saturday I’m picking up an empty Fender Bassman 215 for just under €40 (just under $45 converted). At first, I only wanted to buy it for the recessed Fender/ Cerwin Vega/ Peavey/ etc. handles it has, which my Peavey F800B is missing (and with its 25/ 30 kg isn’t much of a lightweight...

    DOD FX25B 808 kick mod

    So, I recently acquired a DOD FX25B for dirt cheap (€20, which converts to something just a bit above $21) and I want to mod this so that it can make the Roland 808 sound Nick Reinharts' (Tera Melos, Swollen Brain) his FX25B makes: Does anyone have an idea of which resistance/ cap/ thingy to...

    Most Memorable Effected Basslines

    Heliotropic by Failure: IMO one of the best distorted bass tones out there.

    Yamaha SA-70 gig bag?

    And which one is it exactly? They've got the Upstart, Stage One, Stage Three and the Stage Five. Lots of choice, but which is the right one?
