    Citristrip vs. Essex Vintage Neck Tint

    I got some spray stuff. It's coming off. Not super easy, several passes, but it's coming off. The logo went with it. Oh well I guess I'll have to put my own on

    Citristrip vs. Essex Vintage Neck Tint

    Round 2. Similar results. This time inside the house. Tried applying heat. It makes the citrustrip turn to glue. Not helping. I tried roughing it up a little with a scouting pad. Not helping. Advice?

    Citristrip vs. Essex Vintage Neck Tint

    Going on 3 hours. Hasn't budged. Did they somehow make the stuff stronger? Or did the CS get weaker?

    Lace Alumitone pickups.

    it doesn't look that way. i've got the 6 string jazz. there is plenty of room in the rout for one of these. the stock pickup is only 4 inches wide in the first place. the bass bar 4 will fit. the PG looks like it will have to be routed. I intended on changing mine anyway

    nordy mm 5.4 inquiry

    hello given that this pickup is 4 separate coils, could one use a switch or pot to select between all 4 coils engaged like a normal MM, and then to a staggered P style config? it seems clear that one could select the front coils or the back coils, but could you mix and match? i wish to get...

    can i assign a sustain pedal to any other parameter?

    i am racking my brain trying to get a drum sample pad into my live rig. i thought about building a trigger and getting an alesis midi i/o. theres already a keyboard on stage running into logic, i figured i'd use the midi in/thru whatever to get the messages into logic. but maybe i can forgo...

    Your Best "Looking" Bass & Your Best "Sounding" Bass

    i'll bite. my buddy has an l2k, an olp mm, a dean p bass, and a peavey J. all pretty different. the most visually striking is the neon green dean. and surely you'd say the l2k sounds the best. but when it comes to recording, its normally a toss up between the l2k and the mm copy. 300 dollar bass...

    New to effects

    theres generally a bass cut filter at the input of guitar pedals. trims away unnecessary signal, makes it easier for the pedal to process. some have different values, some don't have it at all. its hit or miss. but keeping things with a clean blend is always a safe bet

    using an a/b switch with 2 channel EQ

    would there be a level issue going straight into the EQ? that was the plan. get both basses as equal and clean as possible, then process further.

    Bass through guitar amp sims?

    my current bass sound is as follows: record clean DI into my presonus. edit as necessary. reamp through BDDI with clean settings, all knobs at noon, no drive. reamp clean DI again through BDDI with slightly driven sound. send a copy of the BDDI clean to revalver, a slightly driven 6505. sum all...

    BFD3 vs Superior Drummer 2

    i am quite partial to SD2 so far. i used bfd at a studio and it was pretty good, more flexible, etc, but even still, it didnt sound as good. i would like superior drummer to have more options of tuning the drums as well as dampening, but it will certainly do for now.

    Microphones made from Speakers

    i made a DIY subkick out of some 5 dollar car speakers. it is effective. i would never use it on a bass cab because i like my bass to sit above the kick drum. i cut sub lows to keep it nice and clean. and this thing literally just makes things subby. on a kick drum, it is wonderful. as...

    PRS SE basses!

    i'll be a lot more excited when i see a 5 string. preferably with a maple board. also preferably bolt on neck. as cool as these look and as nice as they are sure to be, without those specs, i just can't get down on it. i know my buddy is going to want one though
