    Duff McKagan Precision vs Duff McKagan Precision Deluxe body wood

    I bought a new Deluxe last month. All the online specs state "alder", which sounds about right. It's fairly heavy. I'm gonna guess the body w/out the neck would be 6lbs+ I also just got the regular non-Deluxe body from eBay (it's a legit Fender/Duff body has all the correct markings and from a...

    Gibson Nikki Sixx Blackbird Killswitch on/off toggle

    Does anyone know what is the original switch used in this bass? Mine is 2000 model. Many, many years ago I replaced the original on/off toggle switch with a 500K pot which made the instrument much more useful to me. Even though it's one of the best playing basses I've ever touched, I've never...

    Pickup Rings for Ibanez AFB200 (odd size)

    I've looked online (ebay, TV Jones, GFS, etc...) and I'm not finding replacement pickup rings. The stock pickups are "Classic Elite". It's a bass humbucker, I believe, looks kinda like P90, but bigger. The ring measures 4"x 1 1/2" on the outside and about 1 7/16" x 3 1/2" on the inside. Most...
