    Help me to NOT wreck a perfect 73 Fender P Bass

    Nothing helpful to say, just drooling over that bad boy. I have a kidney going spare if your father-in-law is open to trades...? xx

    StingRay gets a Do-Over!

    IMHO I like solid, bright colours more than bursts but you've made an amazing job of that, well done! xx

    1967 Hofner 185/E2

    I want this. I really, really want her. If she's still available, how soon are you looking for a sale? I'm waiting for the sale of one of my guitars to clear so can't pay up just yet... FWIW I'm UK based. xx

    DIY Tube Screamer Question

    Hi, I'm planning to embark on building a DIY tubescreamer. I've got this schematic for the g**tar version, wondering if anyone would know what mods (if any) will be needed to make this more like the bass one...? Apologies if this has been answered before! xx...

    Bass build... with a twist....

    Sub'd. Even if it's completely un-playable and sounds AWFUL, it'll make an excellent display piece, excellent work! Personally, I'd have tried using thinner sheet alimunium and make a hollowbody design to keep the weight down, but that'd be much more complicated and difficult! xx

    i truly live only for music

    I felt exactly the same way you do 5 years ago, so I'll give you some 'advice' based on how I now look back on my life at that time. The reason you feel like you won't do anything with your life is because you are currently not doing anything with your life and your bipolar disorder (I don't...

    Where do you like your Jack?

    Always on the front. I don't like feeling around the side for the hole, I like to see where I'm aiming and slip it in, first time, every time. Also, resting my baby on her stand, or the floor, or wherever, the jack socket on the side means the lead gets in the way and may get...
