Can anybody make comparisons between the Pedal76 and the Keeley Compressor Pro? Also curious about noise floor differences.

I'm wondering if anybody who now owns the new Warm Audio Pedal76 is able to compare it to the Keeley Compressor Pro. I'm looking for a compressor with the full array of traditional compressor controls and a gain reduction meter and was curious to hear anybody's opinion who is familiar with...

Nash has confirmed that the PB55 shipped with Dunlop 45-105 regular nickel wrap Therefore, when ordering LaBella flatwounds would you think that the 760FS would be the best match since they are the same gauge? 760FS (.045, .065, .085, .105) 760FL (.043, .060, .082, .104) I suppose that a...

Just looking for some quick advice. I just finished installing/assembling new pots, jack and pickups on a SX P-Bass. I haven't string it yet, but I plugged it in the hit a tuning fork over the pickups to check for activity and signal flow. There is a constant buzz. Pretty standard type, when...

That sounds good...the mouse pad material. So the actual composition of the material...could that have any effect on the pickup performance? Wood vs. plastic vs. magnetized metal vs wax?

I recently purchased a long-scale SX P-Bass and removed the stock pickups for replacement with Lindy Fralin P-Bass pickups. When I drop the Fralins into the pickup cavity they sit too deep. The stock pickups each had a magnetic bar attached across the bottom of the pickup pole pieces, which...
