    Squire Mustang vs. Bronco + pickup upgrade

    That looks awesome ! I understand from what you've done with the pickguard that is actually TWO pieces of pickguards right? I've been looking at the Jaguar plate but not so fond into sanding the pots space.

    Squier Bronco Bridge Replacement

    Hi all ! Just ordered from Thomann a white bronco that I plan to be a modding platform to learn how to do electronics properly and use a completely different pickup (thinking about the Lipstick one). I've seen that those ebay bridges are the same as this one (when showing the distance specs...

    Squire Mustang vs. Bronco + pickup upgrade

    This is actually quite the debate ! I was thinking about grabbing a Bronco to use it as a blank canvas and create my very own Mustang-like bass. At the end basing the choice just in the string through I believe it's not enough. I have a 5 string through and have great sustain but I remember...

    Fender Mustang PJ upgrades

    Thanks! Just came back from rehearsal and got to say that having that many options was absolutely fantastic, as well as the PV 58 + STK J2 is a perfect match (at least to myself). The option to switch between songs, depending on needs from PJ Series to P on its own to PJ Parallel opened a new...

    Fender Mustang PJ upgrades

    Reliving this post as I've read it thoroughly to actually create my custom shop Player II Mustang Bass. So long story short, I was a bit undecided to whether to go with the Squier Classic Vibe Mustang or the Player II Version just because of the looks (and somehow I still do) but at the end as I...

    ESP LTD Vintage 214

    Cheers man ! Yeah well, the bass cost me 300 and I've spent just 80 euro in upgrades for my own personal taste. Thanks!

    ESP LTD Vintage 214

    Thank you ! It does have the overhang. Given what you said then it is not worth buying another one. Thing is that this LTD is going to be a workbench project for home recordings and stuff that I'd like to try on a bass. I've already ordered fancy electronics for it and fitted a fender pickup...

    ESP LTD Vintage 214

    Hi everyone ! I have an LTD Vintage 214 with maple neck and was wondering if it is worth swapping the neck out for a Might mite one that I have on the radar. (I've seen a maple P bass neck and a rosewood Jazz bass one). If so, which one would you recommend? Is it really worth the money? Thanks!

    Epiphone Jack Casady Replacement Tuners and/or Bridge

    Does any of you have tried the Babicz 3 point bridge ? I am tuxedoing my Jack Casady Silverbust and want to have a better and easier bridge to set up. This one called my attention as I've heard a lot about these bridges and really like them. If any of you have installed this bridge? Is it easy?

    Epiphone Jack Casady and feedback

    Hey folks! Thanks for the advices ! I more or less sorted out the issue and the little feedback I am getting sometimes I am using it in my advantage. It resulted that my tuner pedal is broken so it was messing up my gain, therefore I was cranking my amp up more, as well as the Fuzz pedal. It...

    Epiphone Jack Casady and feedback

    Hi folks ! Bringing this thread back to life. I am the happy owner of a Jack Casady in Silverburst and yesterday in practice got the feedback when using my big muff in some passages of the songs. Is there any way to stop that? I could more or less control it blocking the F holes with my hands...
