    Did you ever attempt to play Upright Bass -- how did it go?

    I started out on electric. Mostly self learning from books and videos for about 2 years. Then I joined my high school's orchestra and had to pretty much teach myself again to not only play, but read music as well. It wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be, and I found it a bit easier to...

    Ah...well I'll live. It took me all day and it works so I don't' think I'll mess with it. However I did learn a lot. This was quite the learning experience.

    Well I did it. It took all day but I got it with some help. When I touch the switch and flick it there is a little popping but it works as I want it to otherwise. Thank you so much for the diagram.

    So I've wired up everything but no sound... I've doubled checked everything to the diagram but I'm not sure what the problem is. What is Ground to 3 point bridge stud post? Edit: I think the problem could be what I asked you about before. The ground on the switch is the one you said to connect...

    Okay so the lug at the front is wired to the volume pot. And the 2 things at the back are grounded on top of the pot?

    Ah now It's all coming together. I'll have to widen the hole of the knob I'm going to replace for the switch. I won't start on this today, but I will tomorrow. Thank you again for the diagram and the explanations. I've been trying to Google this stuff for a few days because I felt embarrassed...

    Thanks a lot for the reply. Now since I don't know a whole lot about this (if at all) I'm gonna speak like a total noob so I hope you'll forgive me for all the questions I have and my poor explanations. I have two red wires. One coming from (I'm guessing the neck pickup) to the neck volume pot...

    I'd like to do exactly this to my Goth Third. Master volume, Master tone, and 3 way toggle replacing the tone knob. Only thing is I don't know how to do this. Some help/advice would be great

    Drop C strings for Epi Thunderbird IV

    Hello everyone! I'd like some suggestions on some good strings for tuning between Standard (EADG) and Drop C (CGCF) I'd also like strings that would be a little easier on my hands. I hear about D'addario Chromes and Rotosound strings but I've honestly never used them.
