    Thanks. Don’t know why it was giving me issues. www.facebook.com/share/v/17baydYNQP/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Thanks! Yeah when I saw the progress Geoff was making with those inlays I started salivating. I just wish the fretboard could be as brilliant as the headstock, but of course the finish would be destroyed pretty quick. I hope to make a video soon where it’s just going over the bass and demoing...

    Club St. Germaine

    Hello boys…I’d like to join the club. Shrike v1 The inlay work Geoff did on the fretboard is incredible, the spalted maple top is beautiful and just look at that headstock. Key specs: 36.5” to 34” multiscale 5-string with 18 mm bridge spacing Bartolini 58CBP neck and XXP25C Quad coil bridge...

    Official Elrick Bass Club Thread...part 2!!!

    I’ve noticed this too. I took the screw out and cut about 4-5 threads worth off of the end. Gave me enough room to get the intonation right. It’s a bit risky doing it that way because you can damage the start of the thread and then you wouldn’t be able to get it started. I’m not sure what size...

    Another Cab blown *face palm*

    One thing to consider is the amp itself. If you are constantly pushing it into clipping at high volume then that’s putting DC on your speaker coils and coils hate DC. This brings up the age old debate of amp headroom vs cab headroom. Another thing to check is whether there is a DC offset coming...

    NBD - Dingwall Combustion (finally)

    Finally arrived after months and months of waiting! I ordered this Dingwall back in early March and was told that it would only take about 1-2 months to arrive since they happen to already have 2 of the exact model that I wanted on order, Combustion 5 string in Vintageburst with the 3 pup...

    Hartke LX8500 first thoughts (vs.EBS Reidmar)

    Thanks. I've typically been a Hartke guy (Kickback 15, LH1000, HyDrive 115 and 410), but I just pulled the trigger on the EBS 750. It looks like the 752 has less power than the 750 (700W@2 ohms vs 700W@4 ohms). Plus I just pulled a second trigger on a new Boom Bass Cabinet Tank 1215. That...

    Any updates on how the Hartke performed live? I’m debating between these 2 amps

    Actually we had issues at first as well. I did not receive his first reply to my email. After that though it did start working and we had a couple back and forth. Could be a similar situation, but that wouldn’t explain why he didn’t return my phone call. No matter at this point, I’m going to...

    Official Elrick Bass Club Thread...part 2!!!

    I was a repair technician for 16 years and I had my share of rude customers who would call every day or multiple times a day wanting updates or demanding results and I always hated those types of customers. But I also had the kind that understood that things take time and would check in...

    I will definitely give them a call directly. I was told to contact John Files by whoever runs their Facebook page. As far as the website goes, the page where they direct you to register your product just says “please submit your warranty information here. Thanks”. But there’s no actual form or...

    Yes that’s the email I was using, and he did respond a couple times at first so I know it’s good. He also called me once and I tried him back on that number but just got voicemail. It was not the same number you have, maybe I’ll try that. Using Facebook was how I got his email address, using the...

    Official Elrick Bass Club Thread...part 2!!!

    Has anyone here had any issues getting support from Elrick? I’ve got a dead spot on my fretboard, been that way since I got it. I tried contacting them in several different ways and after a few weeks got in touch with a rep named John Files. He asked several questions about what I tried to do...
