This is the second time they've teased this thing here and then here two weeks ago. As someone who primarily uses dirt for an effect and not much else, I'm giddy. EDIT: Nope, it's something else entirely. Sigh.

This is going to sound stupidly complicated, and pointless. Please bear with me. I currently use an unpowered EHX Big Muff to take advantage of the two outputs to split a signal in two directions (basically to make a dedicated tuner output). It's positioned behind a Boss LS2. The LS2 sends one...

I know, I know, "No picture? No [item]!" I wanted a better wah, but then I decide the one I had was "good enough." Then I wanted a real phaser, because I enjoyed the Small Stone patch in my MS60b. Then I decided I wanted a really cool phaser, like one of them fancy ones... with some sort of...

Let's think about this. Sings and plays, just like Geddy Lee! Makes ridiculous faces like Anthony Jackson! Jaco used all sorts of drugs, Dave just like his cough syrup to be handy and I think he might smoke the reefer. That's way better than Jaco! Never changes his strings, just like Jamerson...

So, I've got a complete re-wire infront of me. I've got all the materials I plan to use, a diagram for a guide, and a shiny new tip for my 25 year old iron... But, what do I do with the shielding on a pickup wire? That is, I've got leads off the pup, each one has a hot and a ground, and I...

I continue to do stupid things with a bass I bought to do exactly that with. I'm currently thinking about making it dual output. I'd like to do this without a thousand knobs everywhere. So, I was thinking if I use stacked pots, I can fit four controls into the space of two holes. The...

The TL;DR version: As part of a project, I'm adding a third pickup to a bass. I'd like advise on how you might wire this. I've got a 32" SX. It started life as a jazz copy. Then I removed the middle pup and stuck in a Fender Fidelitron from a Cabronita. So, now it's a P/J. It's passive, and...

(I couldn't locate the current ridiculous CL ads thread, so I made my own) "overpriced POS - $1 (ruseriousville)" [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] And so, here it is. Another japanese pos guitar sold at a yardsale for 15 bucks 30 years ago that sat in a closet for 25 of them, was played by...

So, a bunch of stuff came in the mail this week, and I very happily screwed together a pedal board from scraps, put all my new and old toys onto it and proceded to make large amounts of noise. But, the thing that's driving me crazy.. I swear my Bassballs never dropped volume like it does. I...

Is there room under a standard Fender-sized route on a Fender Jazz for three minipots, a 3 way switch, and the output jack? I see there are 5 hole plates sold, but am I going to be able to cram it all under there? The switch is not a miniswitch, it's full sized. I briefly eyeballed it, and it...

I know, this whole tonewood been done before, but it's not stopping me from my own OP on it. Plus, it's not just about wood, it's a total package question about the definition of a bass' sound. Here's where I'm at, a long time ago I bought a dual P bass. It sounds like thunder. It's massive...

This popped up on my radar, but I've got little to go on but a pair of pictures and a description from someone who doesn't play: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I'd like to make an offer, but I've got no idea what it is and if it's effectively firewood or something interesting.

Greetings, I'm entering into starting a bit of a project that I'm pretty sure is going to fundamentally easy, but I have no frame of reference. If someone could help me address a couple of questions, and keep it simple for me, that would be great. I have a budget Jazz clone. I want to add a...

I use a little Epi Valve Jr, which has no controls except volume. Other than the tone knob on my bass, I've got no tone control. This leaves me wanting. Would I be better suited in buying a Sansamp (actually, a clone, I'm poor) or an EQ pedal to give me some control over what I've got going...

I need some assistance in maybe diagnosing a problem with a solid state amp. I received a SWR Workingman 2004 as a bonus with a cab I picked up from CL today. It was advertised as "good working condition," and the seller seemed friendly and honest, told me to let him know if there was any...

Ordered a used insturment from a GC. Insturment arrived with hole in box, and major denting about where the hole would've been. Confirmed with GC that they didn't ship it to me with those major dents. Talked to UPS, opened claim. Waiting for claims investigator to contact me. I get that part...

Bought my first real effect pedal today, a Holy Fire. It popped up in the used section of my local GC and after doing as much research as I can, I bit the bullet on it, out the door for 100 even. I'm just curious why something that seems to me to be pretty damned versatile doesn't seem to get...

Not sure how to make this thread without too much information and rambling, but here goes: I recently aquired a 32" SX jazz bass. Turns out I love 32", but I'm not so in love with the jazz bass sound. The single coil hum is annoying, and I'm pretty sure I just prefer the P bass tone. Mostly the...

You can now use the pedal board feature with bass amps, and features a "bass amp designer" which lets you pair a head with a cabinet, then select microphone type and position. Basically the options set to guitar only have been opened up to the bass side, too. Free upgrade, runs under 10.9 so...

The TL;DR version: Are DR Hi-Beams just inordinately long length for their scale? The full version: Bought a used Epi EB-0, a 30" scale bass. It came with rounds which are slowly but surely chewing my fingers apart. Thought about buying a set of flats, when I ran across a 32" SX on Craigslist...

Received a bargain used Epiphone EB-0 from a remote Guitar Center today, which appears to be victimized buy a guitar player for the lowest, fret-buzziest, action ever. Since I've never seen a 3 point bridge in the flesh, I'm questioning how it's set up. It's heavily canted to the back, with the...

I've had Garageband on my Mac since it was released, but since I'd given up trying to play an instrument, it wasn't very interesting... Fast forward to yesterday, when I decided to try and find someway to get a drum machine to play with, and holy crap Garageband has changed since 2005! Anyways...
