    I have created the ultimate P bass!

    This is the G&L bass that never was. I have combined the G&L SB-1 split coil MFD pickup with the G&L L2000 preamp. The pickup was snagged on Mighty Mite, and I bought the preamp+harness from the G&L store a year or two ago. I replaced the pickup selector and series/parallel switch for a DPDT...

    Fender Price Increase Chart 2016-2026 for Six Popular Artist Models

    I'm going to be doing a video soon analyzing the price increases of these particular artist models. The data is pretty interesting. Before the big Feb 2026 increases, the pricing had been in line with inflation. An average of 32% increase in price for 2026 is pretty insane. The Mendel P went up...

    Hey everyone! Here's my latest video featuring a VERY strange, rare, and unique instrument- the RKS Symbass!

    Operation Ibanez Quaran-Bean Restoration

    Hey all! You may remember my Ibanez RB-999 Bean bass that I recently scored. It'd been sitting on my rack since I got it. I took it out and realized that though the body was in great shape, the hardware could use some TLC. I decided to tear her down and restore the hardware :). The bass (on...

    NBD & Info wanted: Something weird, very shiny, and about 30 years old

    Just got this in the mail today. This is going to be a fun one to review. It's an Edwards HEJ-100 by ESP. I know it's from the early 90's and is a signature model of a Japanese pop bassist Hitoki. Other than that, I got nothing. Does anyone have any more details on it?
