    Mustang replacement Pickups: Aero vs. Nordstrand

    Hi SGD, Yeah, there are replacement pickups. Aero makes Mustang replacements, and so does Nordstrand. Hence the thread. ;) There are threads here about both, but I'm just wondering if anybody has actually played or heard both, and could therefore compare the two.

    Mustang replacement Pickups: Aero vs. Nordstrand

    OK, my thread title says it all. I'm wondering if anybody has played or heard both and can make comparisons/contrasts between them. I'm hoping to pick up a Mustang soon, and I'm already planning on putting in different pickups than stock. I'm going to want something big and fat, but with good...

    "feeler"?

    Hey guys, sorry for being obtuse here, but what is the exact meaning of "feeler" as used in these forums? I see the term a lot in the classified section, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what is meant by it. The searches I tried all just returned a bunch of classified ads for "feeler"...

    Good bye, 1984 G&L SB-2

    Man, I grew up in Raleigh and that makes me really sad to hear this. It's an ugly mark for the City of Oaks. I don't know where you live, but there are a couple pawn shops down on Hillsborough St. that could fit the bill for this, and if the thief is trying to be really sneaky, there's that...

    Warmoth short-scale build?

    Wow, thanks for that info, wyliee. I could've made a mistake there for sure. Do you guys have the capability of routing the pickup cavities at the "sweet spots" for those of us wanting to build a 30" instead of a 32"?

    Warmoth short-scale build?

    Wow! Excellent! Thanks so much for pointing me to that, JohnK. Apologies that i didn't see that earlier before I asked the question. I'm considering moving into the world of 30" scale basses, and right now I'm thinking of either a Mustang or a Warmoth build. I'm wanting a P-style sound more...

    Warmoth short-scale build?

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking of putting together a short scale bass from Warmoth, and I'm wondering if anyone here has done it, and if so, how they've liked the results. I would probably be going for the Jazz bass shape, but I'd like a P in the neck and a J in the bridge. Has anyone tried...

    Your favorite P/J?

    The G&L SB-2 is really nice.

    Gibson SG Standard & SG Standard Faded?

    Are you sure the "faded" versions are USA-made? I remember there were some "faded" SG guitars awhile back that were actually made overseas. Gibson didn't publish that fact very clearly. I have no idea about the "faded" SG bass, though. In the case of the guitars, the "faded" models were quite...
