    Hi. Im trying to find a tort pickguard for my EBMM SR5. WD has several colors in stock but they are all listed as “through neck”. I am having a difficult time understanding this as I am certain the BO necks are more common. So before I go through the hassle of their custom order process, does...

    Dual P bridge pickup hum

    Hi. So I picked up a G&L L5000 in the classifieds here a short time ago with a dual pickup configuration. These are "Z coils" but I assumed they were basically split coils like a traditional P. The neck pickup sounds awesome. Very powerful and quiet. The bridge pickup sounds good too but hums...

    Ampeg SVT-CL question

    Hi. I just purchased a used SVT-CL. I have not received it. I have impedance questions that were not clearly answered( for me ) in the sticky or any of the threads that I could find. I believe the person I purchased this from may have been running it through an 8 ohm cab. I have no idea for...

Following the diagram that came with it, I installed it with a new set of Fralins. Individually the pups sound pretty good, but...

    adding a pickup

    I've searched for this but i'm not even sure what to search for. I just want to add a humbucker in the bridge position to my precision. It has an active EMG split coil right now.

    Well, I think I may have found a potential paying gig. Responded to an ad in Craigsist. A guitarist/drummer combo looking for a bass player to gig in the few local bars and in Memphis. I've never been in a straight blues band but the guy sent me some clips of his old band, and he's actually...

    Reality?

    I'll need the straight dope. What are the chances of a 33 year old Satellite Installer with "some" music education who hasn't played bass in years, making a living in music? Yeah, I've searched. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I know now that I'm not nearly as good as I...

    Oh man I suck! How did this happen?(Long Post)

    I just played with other musicians tonight. First time I've done that in about 12 years. The last time I was just playing covers. But I was good at it. I could learn almost anything that was required of me(classic rock/ metal and punk mostly). All I needed was a recording of the songs and a...

    Hello

    I introduced myself improperly in another forum so I figured I would do it proper here. I'm from Jonesboro, Arkansas and I started playing bass when I was 14, after several years of music instruction in school. I played in a variety of garage bands, mostly classic/southern rock or metal/punk...
