I don't have a standard RAT on hand to check, but I'm pretty sure the screw hole spacing on the FATRAT is wider than the standard. So unfortunately, I don't think so.

I was trying to figure out how best to attach a FATRAT to a pedalboard and not having a whole lot of luck. I couldn't get the screws all the way in to just slap velcro over them and the screws can't be removed because they hold the housing together. I came up with a solution in TinkerCad and 3-d...

1. Overdrives don't do much into solid state amps 2. Noise gates rule. Especially if you live in an area with old houses where the grounding was done in a really half-a**ed manner in the 60's by DIYers. 3. You don't need that many pedals. 4. HM-2s exist.

I got an inexpensive Bronco a few years back with the sole intention of modding. I tried going for a vintage 1950's halloween theme. New pickup, put a few coats of orange and clear coat on the pickguard, 2 strat syle knobs: 1 cream, 1 black with gold painted lettering, black felt washers for the...

I am not an effects expert whatsoever, but after screwing around with different pedals over the past few years I think I finally figured out something decent for Classic Rock/Metal/Doom. (Tone knob settings subject to change.) Bass>Freqout>NS-2(Send>TU-3>Big Muff>Hell Melter>Cry Baby>Hot...

This isn't, strictly speaking, for a bass but the question isn't bass specific so i figured there wouldn't be any harm posting this here.... I recently got a rather nice MIM strat with a Pau Ferro fretboard on it that seemed very dry to me. Looking it up, i found out that Pau Ferro isn't super...

I don't see any cracks anywhere around the neck joint. I think i got lucky on this one.

I started doing adjustments to make sure it was moving the relief as bholder suggested and it definitely wasn't loose, and i didn't notice a significant change in relief after the initial noise. I was able to get it to bow/straighten after adjustments and it had tension either way i adjusted the...

I have...significant paranoia when it comes to truss rods. I was tuning up a new Epiphone EB-0 and overtightened the E string all the way to A (I wasn't paying close enough attention, i had something on my mind) and i heard a pop/cracking noise. The logical part of my brain is telling me that...

Thought i was done, but i suppose not. A couple of updates on The Halloween Special. Found a Hipshot extender cheap on Amazon and after scrubbing some rust off the outside threading with a wire brush and some WD-40 (Will definitely be going through Hipshot themselves if i want to buy one again...

Yeah, it is a GB7. I was hoping there was a way to check without completely stripping it down. I don't trust myself to rip it apart and then be able to put it back together correctly. Since everything seems smooth on it and there sgould be factory lube in it, I think i'm just going to leave it...

To try to make a long story short, i happen to be going through some rough times at the moment and i wanted to buy myself a new toy. I notice that Hipshot bass extenders were on Amazon for about 70 bucks so i bought one as a fun little install project to take my mind off a few things. It comes...

Since people have already mentioned The Who and Mr.Big, my big one is Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I like Flea, but i think they are extremely overrated/ played.

Thank you for the compliments! :) Yeah, it was a Dremel hand tool, not sure what model. I think i used a bit that was actually intended for cutting tile and i used one of the little sanding drums to bevel the edge. There are probably better tools to do that with but thats what i had access to.

Just finished up fixing up a Bronco. Just in time for the Halloween season!
