I have a preamp I like. I want to stuff it into a box with a small power amp -- not more than 500 watts and probably 300 is fine -- but I don't want a fan, so something small enough to have just a heatsink. I don't even know where to begin because it seems like there loads of things like this...

I understand from the description that these DiMarzio pickups use both ceramic AND alnico magnets. :bookworm: Does anyone happen to know how these pups are designed? Do they put a ceramic magnet underneath an alnico, and just generally, what the heck? I realize that they are split side by side...

Hello all -- I picked up an Ampeg svt 3 that was barely producing sound and followed @ejschultz fantastic instructions for biasing the amp in this thread; Mine was reading less than 1mv and I successfully biased it up to spec around 25mv. Amp sounds great but there is an issue with the tube...

I bought this "frankenbass" at auction cheap: it has a good, but trashed, Memphis maple neck and on the back, the neckplate says Fernandes. When I got it in the mail and opened it up, I was disappointed (not too disappointed, it was <$100) to see that it was a plywood or laminate layers body...

I feel like I need to join a Poison cover band now. $30 for a Hondo Fame 8300 bass with great Grover tuners and actually a great neck. Just ugly as sin. Does anybody know what wood the body of these is made of? Because I'm gonna re-finish it. I'm hearing alder for Hondos, but when I get the...

Pardon me if this subject has already been beaten to death: Can anyone recommend some pedals/units for getting synth bass tones that are oriented more toward straight, musical, synthesized bass sounds, rather than that honky, bleed-bloop, nasal kind of stuff? From looking at some samples, it...

I have a p-bass laying here and wondered if anyone has experimented with using a pickup sort of on top of the body of the bass without doing any routing. It seems to me that maybe one of those pickups made for acoustic guitar (or, in principle, a jazzmaster type?) might sort of fit under the...

Happy holidays all - I picked up an Ampeg ba-115 without a speaker, and I wonder if anyone knows roughly the size of those bolts used for mounting, that I could pick up at Lowes? Is this a standard gauge? Also, the bolts for mounting the 'head' in the cab. Nothing I happen to have laying around...
