    I'm generally on mobile. Can we move "watched threads" back to the top instead of "trending topics". Rather than in the drop down?

    The Walking Dead Season 7-NO Spoilers -Official thread.

    Ok, as Sunday is the big day, I think it's time to start an official Season 7 thread. The season 6 thread got a little nasty, as people were throwing out spoilers from the comic book series. So I was thinking we should set up some rules, and understandings. 1) First and foremost... IF YOU...

    Tim Commerford rig rundown (finally)

    The man himself takes the mystery out of his rig... kind of... still doesn't explain what his "secret sauce" diy distortion pedal is. But the way he talks about his Music Man HH's just makes me want to buy one... despite the fact I had one in the mid 90's and couldn't embrace the neck width...

    Stolen Warwick?

    Not sure where to post this, was there a thread somewhere about a stolen Warwick with blue stain? Possibly something custom made for a Warwick meet-up or something? Couldn't find anything in a search.

    Just saw a coyote

    So it's a little too late (past 2am) in the evening. Had a couple of cocktails and went outside for a cigar before bed. I live in a small town, yet suburban area, in southern Ontario. Right on the Michigan border. I'm sitting in my lawn chair on the deck, my little shihtzu in my lap. Now, I'm...

    Spector nut widths

    Just wondering, do any of the Specter basses have 1 1/2" nut widths, or are there any of the lines that have narrower nut widths. I don't get along with Pbass width nuts.

    Isolated power supply with Zoom B3 plus other pedals

    Hey, I was looking at isolated power supplies, I have a B3, tuner, plus at most 2 more pedals. So only need to power 4 pedals total. I've been looking at the Dunlop Brick, Fueltank Jr, and Voodoo ISO-5. But I see the B3 is listed as needing 500mA power input. Will any of these work? Or...

    NAD & NCD - Rumble 500 & TC K212

    Well, technically I've had the amp for probably 3 weeks, but nothing to plug it into till today. I have a Rumble 350 combo that is awesome, but got a nice deal on the 500 Head, so decided to jump on it and do separate amp and cab. Hummed and hawed on the Rumble cabs as they are the the best...

    TC k-210/212 vs Rumble 210 cabinets

    I picked up a nice deal on a rumble 500 head, and now I'm looking for a cab to go with it. The natural mate is the Rumble 210, and price/weight/reviews are all very positive. But I've been eying the TC 210 and 212 cabs as well. Any one done a comparison? I generally play hard rock music...

    NBD: Dillion Thunderbird

    Well, don't need it, but couldn't refuse it, I've always had a crush on Thunderbirds, so I figured this would be a good starter 'bird. Lol Actually, when I was researching, it got really good reviews. It's the "Canadian" Dillion, as I guess there's an American Dillion company ( or was?). Dillion...

    Painting a headstock black

    Hey, I think this would be the right section. I'm doing my MIM Jazz bass in total blackout, hardware, pick guard, etc. I'd like to paint the headstock a matching gloss black then add a white or silver waterslide decal to match the old, hopefully serial number and the whole nine. I have a...

    Fat Stacks and Aquilar 2 band preamp opinion

    Hey! So I've got a custom made bass with DC sized 20+ year old Bartolini pickups. I swapped out the also 20+ year old Bartolini preamp with a bassmods 3 band preamp. Although I like the preamp, I'm still not getting the tone I am envisioning. I still find the bass too mellow for my hard rock...

    Bart BC sized pickups: another "Which one?" thread

    So I've got a 20+ year old handmade by a local luthier bass. Bubinga body with a wenge neck. It had an old 2 band Bart TBT preamp and Bart DC sized pups. I always found it a little "mellow/dark" sounding. Talking to beatbassgear, (awesome customer service and quick communication!) the old...

    SD "neck" pickups. Work for both MIM Jazz pickups?

    Hey, I've hot a 2000 MIM jazz I bought that I am picking up tomorrow. Haven't tried to see if I'll like the Pups, it's got a 74 reissue pup in the bridge position and a Super 55 split coil in the neck position. Now it's my understanding that in these era MIM's, both pickups are of the smaller...

    Put my first set of flats ever on my Pbass

    They are so silky smooth and quiet! What a weird feeling after taking stainless rounds off. GHS precision flats.. Nice warm, rich sound, not really sure if I'll stick with them, as I usually play heavier stuff. But wow, do they ever feel nice, actually felt easier/faster to play. Really...

    Not sure of should go in this forum or the bass guitars forum... Just wondering if anyone has the Fender Steve Harris Signature bass, and ever looked at what pots and cap are in it? If it's the standard 250k pots with a .047 cap, or something more "custom"?

    NBD: My first Fender, MIM Precision

    New bass day, woot!! My first Fender, a 2004 MIM Precision, Midnight Wine I believe is the colour name. Barely a mark on it, neck in perfect shape, not my first choice in colour, kinda wanted black, but this came up. Already bought a black pickguard for it, and I'm going to pull the SD SPB-4...

    What rotary switch for 3 position pickup selection

    Hey, Thinking of changing a p/j bass from V/V/T to V/T/3 way rotary. It will be wired for neck/both/bridge 2 questions: Do I need a 4 pole/3 position switch, or a 2 pole/3 position switch, or something different altogether? When wiring, does it matter which order? As in V/T/SW or V/SW/T? Thanks!

    Replace active/passive switch with sliding switch?

    I'm going to replace an old preamp with a bass mods preamp that has an active/passive switch. Although I'm not (completely)opposed to drilling a hole in the front of my bass for the switch, I had a thought of replacing it with a dip switch or more like a sliding switch mounted to the control...

    SOLD US/CAN Peavey Millenium BXP 5

    Bass is in excellent shape, no real damage other than normal usage surface scratches. Only caveat being that the original owner had it autographed, by who, I have no idea. Tried to remove it, but still faintly there. Fortunately on the back. Strung up with brand new Super Sliky's, the neck is...
