    NBD jackpot! SX 6-string

    Sadly, I have no real progress to report. :( The next step is getting a custom pickguard done to fit the Nordstrand P pickup. I gave the whole thing to a local luthier who was supposed to make the pickguard and then use it as a template to route the cavity for the pickup. He had it for a couple...

    U.S. Peavey Club

    I was looking for something else in my storage unit and found these. I wasn't sure where they were, but I knew I'd find them again eventually! :D I had mentioned them a long time ago and somebody on here messaged that they want them if I could ever find them. I bought a '66 Fender P a while...

    High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

    I have found this info very self-affirming. I have been using an FDeck HPF for a while, almost always with my Promethean 1x10 amp that I use for rehearsals. I haven't been gigging much lately, but rehearsals are weekly. Anyway, just by ear I have ended up running the FDeck cutoff at about the...

    Combos vs Stacks?

    I have a combo that I love. It's an Ibanez Promethean, which means that the amp section is actually totally separate and attaches with 2 thumbscrews. When assembled, it's just like any other combo. But, I can quickly and easily pop off the amp (Class D, small and light, 500W into 4 ohms), put it...

    "I Back a Hot Singerbabe Club" Part Deux

    That was going to be my second guess. :D

    "I Back a Hot Singerbabe Club" Part Deux

    I had to laugh. I saw the first line ("new band photo") and then the picture. Before I saw the last line I thought, "hmmm, guy in the middle has to be the bass player. So, from L to R, I'm guessing rhythm guitar or keys, drummer, bass, singer, lead guitar." Then I saw the last line. LOL How...

    High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

    Yeah, I looked at all those things. I think if I buy a replacement for my FDeck, I would get the L+HPF, just to have the extra options for minimal extra room on my board. The HPF by itself doesn't really give me any extra functionality. Only different packaging - which I don't foresee spending...

    Ampeg V-4B gigworthy?

    I'll be the Voice from Over the Fence.... ;) I had a vintage V4. I had it tubed and tuned up by Skip Simmons, out in CA, so I know it was running well. I lived near him then, so no shipping involved. I also had him do the capacitor mods to make the Channel 1 circuit fully the same as a vintage...

    High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

    Since the low B on a 5-string is 32 Hz, I would definitely prefer the lowest point to be 30 - 32. But, in practice, for live sound, the FDeck's 35 seems to be just fine. I finally ordered a pedal board, so I can mount my small collection that I use, and stop having to re-cable and uncable...

    High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

    Okay, I read the 1st page and the last 3 pages of this thread. No time/patience to read the whole thing. :( Can somebody save me the time and catch me up a bit? I have been using an FDeck HPF v3 for a few years now. But, it has always bugged me that it's really setup for use with an upright and...

    Bassists who ride motorcycles gang

    I take some time off from TB and what the heck?! This thread totally dies?! :-) Anyway, I got a new bike a few days before Christmas. It's been a while, so I would also include a picture of my GSXR, but I can't find one right now. So, just the new bike. A '16 KTM 1290 Super Adventure.

    Peavey PVH 212 ?

    I've been talking about getting a PVH212 for a couple of years. I finally got off the pot, so to speak. MusiciansFriend has them marked down to $444 right now, and they also have a "12% off orders over $99" promotion going right now. And Free Shipping. I just ordered the PVH212 for $391...

    Peavey PVH 212 ?

    @BbbyBld posted a while back that it's an Eminence Delta, but he didn't say exactly which model.

    [Ampeg B15R] Following Jess Oliver's advice...

    Of course it is not conclusive, but myself and 2 other B-15R owners (or former owners) in this thread all understand the switch position shown to mean 6L6 and 8 ohm. When I set those switches on mine, the only practical way to move the switch is to stick something in the "hole". I use the tip...
