I'm actually in the midst of drawing out the schematic and layout for my tech. The control route is so small on Sereks that its presenting some challenges to fit what I want in there. Feel free to share any updates, as you'll probably install it before me! I'm sure it'll be awesome. Which...

Really looking forward to finally trying out some Dunlop super brights on my 32inch Sacramento. Always wondered about them. Cheap enough, might be worth trying? I would also recommend trying out Curt Mangan Steels, or Skjold Steels. It will really surprise me if the Dunlops will work better...

Hey guys, the keyboardist in one of my bands has been looking for some 60s style, maybe higher output pickups for his mexi 5 string Jazz that he wants to convert to a PJ, and just received a quote from Seymour Duncan CS that's a bit higher than he was looking to spend. So I'm trying to help him...

So sweet! I might have gone with this design if he had it as a choice when I ordered my Mento. Funny enough, I'll be installing an Alembic style pre into mine with Novaks in the coming weeks! Cant wait!

So in my case, with a bass setup like a ricky with BS/DS pups, a 500k blend pot might actually be ok using the Distiller? I would then wire it 500k Blend to Distiller to 25kohm Volume to output Jack?

For sure! That's why some of the coolest gear is old , oddball , and idiosyncratic . Theres an Eno interview wherein he expresses that his problem with synthesizers is that they lack the inherent imperfections of hand built analog instruments.

That is a brilliant decision! For years ive felt like as long as it is not too obtrusive ,every lower voltage circuit pedal should incorporate a little internal trimmer/circuit for Active instruments. I seen several post involving your various electronic endeavors but havent ever seemed any...

Yknow I was concerned about them when I put my order in and waited for the bass... but I dont have any issues. Then a gain I am using parallel compression... I might have to imploy that resistor though. Dont need any more output!

Hey guys, I'm planning on loading my BS/ds Serek with a Jtex distiller! But I have concerns... I'm just wondering if the +3db gain it adds, plus the potential 12db peak on top of that will just blow my pedals into constant overdrive. If you have any experience with filter pres into...

This is a helpful post. Cant say that I've really search for winder reviews but I hope this continues with more reviews. I need a new one soon. Thanx

I think they both look great the silver is nice enough I dunno if I'd worry about chrome... but maybe might as well try em? I like the modern look of those over classic domes though.. sleeker. I'd love to hear the comparison between the two orientations though. Always wanted to play a rev P...

For sure . Ditto.

Waaoow, zis iz what we call Ze CLASSIQUE! Tres belle! I ve always wanted to play a reverse P. It makes sense .. I mean.. IME the high strings are ALWAYS too thin. Compared to the lows. Unless you're rockin a mid or small scale. But maybe that's what people are used to hearing.. The pickguard...

Go'damn that thing is a monster! I love my Mento but for a more modern tone that is spot on with what I'd go with. Excellent build! What's the pre? So theres a bass and treble control? Congrats. There ain't a whole lot you cant cover with that beast. I think I'm convinced that those pickup...

Doesnt sound bad.... maybe try a lightning boy 2020 somewhere . Worked for my gtr rig for a similar issue...
