    Emg 35s on epiphone thunderbird e1

    I just wanted to share this with the group as it might be helpful for someone else. I bought an epi thunderbird with the thought of substantial upgrades, one being pickups. I had bought emg TB pickups, but unfortunately those are only for Gibson. It would require substantial routing to make...

    DI only vs DI+cab sim

    Hey gang! I might start playing with this band that use IEMs instead of cabs. Guitars are on HX stomps to DI to a Beringer x32 mixer. I'm more old school and have never played this setup. During first practice I used the DI of my mesa subway D800 into the mixer. If I join these guys i think...

    Mesa D800 into rumble 25 cab?

    Guys, Stupid question of the day. I know. I have a mesa d800, an ampeg 410 cab and a rumble 25 combo (1x8 speaker, couldn't find the impedance but I would guess 16ohms?). The 410 is big enough where I rather keep it in the practice room. So for home practice I have a couple options. Note that...

    Ampeg BA210v2+svt ext vs RB210+pf ext

    So basically loud punk/metal band. Amateurish but will use.for home, rehearsal and live. 1 guitarrist with a jcm800 half stack. I'll be honest, I'm not super picky with sound. I feel with the EQ tones and pedals i can get close to something i like. If I get a BA210v2 used for $350 and an...

    Fender left handed basses

    I'm tired of wanting a bass just to find out it's not offered in left handed models. It's just BS. Let's say I want a Duff McKagan model. What is stopping fender from offering one? They make left handed p bodies. They make left handed jazz necks. Left handed Hipshot tuners are available. All...

    How big should I go? 100w vs 500w

    Hey guys, I currently play a fender rumble 25w which gets plenty loud to play at home. I recently got in a band and they have a rehearsal room with real drums and all. I know my 25w amp won't keep up. Thinking of upgrading to an Ampeg Rocket bass to use in rehearsal and hopefully when we play...

    V/V setup

    Hi, I recently purchased a Frank bello squier bass (pj) and need to replace pots since one is broken. It currently has two 500k volume pots. When I search online the fender version has 250k pots. Was wondering what I should put. I'm thinking 250k pots since I will mostly play punk not metal...
