    What's wrong with Squier Affinity brand

    I have a MIC Affinity P-Bass that my wife bought me a couple of Xmas-es ago. It was my first bass. I've been playing 6-string guitar for 20 or so years and was interested in trying it. Out of the box the setup was OK; and with my guitar experience I was able to tweak it considerably. About...

    Device to Clean Pots

    This method only works sometimes. I'm a tech at a radio station and this is a method of last resort. The goo is needed on the wiper of the pot; not down the shaft. Plus, you may get a face full of contact cleaner. Apart and from the back really is best. Also: a product called nu-trol by mg...

    Help: Replacing 1/4" Input on a GK Crossover

    The part in your link is not a PCB mount part. Neutrik is a good choice, in terms of brand - very high quality; so maybe check if they make a PCB mount variant. I'm an electronics tech and I change out things like this all the time. Sometimes it's tricky to find a replacement part that's...

    My "ole faithful" Mesa Big Block 750 died last night...

    OK; some good advice in the previous posts but some not-so-good advice too. First off; I'm a fellow BB750 owner. But more importantly I'm an electronics tech with over 20 years of experience (and that's still my 'real' job). All you need to do is put a blob of solder at the junction of the 2...

    the misleading P/J concept (Wilbur Bascomb)...

    I'm a relatively new bass player but a longtime radio audio guy. I find it frustrating to hear a recorded bass sound that I like yet be unable to get that sound with my gear. But I always go back to the wise words of a longtime, 'old timer', guitar player friend of mine who always reminds me...

    Mesa Boogie, Part 3

    Just starting the honeymoon with my new BB 750 and PH412 cabinet. Picked it up for $1800 in great condition though it was a 5-hour drive to get it. Definitely overkill for my needs but even at low volumes the sound is rich and well diffused. (I'm upgrading from a 1x12 so just the height of...

    Marshall MB Series Speakon Pinout

    Hi all, I need to make a Speakon cable to connect a Marshall MB450H head to a MBC810 cabinet. I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure that this non-biamped arrangement would use only the 1+/1- terminals. (I don't, at present have access to either piece to actually measure with a meter.)...

    Pictures of my first Warwick! I'm loving this bass!

    Jaw-dropping gorgeous she is...how's the balance?

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club pt 3

    I think they had to dispense with the skunk stripe on any neck with the graphite rods; since they would need 3 stripes. My guess is that they must use a separate fingerboard even with maple to accommodate the 3 channels. I miss the skunk stripe too but the neck on my 2011 AM DLX feels...

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club pt 3

    The P-Bass is a Chinese Squier Affinity. Wish I could say the reflection was part of the shot planning but it was just an accident...
