    Need advice on purchase - Fender Mag 7 PJ

    Long time reader, seldom post because most of the info I need is searchable. I have a chance to get a Fender Magnificent 7 PJ bass locally in Canada for $1300 CAN (about $1000 US) with no case, of which i will be the third owner. It's totally stock (that's a plus for me) and apparently has...

    dirt/fuzz with built-in expression?

    had a thought yesterday that a dirt pedal with on-board expression that controls the level of dirt would be awesome. Then I decided that this simply must already exist. searched here, but found nothing. I think i would love this kind of pedal, and that it would be very cool for feeding...

    Will new flatwounds sound like my old rounds?

    Hi all. Time has come to change my strings and i've been toying with the idea of flats on my geddy. But if they will essentially sound like my dead rounds, than i will just go to my standard roto swing 66 ss. I'm toying with using TI flats. maybe the roto flats as well. any advice...

    EBS power supply alternatives?

    Hi all, the battery clip on my EBS multicomp pulled away from the circuit board recently. Pretty sure everything else works fine. Not totally sure because, after taxes an EBS power supply costs about $60 bucks in this neck of the woods, and I would have to order it and wait for however...

    Multieffects (Line 6 M9 for instance)- buy new or used

    I'm looking for opinions on whether it would be better to buy used or new, cost comparisons aside. I'm GASing for an M9 stompbox modeller from line 6. My main concern is that a used model may be jumbled up with all sorts of presets and preferences from the earlier user where a new one...

    Geddy lee bass vs. US jazz - huge difference?

    Hi All, How much of a noticeable difference is there between the Geddy lee basses and US jazz. I know some of the materials are a little different and the pickups are also different. I've played both in the store and not really noticed a difference, but the store is tough because...

    First J bass pickup install gone wrong

    Hi Everyone, I'm trying my first pickup install on a squire J and the bridge pup works great but the neck won't work. The pups work--i've heard them. It likely has something to do with my brutal soldering. here's a pic. The white wire still needs solder. I soldered it, it didn't work, I...

    KSD 704 redux, advice on the electronics

    A few questions about the KSD 704 that did not pop up on some cursory searches: would this bass benefit a set of 75 ri pups and an audere drop-in preamp or are the stock pups and pre just peachy? I saw a post here stating the KSD is Korean made, but the KSD site suggests everything is...

    Hey Grygrx, master of bass fuzz, what's your fav?

    As many know, Grygrx is the de facto bass fuzz ruler. I occasionally see you selling various fuzz and drive pedals in the forums, but my question to you sir is: Which fuzz pedals are your favorites? I, and I'm sure many others, would love to know which fuzz pedals you keep; what do you...

    Should I or should I not mod my Squire VM? Full disclosure: Not long ago I posted on my complete man love for my squire VM fretless and how I was reticent to mod it for fear of losing the tone I had. But then I grabbed some '75 ri jazz pups and i'm on the fence. Weigh in with whatever you...

    Full-on Squire love

    I am completely in love with my Squire VM fretless, and I don't care who knows it. I picked it up used on a whim for $150--an outstanding price--and I haven't fallen this hard for a bass since I was 16. I liked it when I first brought it home, but I recently learned "Walk to Slide" by G...
