I decide to go with the GK. I've heard it said often that it has more of a rock sound!

I play rock covers and am using a GK 700 RBII head. I'm looking for a good sounding lightweight easily transportable cabinet. I've decided to go 2x12 instead of 4x10. I can get a decent deal on a new GK Neo 212 (newer lightweight version) cabinet or for maybe $75 less, I can get a used GB...

Message me. Thanks!

Wow....I have exactly the same bass....haven't seen many of them around.

I have a 2007 Ernie Ball MusicMan Sterling HH (dual humbucker) in tobacco sunburst with rosewood fret board, in excellent condition. Includes hardshell case. Interested in trading? I would include $'s. Let me know. Steve [email protected]

In between each coat of nitrocellulose color, I understand that I should wet sand the entire body with 400, 600 and then 800. Should I repeat this on the last color coat as well? Do I then shoot the body with several coats of clear nitrocellulose laquer, sanding in between each coat with...

I'm refinishing a Epi Thunderbird body. I stripped the bad boy down, sealed the grain, applied several coats of sand & sealer, primed the body with white nitrocellulose primer and then have applied several coats of ReRanch Ice Metallic Blue. I love the color, but I am now noticing that I...

OK....I may have made my first mistake in my Fenderbird build and need some advice. :hmm: I stripped my Epiphone T-Bird body down to the bare wood and sanded it smooth. I then used grain filler, sanded that smooth and then sprayed with nitrocellulose sand & sealer. So far so good...

I'm moving into the next step on my Fenderbird build and it's time to decide on a color. I've decided that I'm going to use Duplicolor spray cans, but haven't yet decided on a color. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a cobalt blue. Does anybody have a suggestion for a cobalt...

The Allparts Jazz Neck with Vintage Finish:

Here's the neck pocket with the neck inserted:

Here are some pictures of my Fenderbird conversion, in process: The body, totally stripped down to the mahogany, fully sanded and grain filled. The neck pocket, which I enlarged free-hand with a Dremel router and then filled in one area.

The Epiphone T-Bird neck is angled and the bridges are designed to accomodate the angled neck. I ran across this problem when I was fitting my Fender Jazz neck onto the Epi T-Bird body, on which I am using a Hipshot Supertone bridge. The strings were riding really high on the neck, even with...

If anyone has a pair of Gibson Thunderbird pickups they'd be interested in selling, please let me know. I'm in the process of building a Fenderbird with an Epiphone body and I would like to upgrade the pups. I would also be interested in Lollar T-Bird pups. Thanks.

I'm in the midst of building my new Fenderbird. It's been a learning experience, but things are moving along. I started with a fairly beaten up Epiphone T-Bird from which I am using the body and pickups. I started out stripping down the body with a chemical stripper, only to realize that...
