    By Request: How to bypass the Peavey 410TX crossover

    yeah, so I cut it in half and it looks great. It took about an hour with a 12” sawsall and finished with a 24” handsaw. I was able to keep my handsaw and sawsall straight enough to cut it right down the center of the internal bracing. The wood used to box it back in was free from a shipping box...

    By Request: How to bypass the Peavey 410TX crossover

    Has this worked out for you long term? I have one of these cabs and it’s way too heavy, considering cutting it into 2 x 210s, but one half wouldn’t have the crossover, or both if it’s not needed!

    New Rickenbacker 4030!

    I randomly contacted Rickenbacker at the beginning of October and asked how many would I have to order and how much would it cost.. They told me to wait/contact willcutt because they had just ordered another batch. I’m waiting to hear from willcutt as I requested to be on their waiting list so...

    Offbeat basses...another "Good thing I'm not buying " thread.

    Who is cutting their bodies/making their necks since their videos are unboxing not manufacturing? (Edit to add, not trying to be disparaging but I own a couple short/medium scale Warmoth and recognize that headstock)

    Master Effects - Manta Ray Stingray Pre-amp. Anyone have one?

    Just picked one of these up… if I were building an HH ebmm style bass, would I still have need for volume and tone controls on the bass, or should I just send the pickups out raw? I’d assume if I had volume and tone controls on the bass and they were wide open it would be the same as pickups...

    jazz bass for modern metal?

    If you’re just looking for a different more aggressive sound, try wiring in series before swapping anything. wiring it up is free, and a series/parallel switch is like $6

    Transporting Ampeg SVT-CL

    Necro thread but it has the best title, and relatively affordable plastic rolling tool bins didn’t exist when it was first made.. anyone use one of those? I use a Rigid waterproof box that fits my PF50t perfectly. I’ve found a Husky box to fix my Traynor YBA100, neither roll though. I’ve been...

    Squier VM SS Jaguar Neck Heel Width

    I wanted to update this again since I made a couple upgrades. I swapped the electronics for mojotone pots, added a series/parallel switch, routed it for fender pure vintage ‘74 pickups, and added a vintage bridge so I could get tighter string spacing. I’d like to disassemble it and do some touch...

    The "Yes, That's My Dinky Amp Onstage And Proud Of It" Club--Nothing bigger than 100w and 115 or 210

    He’s a pic from our last show, also the first time I played this set-up. Bass, tuner, 50 watt Ampeg PF50t, and one GK RBH115. Everything fit in a Rigid tool box/amp case, so my load in/out was a breeze! I had a hard time hearing myself, but I’m going to blame it on where I was standing.. the...

    NAD: Ampeg PF-50T

    Hello all! I recently purchased an Ampeg PF-50T and figured I’d share my thoughts and seek some opinions. I generally play in a three piece garage rock band and like to have a nice layer of fuzz in my tone. I play a jazz bass with Rotosound RS88 strings tuned to d standard with a pick. I have...

    Eastwood Black Widow Bass - Opinions?

    I love that they're doing a production 32" scale, I didn't know about this bass until this thread so I reached out to them on neck thickness: As per Vince at Eastwood: The projected spec is 24mm at the first, and 25mm at the 12th. Please note that slight variations can occur given differences in...
