    Newb Warmoth build

    I'm considering a warmoth or partscaster build for a 3pickup j/p/? bass. Jazz in the bridge, p in the middle and a possibly a cleaner cunife or alnico split coil in neck position? Why? Who cares. I think it'd be cool. Ideally, I think it'd be cool to make it five string but it's my...

    ANOTHER SVT7 thread: Replace ICE2A265 chip or entire board?

    Yeah. I believe you were right. What I dont understand is how it worked fine for a year with regular use and now it is doing it again. Unless there is something about the design that kills the chip over time. I know nothing about electronics.

    Oddly, it was just a single rchip. It worked for a year with regular 4 hour gigs, then it just started doing it again.

    I haven't yet. I don't have a dealer near to try them out and form my own opinion. There's lots of misinformation and strong opinions about the class-d stuff but we'll save that for the gazillion "class-d sucks, bruh" threads. Truth be told, I know I wouldn't hear a difference but my gear...

    ANOTHER SVT7 thread: Replace ICE2A265 chip or entire board?

    Update: Sad news. After about a year the amp started dropping power again. It seems there's more going on than just a chip issue. It worked flawlessly for 3 and hour hour stints up until last week. Going to sell it as defective on reverb in February if anyone is interested. Bummer. Time to find...

    Guitarist problems and suggestions to help the situation?

    I taught guitar off and on now for 30 years. It sounds like your guitarist doesnt understand two things: how chord progressions are structured and the harmonized scale ( nashville numbering I, ii, iii.. etc) Knowing these two concepts changes a sheet of apparently random chords changes into...

    Battery Drain with Active P'ups Forgetting to unplug

    SOLVED: Op here. So, I installed the mini toggle to kill the circuit to the jack. It was simple and makes things more convenient. Thank you to those who offered solutions.

    Battery Drain with Active P'ups Forgetting to unplug

    I always forget to unplug my bass with active electronics which kills the 9v battery. If I were to remember to use it, would a circuit breaker cable, like the link below, prevent the battery from dying? https://www.amazon.com/DAddario-Guitar-Cable-Circuit-Straight/dp/B0002GMGV8 I can hear...

    ANOTHER SVT7 thread: Replace ICE2A265 chip or entire board?

    ***UPDATE*** So, simply paying a real eletronics guy $40 to replace a $3 chip seema to have resolved the issue. If you find an SVT7 with an old revision you may want to start there. Last night, we played at a smaller bar with a miserably hot stage and it had zero isssues. I hope this helps...

    I feel like a jerk

    1. Science has clearly done a terrible job explaining what factors go into human motivation and behavior. 2 To assert is that science is somehow compromised and exists simply as a scapegoat is a simple take that unfortunately has been weaponized and popularized by those in the "realm of...

    STOLEN MM Stingray 5 Indiana

    So, right off the bat, let me disclose that I recovered the bass several months after it was stolen not 8 years later. I completely forgot about this post until I came looking for answers about my SVT7. Unfortunately, that scrubs most of the provenance from the story but old Ronnie would have...

    The chip hasn't fried yet. All is functional other than the ocassionally cutting out.
