    My First Bass Operation

    Hey guys, I have cut my Ibanez SR400qm open and ripped her electronics out. I was tired of the shoddy blend knob, the not too desirable (in my case) "style sweeper", and the stacked boost/cut knobs for treble and bass. This is the first I time I've done anything more than slap a sticker on a...

    Bad wiring?

    So i played a bad kegger the other weekend, and when I played with all my stompboxes bypassed, it was fine, but turning any of them on would stop any signal from getting to my amp. Is this just because of the old bumpkin house I was playing in and it's archaic wiring? Was no biggie, the...

    I had a problem with the action on my ibanez being a bit too high around where the neck meets the body. I took off the neck, cut a random trivia card from quiznos to the countour of the neck pocket, and poked holes to allow the screws to pass the card. This small change, along with a bit...

    Hey guys, I have a chance to pick up an EHX black finger. I've read that there are alot of noise issues, but those don't really bother me i like a noisy garage rock tone. What I'm wondering though, is about the tube section. I understand the White Finger is a solid state compressor and...

    Hey guys, not sure if should post this here or under "setup/repair". Anyhoo. I have an Ibanez SR400QM. It has a pickup selector/blend knob for the two standard SR pickups. Half of the time I can't even allow the neck pickup to be in the mix at all. Its all bridge or nothing. This is...
