    Schecter Hellcat VI

    All the other strings fit in the posts. And this set of strings is supposed to work-Ernie Ball Six String Bass Slinkys .020 through .90.

    Schecter Hellcat VI

    I just got a Hellcat VI. Tried to change strings, but my Ernie Ball .74 A string is too thick to go through the post! Any ideas why?

    Can anyone tell me what model Epiphone Explorer this is?

    Actually, its not the same, the headstock logo is in a different spot. So, still trying to figure this one out.

    Can anyone tell me what model Epiphone Explorer this is?

    Thats right, somebody installed TV Jones. Think I found it though, looks like its an Exclusive Korina Explorer, found the exact same one on AMS. Actually , the one I got has also been upgraded to Hipshot tuners as well.

    Anybody have any idea what this is? Signed P bass. Headstock says made in USA

    I saw this in a pawn shop for $160. Maybe it's a fake? Cant decipher the signature-I'm guessing the fingerboard inlay is homemade. http://s33.photobucket.com/user/spankygtr/library
