I need to widen a neck pocket in a mahogany body about 2mm on each side. I was looking at the router bits on Stewmac and saw bits as small as 3/16" that I feel could work. I have a 5/16" thick template. What size router bit would work best? Thanks!

I purchased a Microtubes Infinity with the hopes of making it the center of my ampless rig. I'm having a very hard time replicating the sound I get with my B3Kv2. It's in the ball park but it just feels much more sterile and less saturated when overdriven. I am also having a hard time getting...

My current pedalboard consists of a OG Diamond Bass comp into Strobostomp tuner, then a B3K V2, followed by a phazer, chorus, and delay. I just bought a Darkglass Element to out at the end and will be going ampless live. The Element has blown me away with the available options, flexibility...

I'm totally new to IEM's. Most if not all of the venues I will be playing have a Behringer X32 that I will connect to via the IP address. What will I need to accomplish this? I have downloaded the M32-Q app to my Galaxy S24. Do I just connect my IEM's to the phone and use that? How reliable...

Getting ready to play with Black Sabbath tribute band. Haven't gigged in years. Looking for an ampless setup. I need a preamp that has a DI with amp and speaker emulation. I want to send my wet sound to FOH. I really want a Microtubes Infinity with an effects loop but it doesn't exist. I...

I had previously been using Stringjoy nickle roundwounds in a custom set consisting from G-B of .45, .60, .85, .110, .140. diameters and achieving a very balanced set with a stellar low B string on my Tobias Killer B 5 string. I just missed the zing of stainless strings. I had recently put a...

I have and love a B3K V2. I love the character of the grit but want more. What's the B3K on steroids?

I love the Tone Capsule preamp. What's the closest thing in a stompbox?

What double sided tape (sheets) is everyone using for pickguards with no screws? I was looking at 3M 4905 which is available in 8.5"x11" sheets and is 0.5mm thick. I would prefer something thinner if I can find it.

I'm looking forna chart that lists the natural harmonics for a B string. Every chart I have found only lists 4 sting EADG harmonics.

Looking for two of these small 250K audio taper pots to replave what's in my Tobias Killer B 5. Can someone point me to a source?

I have a 1990 5 string Tobias Killer B that needs a slight neck shim. I am uncertain as to the best was to proceed as the neck pocket is very long at almost 4". It probably only needs a quarter to half a degree to get the action where it needs to be. I am paranoid about shimming improperly...

This may be a dumb question. I switched from Kalium Hybrids to Stringjoy Signature Custom Nickle. I created a ballanced set with tensions and diameters that are extremely close to the Kaliums. The truss rod relief has not changed at all. How is it that the Stringjoys feel so much stiffer? I...

I took a shot at these on a whim. The tension calculator allowd be to get the balanced tension that I prefer. I'll follow up with a review once they arrive. Anyone have any feedback on them?

I don't know why I thought this would be easy. Looking for source of three play black/gold/black pickguard material. Thanks.

So at and older age than I am willing to admit I seem to be getting back into the music biz. The guys I will be working with all use Cubase to write and record. They will be sending me files so I can add bass lines. I will also be recording song ideas to share with then. I purchesd a...

This popped up in my Youtube feed today. Sounds pretty nice on bass. The deep switch doesn't sound like it does much but the tilting EQ shiuld make up for it. I may have to give this a try. Anyone using one? I would love to hear more clips with bass.

Looking for some info from someone who ones one of these as I am interested in pulling the trigger. I have have seen only the one short video from Peach Guitars. An in depth demo/review video would be great. -How does the active tone function? -Is it a tilting EQ? If so what is the center...

I am annoyed and frustrated. I purchased a TC Electronics wiretap a few months ago. The only reason was to be able to transfer riffs to my phone to easily collaborate with some fellow players. Unfortunately the app sucks and crashes every time I try to transfer a riff to my phone. I have...

I have a 5 atring bass routed for Bartolini BC pickups that are 4"x1.25". EMG doesn't list anything that size and I can't access the Nordstrand site for some reason. I'm looking for something with higher output and more top end bite without sacrificing my lows. I'm planning on pairing with a...

This is available a small local shop. I remember these going for less new but maybe there us a market for them now. Played nice and had a great unplugged sound. I didn't have time to plug it in but I will stop in tomorrow when I have more time. I'm really not a fan of the pearloid top. My...

Not sure who is playing bass in this video but I believe it is Chuck Garrick. The overdriven bass tone is amazing. It supports the song so well. It's crunchy without giving up the bottom end or losing articulation. It's mid heavy and snarling. I would really love to know what bass he is...

Just thinking about a potential project. I have always wanted a LP style bass but hate the newer oversized bodies from Gibson. Is there room to have the neck pocket on this body milled for a bass neck? With a typical neck width of 2.25" at the 22nd fret on a Les Paul guitar I believe it will...

I received my StroboStomp HD today. How did I manage to not have a strobe toner for 38 years? I've run out of things to intonate.

a Meteora Bass. It would need some snarly T-birdesqe pickups though.

I did a design in Sketchup a while back. I need to convert it to a 100% scale pdf. Anyone here able to convert an .skp file to pdf???

I'm looking for a 5 string PJ set similar to the EMG Geezer set. I love the Geezers and want the same tone, output, and balance in a 5 string configuration. Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks.

I'm looking for someone to do a fret level/polish and maybe a new bone nut . Nassau or Suffolk counties would be preferable. Does anyone here have any experience with Mike Christian at Long Island Guitar repair? I'm going to stop by there and get a quote on the fret job and some other minor...

For sale in the continental US only. All prices include USPS shipping. PayPal only. PM me for PayPal address. No power supplies are included with any of these pedals. Prices are firm and will ship within a day or two from PayPal receipt. I'm on Long Island and will consider local FTF sale...

Just saw this article on NoTreble. As a former GK 800RB user from the 80's and and someone who has really likes MB series amps I'm excited to check these new models out. They have a pretty smart feature set while avoiding the trend to incorporate everything but the kitchen sink. I would love...

My google-fu must be weak. Does anyone sell 0-10 scale decals in various circle diameters for using as reference indicators on amps that don't have them or have worn off? Seems like it's something that should be available somewhere.

Stopped by a GC at lunchtime today. They had a used Ibanez GWB1005 frettless. The board was thinly coated and lined with what looked like a white plastic of some sort. The lines stood quite proud of the finger board. It sounded terrible as a result. Instead of all mwah it was all buzzy. It...

Anyone done this? After 36 years of playing bass and almost 25 playing mostly 5 string I had a minor epiphany this morning. I tuned to drop A and almost soiled myself. With a little grit and some chorus or phaser on it was just insane. I had never even considered it before and I don't know...

So I decided to stop by the Music Zoo today at lunch. Absolutely my favorite guitar/bass shop of all time. If you are ever on Long Island you owe it to yourself to stop in. Just be warned it could be a very costly visit. Loads of Fender and Gibson Custom Shop and Limited edition goodies and...

I see that Kiesel has their neck-through blanks on sale. I have been wanting build a custom T-bird 5 string in the worst way. I like the dimension on the Kiesel neck but would prefer 22 frets. Can the fretboard be trimmed back by two frets on the Kiesel neck through blank? I hate having...

So I stumbled upon a stupid cheap ESP B-208FM 8-String. I am checking it out on Wednesday and hope to strike a deal and take it home. I want to tune it to drop D and tune the octave strings on the D and G down A and D respectively. I'm planning on Kalium Hybrids as they are my favorite...

Dug this out of storage this weekend. I bought this from the original owner back around 1986. He had it for only two months. It was custom ordered and he just wasn't digging it. I remember him showing me the reciept for over $900. It was a pretty expensive bass in it's time. In the...

A masterful hard rock ensemble piece. Some of Tony Iommi's best lead work ever, supported by a massive groove laid down by Bill Ward and Geezer, and topped off by the incomparable vocals of Ronnie James Dio. Quite possibly the best Black Sabbath recording of all time. A stellar performance by...

I played around with a Vox VX50BA yesterday and came away very intrigued. I am really interested in seeing a higher powered amp with a front end loaded with some NuTubes. How cool would a hybrid Fender Rumble be? How about a 500watt lunchbox head loaded up with some legitimate tubyness at a...

I grew up with an 800RB and really loved the sound. I played around with some tube amps and loved the overdriven tube sound. Looking for the best of both worlds and the fusion looks like a possible fit. I know it will be a little warmer than the standard MB heads but what I have heard in...
