    Seismic Audio cabs any good for a practice rig?

    Happy Thanksgiving fellow TBers. I'm thinking about buying a new Seismic Audio SA210 cab for my bands practice space. It will be used with a Ampeg B1 head that I think puts out about 100 watts at 8 ohms. Like to hear from anybody that has used this cab.

    any true bypass diagrams?

    I would like to build a true bypass pedal to use with a Zoom B3. I'm not happy with the way the B3 affects my sound when switched off. Is there a preferred tried and true way to wire the pedal? Would I have to use a buffer along with the bypass pedal? I searched bypass diagrams and found so...

    Are low tension strings good choice for arthritic hands?

    I have arthritis in some of the knuckles on my left hand (fretting hand). Are low tension strings easier to fret than nickel plated round wounds? If there is a difference would it be enough to warrant buying a set of low tensions? I currently use D'Addario XL170 light gauge strings .045 -100 on...

    Is wipe on poly finish O.K. for finishing a maple fretboard?

    I just bought a Mighty Mite MM2909 maple neck with maple fretboard. The specs say it has an oil based sealer applied (can't tell if it does or not). If it does (or doesn't) can I use a wipe on poly finish on the fretboard? Is it even necessary to add a finish if it's already sealed? Thanks, Jim

    Help finding P bass with Jazz neck?

    Looking for a light weight P bass with a thin Jazz neck. Love the P bass sound but due to arthritis need a thin neck and light weight body. Does Fender make a bass like this or am I SOL?

    NBD

    Bought a Gretsch Electromatic Jet Jr. G2210. Had to find a lighter bass than my Steinberger XM3. I have arthritis in the hands and shoulders and can't play for very long without being in pain. I do have a 67 EBO I could play but I'm always worried I'll break the headstock. It would also need...

    Question for Markbass Little Mark III owners

    I'm looking for something to carry my amp in, other than the factory bag or rack case. I remember reading about someone using a cheap laptop case, but don't know what brand or model. Any useful ideas will be greatly appreciated as I cannot afford the $70.00 it will cost for the Markbass bag...

    Lubricant for Steinberger tuners ?

    I have a late 80's Steinberger XM2 and the tuners are getting a little hard to turn. I'm thinking they probably need to be lubed. What kind of lubricant should I use? Thanks, Jim

    How to utilize gain and master controls on G-K MB210?

    I'm used to older amps with only a volume and no gain control. I've used PA's with a gain and clip light, set gain until it clips and back it off. This sets the optimum preamp level. Then set volume for sound level. The MB210 does'nt have a clip light. I assume the controls are used the same...

    I bought an "85" roadstar 2 with what i believe is the original split coil pickup. Somebody has done a poor job rewiring it and I want to clean it up. Were the pickups wired series or parallel?

    Make a fretted wood neck narrower ?

    I don't have the equipment to make a neck. Is it possible to remove wood from the sides of a neck with the frets installed? I'd like to get a P or Jazz bass type neck and get the dimensions close to those on my Steinberger XM2. I'm able to build a body without any problem.

    Carvin PS15 WinIsd results

    I used WinIsd to get cabinet sizes for an old Carvin PS15 speaker. I used specs supplied by Carvin. For interior volume in a sealed box it calls for over 5 cu.ft. and over 11 cu.ft. for a vented box. I don't think Carvin used boxes this big for this speaker. Am I missing something? Thanks
