To my fellow Olds: Remember back in the newsprint day when the Sunday classifieds were the best of the week? Anyone else notice it’s the same way on TB? It is one of the pleasures of the week to see the surge of quality gear go on the block. Great marketplace experience, albeit without the...

A Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor would be a New Belgium Fat Tire. Sophisticated yet accessible, tasteful but not transparent. Go.

It has been said that the recent surge in this instruments being offered with “roasted” necks for a the result of large scale production and a corresponding shortage of aged/naturally dried timber; essentially the roasting is a way of accelerating timber from tree to instrument. I don’t know if...

Does anyone else compulsively hit refresh on the classifieds several times each day, simultaneously hoping and fearing that one of your dream instruments will appear? A few times each year I’ll GAS for one or two (or three or four) things and will look the classifieds maybe five times a day...

Any experience with the Femder MIM Mustang? Are these decent instruments?

Another piece of evidence: Watch John Mayer play an Epiphone Les Paul into a Roland combo – and sound exactly like John Mayer

Bought this gorgeous 2011 Fender Select P bass from a fellow TBer a few months ago. So far I haven’t been able to get comfortable with the thicker neck, as I’m accustomed to Jazz basses and my hands are on the smaller side of the bell curve. Any advice on how to source a good replacement Jazz...

Anyone else experience pain when really digging into the D and G strings from the bridge position on a Jazz bass? I can generate an almost slap-like sound by really aggressive finger style plucking, but damn! I’m not a huge fan of the smooth P/U covers on classic instruments such as Js and Ps...

Anyone have any experience with a Micro POG just giving up the effect? Mine is powered, indicator light works normally, signal maintains its path, but switching the pedal on does not enable the effects, regardless of the knob settings. Help!

I was scanning photos of BC Rich Warlock basses tonight for nostalgia purposes. I actually owned one in the 1980s when I played with a metal band - an NJ that I loaded with EMGs. Obviously the look aims to invoke some manner of sinister, medieval thoughts, like the ridiculous gothic Bowie...

We’ve all noticed, rolled our eyes, snickered at, or authored a post reply directing the thread originated to the handy TB search feature. Personally, I find such replies a little snarky and at times unhelpful. Sometimes the old threads are relevant and the have the sought after information...

Curious what type of headphones you TB’ers use for practice and/or studio work? Looking to pick up a set and wanted to tap into the hive mind.

Is anyone aware of a TB thread or other “key”/legend that equates string manufacturers to the color of the thread wrap they use on their strings?

I have a completely baseless, nonsensical, and unfair bias against the G&L headstock shape. Several other non-Fender or non-2+2 headstock shapes suffer from a similarly superficial encumbrance to a full embrace in my admittedly flawed estimation. I once felt the same way about the Ernie Ball...
