    Stompbox Electronics repair tales..

    Based upon what generally were stellar recommendations, I've had a not-so stellar experience with this vendor. You would think that an experienced shop would question the customer on what the toggle switches of as pedal are supposed to do, or at a minimum, use the internet to research (YouTube...

    Tube Gain pot on a SVT3-PRO

    I am wondering if a tube swap would change the "Tube Gain" control response on my SVT3-PRO. I've rolled the tubes when I bought it (decent quality, not necessary hot/aggressive). Does anyone know which tube sockets have the greatest influence on the Tube Gain control?

    Felton bass mute vs NordyMute

    Has anyone run across each of these? Other than the variety of finishes (NordyMute) and string spacing selected (NordyMute) vs custom string spacing and two firmness options (Felton), any experienced comparisons would be appreciated.

    Help with Bartolini preamp and dual push-pull active/passive

    I have a double-buck (Indonesian) Warwick that I modded with this: Since I broke the Blend pot, I am planning to replace the Blend with a separate Volume for each pickup. I decided to use a second push/pull volume pot and use it for active/passive. My question: will the following wiring...

    Fender Deluxe bass (MIM) neck heel and MIM bodies

    Does anyone have experience with the 2021 Fender Deluxe necks fitting in common MIM/American Standard bodies? I can't find the heel dimensions of the Deluxe Jazz necks, but I am assuming they are in the ballpark of most Fender bodies, especially when there are only 20 frets (i.e. no overhang).

    MM four conductor series/parallel/front coil/rear coil wiring

    I believe I've seen (i.e. Nordstrand diagram) the series/parallel wiring with one DPDT switch selecting the dual coils in series or parallel or one coil. Does anyone know a practical way to include the choice of coil (front or rear) with an alternate switch/pot, etc. Yeah, I get it that when...

    Control plate for top routed P-Bass body

    I'm building a bass with a Warmoth top-routed p-bass body. I've seen folks use the AllParts control plate [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] but I can't find any available. Does anyone know who would make custom control plates? Or perhaps know of one (in chrome) for sale?

    Bass string rattle... unattended in stand

    OK, I'm serious. The last couple of weeks (NYC 70-90 degrees locally) I'm in my basement with five basses. Three in a triple stand and one each in separate single stands (all Musician's Friends stands I believe). So... once in a great while (and twice a few days ago) I hear a string rattle...
