    Pickup Cutout too large for new pickups

    I bought a cheapo no-name p-bass from Amazon in order to learn how to do stuff during quarantine. I got a quarter pounder in and was able to solder well enough to make the bass still work (first time ever soldering!). However, the stock pickups were apparently not a standard size as the hole...

    Metallor Tuning Machines

    I just recently got one of those cheap $70 no-name basses from Amazon. I’m fairly impressed with most everything as far as build quality, but the tuning machines are the worst things I’ve ever experienced. Tuning up was a real grip workout. Once the tension on the strings gets within a fifth...

    This seems excessive

    This is a typo, right? Am I unaware of some magical properties imbued on the user of this pedal?

    Idiotbox Whores Fuzz

    Anyone else have this on preorder? (@gregmon79 I'm looking in your direction) I put my order in today. Pretty stoked. I'm torn on the price jump on his pedals. I assume this means he's doing well and has the demand to ask for these prices, but it does make me more picky with choosing from his...

    NPD! Ampeg SCR-DI

    Got this in the mail today! First impressions are that this is the best my bass has ever sounded while practicing with headphones. Scrambler sounds ok, but I haven't heard it hooked up to my amp yet. I only got it to serve as a headphone amp and it seems to do that fairly well. Interested to...

    P-Bass + Flats + EHX Steel Leather = Amazing?

    So I'm loving my new (to me) P-Bass. Put some flats on it and everything is sounding great. Tonight, just for fun, I played with a pick and my EHX Steel Leather pedal. Normally, this pedal adds a lot of clank. With this set up though, it seemed to just liven things up. It was a really fun...

    NBD! 2004 Butterscotch American Standard P-Bass

    NBD! (technically it was last weekend,but I've finally put it down long enough to take some pictures). I never understood the appeal of American vs Mexican Fenders due to the price, but I traded in 11 pedals and was able to get this one for under $200. I loved the way it sounded at Guitar Center...

    Octaver decisions

    I recently purchased an EBS Octabass. I didn't pay much attention to the fact that this is the non-true bypass version, but I've since gotten the Idiotbox Blasteroid fuzz pedal which I really love, but which doesn't work correctly with anything but passive basses and true bypass pedals before it...

    Speakon Question

    So I pulled the trigger on a used GK 700rb-ii and a used GK 410SBX from GC. It's almost quite certainly a given that I will not be getting the Speakon cable that would have come with the cab had I bought it new. I do have an old Speakon cable from a Carvin RL-1000 and RL410 that I used to...

    Tobias Growler truss rod tool

    I'm trying like heck to find a truss rod tool that will work with my Tobias Growler. I've done an extensive search here as well as google. It would seem that it takes a 1/4 inch tool of which I now have two, but here's my issue. The cutaway space is so tiny that the tools I have don't fit. They...

    New Phat Hed pedal = wet blanket

    I just received a used pd-7 pedal to add to the pd-7 I already have on my pedalboard. (Yes, I like it that much!) So upon testing, this new pedal sounds nothing like my tried and true pedal. It sounds like someone placed a wet blanket over my amp when i turn it on. Even when I crank the high eq...

    Need a new toy...

    So I just received a $70 gift card to Guitar Center from a friend. I have no pressing needs at the moment, but would love to have a new toy to mess around with. I don't really want to spend much more than what's on the card, but I'm not opposed to shelling out a little more for a worthwhile...
