    Gibson Ripper Fingerboard radius?

    What is the correct fingerboard radius of a 1975 Gibson Ripper? I'm pretty sure it's not the same as the Ripper II.

    Hello, I have a Stingray that has been through rough times, but is a phenomenal player! Black ash body with maple neck. I believe it was made in '03. I took it in as a beater, cleaned it up, and enjoyed practicing on it. My hands and my ears are married to my Fender MIM V, so I'm gonna...

    FREE Gold Control Plate & Knobs for OLP

    Passing on the good mojo to other TB'ers. :) Totally free. I'll cover shipping. I have a gold control plate that only aligns with 2 holes on my EBMM StingRay, so I assume it is for an OLP bass or the like. It will come with a gold nut and washer for the input jack. Everything is gold...

    Wired my StingRay series/bridgecoil/parallel: Series has low output

    Hello, I got a EBMM StingRay in rough condition and wired it with a series/bridge coil/parallel switch since it already had an extra hole in the control plate. I used a Seymour Duncan Basslines pickup. The parallel and bridge coil positions sound fine, but when I switch to the series...

    Bridge woes (Wilkinson). Where can I find Schaller bridge shims?

    I have a Wilkinson TW4 bridge (aluminum base plate + brass saddles) and I fabricated a gorgeous shiny 1/4" solid aluminum shim. Unfortunately, the saddles lift up every time I strum the strings and they clack back down. Has anyone else experienced this with this bridge? Any remedies? They...

    Simple wiring instructions for EBMM StingRay needed!

    Hello. Disclaimer: The only experience I have with a switch is wiring a series/parallel switch on my jazz bass. While I'm waiting to get my stock StingRay pickup fixed, I'd like to install a Seymour Duncan Basslines SMB-4D pickup in my 3-band EQ StingRay. The control plate has an on/off/on...

    I reversed my Hipshot Licensed tuners. Pictures!

    Yep. Just bought an inline set from TB and set them up as 2x2. I don't get why people say that ya can't do it. See pictures of the process here! Edit: I've been tinkering with a few types of tuners and have adjusted them properly to where they don't feel "cheap". I've adjusted Schaller...

    SWR Cabs: Goliath II + Jr. II? More questions!

    I have a chance to get a G II for super cheap. Has anyone ever paired a Goliath Jr. II 2x10 with a Goliath II 4x10? The Goliath Jr. II is 4 ohms 250 watts. If the Goliath II is 8 ohms 500 watts, would it be worth it to rewire the Jr. II to 16 ohms and pair them to get an even 6x10 or leave the...

    Warmoth Pickguards: Examples on the website accurate?

    More specifically, I'm looking at the black pearl pickguards that Warmoth offers. Are the sample pics in the website accurate to the real thing? I love the look of how dark it is in the pics, but I've seen "black pearl" pickguards on instruments that have a grey hue.

    Rotosound R775LD Jazz Flatwound Strings

    What we have here is a fine propane bass guitar accessory. I bought these here strings used from a TB member and I used them for 2 minutes. It's cut for a 34" 5 string with 4x1 tuners (also fits 3x2) and I used strings E-G on a 2x2 good ol' Gibson USA headstock with no problems, I tell...

    Why would someone route an extra pickup hole for a StingRay 4H?

    I got a StingRay 4 with a professionally routed neck pickup hole without the switch. What can you possibly do with an extra pickup without 5-way switching? Add an aftermarket pickup? I'm thinking about just covering the hole up with a new pickguard. Thoughts?

    Gotoh Tuners - Chrome and Black

    I have two sets of 4 in-line Gotoh GB7 tuners. The chrome set came off of a Fender Standard Jazz V. I could sell it as a 4 or 5 tuner set. One black set left! The black set says "Made in Japan" on the back casing instead of "Gotoh", but it still has the same markings as the chrome set on...

    Which of these cabs should I choose for SWR 350?

    I have a pending deal for a chrome-faced SWR 350 with one or two SWR Goliath Jr. II cabinets. From what I have researched, the SWR cabinets are 4ohms. I have an 8ohm Ampeg SVT 15EN. Amp Specs: 450 Watts @ 2 ohms 350 Watts @ 4 ohms 240 Watts @ 8 ohms What cabinet combination would...

    What are direct retrofits to Schaller Licensed Tuners?

    I have a new old headstock waiting to have Schaller Licensed tuners installed from a Fender MIM neck. I put in all the effort to fill the previous horrible, horrible, horrible tuner holes, cover it with a veneer, and paint it. Long story short, I need to replace them ASAP after I install...

    Request: Pictures of Warmoth Aged Pearloid Pickguard

    I'm trying to decide which pickguard to get from Warmoth. I have a hunch that the actual pickguard color is lighter than the stock photo. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys posted pictures of your Warmoth pickguards. :help:

    Restoration: Which tuners on this Gibson Ripper?

    I have a Gibson Ripper with a disastrous headstock. There are several mangled holes and weird dowels where the machine tuner screws go. I acquired the bass with cheap, damaged tuners on it (with the screws carelessly jammed in :mad:), so I would like some suggestions of better replacements...

    What is the proper way of drilling holes in a control plate?

    I want to drill a hole for a mini 3-way switch on a jazz bass control plate. Like the Reggie Hamilton control plate, but not costing $20. :o How should I prepare it and what do I do?

    What's the finish on this neck?

    I have a Silvertone Revolver P-bass. It was taken to a luthier for a full setup a few years ago and I haven't played anything as comfortable. The neck is less glossy and much smoother than my Fender MIM V and Squier Jazz basses. Real dull looking. What do you think?

    I just noticed something about my pickup covers.

    Earlier when I was checking out the pots and caps on my bass, I noticed that the pickup covers on my Fender MIM Standard Jazz V are different. The cover on the neck pup cover is all smooth while the top of the bridge pup cover is textured. Do they come like that stock or could they be...
