    NBD: 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 with questions for the experts (Pic heavy!)

    Not a Rickenbacker expert, but here is my 2 cents. Clean it up, fill the holes with some small dowels and wood glue (those Grover’s are awesome). Spray the pots with a touch of Deoxit D5 and rotate 10 or so times. Put on some strap locks and Daddarios, 45-100 XL rounds. Set it up the way...

    High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

    Question on your settings shown as I am new to using a HPF. I have the Zoom MS 60B+. Your settings show a boost in gain at that frequency. Aren’t you supposed to cut the gain at the desired frequency???

    I can't change the strings on my acoustic bass

    The side cutters seem to work best for me. The seem safer too, if you go easy. Might need to get the slots ii the bridge opened up a bit

    I can't change the strings on my acoustic bass

    Use a pair of side cutters. Gently grip underneath the head and gently lever out using the saddle as your base.

    Strings too high in the nut-slots?

    It definitely wasn’t Corian. I have owned a few different Gibson guitars so I’m familiar with it. This was definitely stock as it was lacquered in. My guess is they used the plastic one to fit the oversized nut slot on the neck. That nut was the most brittle piece of plastic I’ve ever...

    Strings too high in the nut-slots?

    I replaced the nut in my SG bass a few months ago as the stock one was a really cheap plastic one. It wasn’t Tusq and shattered into pieces when I gave it a quick tap with a wood block and hammer. What I found out is that you can’t replace it with a preshaped nut, no slots, from Stew Mac or...

    Replace my B6 zoom with which newer multi fx? Hx stomp, Boss Hx, Headrush Flex prime, Ampero…

    Messed around with the Acoustic 370 amp sim today. Tried it with several effects and their placement in front and behind the amp sim as others suggested. Did make a difference and was able to get decent bright sounding grind to it.
