Welp. So far noresponse after multiple calls to the Audere phone number that has no VM box set up, and an email to their service box. I'm bummed. Even if it is just simple installer error, I would have hoped for support/service to walk through it with my tech. Now I feel like I flushed $140...

It's a Charvel San Dimas Pro Mod PJ. Bone stock at this point. Nothing too special, but I like it. I bought two of them, a blue and a white. This is the first one of the two I am modding, as it is the noisier of the two, and I was hoping the Audere was going to a be more low-noise than the...

Welp. I'm here because I finally bought my first Audere preamp, a Classic 3 band, back in February. It's been sitting on a shelf unopened since purchase, until I finally got a chance to take it down to my guy Brian at The LowEnd for install, along with a setup in a Charvel San Dimas Pro-Mod bass...

They're the standard current Fender sizing. I can't remember if that's the 1/2" or 9/16" size. I bought Hipshot UltraLights for all 3 and they were easy drop-ins, just needing the small anchor screw drilled for each tuner. Just take it easy with the roasted maple, as is it more brittle for...

Yes and no. I also have two of the Charvel San Dimas P basses, and they come with Dimarzio Model P and Model J pickups in them. Those basses also have a (cheap) preamp and 3 band EQ, whereas my Relentless J loaded bass is a traditional passive JJ setup. All three of these have roasted maple...

Down to $318 right now :) If I didn't have a Warmoth solid wenge J neck sitting next to me right now waiting on the next build I dream up, I would probably have snagged another Fender neck this week. 😆 Hope this can help another TBer save some coin on their next build or upgrade. 🥹

I say GOPHER IT! I love mine. I bought my blue one from Sweetwater, and the next day the white one went on sale for $500 at Adorama so I bought that, too. Both needed some additional fretwork but nothing too bad. Once that was done they took setups well and are great playing basses. I bought...

Hey friends. I love these necks, having used 3 of them in builds so far. This is the best price I've seen in over 18 months. I leave one in my cart at all times so I can follow the price fluctuations. $330-340 happens often, but the extra 10% coupon brings it to just under $305. I haven't...

Just this cheapo Amazon.com There's no room for a power supply/brick underneath, FYI. I use this tuner pedal with it to power my stuff instead Amazon.com Super clean and simple, and I've had no problems gigging with it thus far. It DOES come with a specific 2-amp 9v adapter/power supply. A...

Awesome! I played with a bit of drive turned on at the Punchline for the first time ever this past Sunday. We had a newer song that was just begging for some drive and playing with a pick. After service the guitar came over and said "Dude. That overdrive was AMAZING. How did you get that...

WHOA. REALLY cool and unique designs here. I am genuinely impressed with the thought and design that's gone into these. I will be VERY excited to try them out. As someone who has fallen head-over-heels for the JHS Punchline pedal and uses it as the core of my sound no matter what, the "PA"...

I don't own any sunburst myself, but that one is a beauty! Congrats and enjoy!

My fav part of this whole bass is the knobs. What a fantastic match to highlight the awesomeness of the whole thing! Fantastic spec, Bro. I never would have put this together if left to my own devices, but seeing this now is just breathtaking. Stunningly classy. If they dropped this as a...
