forgot to mention it glows in the dark.

threestools does great work.

i've never used the behringer, though i saw a lot of people recommending it when i was looking for a budget preamp. my only concern was the plastic housing and my clumsy feet (i've never seen a report of people breaking them, though). i picked up this very sturdy caline for only a little more...

my two cents about riconsistency: in the last few months, i've had the chance to play three used 4003s in various stores. one had the bridge/neck so badly aligned that the g string was right on the edge of the neck, so i put it down immediately. i can almost assuredly fix that on a bolt-on...

i'm a big rumble fan. they also work well with guitars.

i'm sure someone here has tuners and a scale and can confirm this, but here's what the robots tell me: if that's true, maybe remove two tuners from your p bass and see if the neck dive goes away. if it does, you could replace all four with a set of ultralites and have a bass you like without...

when i hear about crackling sounds when playing, my first response is to ask if the player's phone is in their pocket. that makes my basses crackle.

i opened my 83-84 mij sq series p bass for the first time today, and I was kind of surprised by this enormous capacitor. I know that a previous owner replaced the pickup with an american fender, and I'm assuming they changed the capacitor as well. so ... does anyone here know if this is the...

couch might be able to help. they do custom work.

is it not the black wire that says "kwang?" looks like it's heading right to the jack cavity.

my first guess would be that a wire, pot lug, or part of the jack is coming into contact with shielding paint on the inside of the cavity.

looks like a rama. maybe a d71.
