    "Unbuffers" and pickup simulators?

    Recently learned about these simple, passive devices. I have two issues I think one or more of these might solve, but I have questions... Mainly, will one of these circuits affect the lower frequencies negatively ? Most discussions ive found online are guitar centric. My "vintage" fuzz pedals...

    Boosting a slave amp?

    Setting up a wall of DOOM The miniMega 1000 is driving the 2 4x10 headliners @ 4ohms. TRS out to the CS800x stereo in. Left channel drives the 2 4x10 TV and TVX @4ohms. Right chanel drives the headliner 12 @ 8ohms. Not getting the full wattage from the slaved CVX, it is good down to 2ohms...

    What pot layout with Dingstrands?

    My bandmate and Luthier is getting close with this 4 to 5 multiscale conversion! The Dimarzio 5 string Colossals i picked up aren't quite long enough at the "fanned" angle required. So I ordered up a pair of 5 string Dingstrand Nordwalls instead! Backside pictured. But the longer routs and...

    Earth Sound Research 2x12 specs?

    Picked up this groovy little sealed cab from FB marketplace last night. Dude was using it with a 100w guitar amp. But I understand the ESR amps and cabs could be used for bass. And I am wondering what the specs might be, so I can match it with an appropriate bass amp. The jack ohms out at...

    Mini-Mega Milkcrate Mod

    Two issues i was having with my Peavey MiniMega amp; One, a soft bag did not seem adequate travel protection to me. And two, the head smelled of brimstone whenever the Kosmos function was engaged. (Anyone else have this issue?) First, I threw a pair of CPU fans over the vents to pull air...

    Red mulitiscale strings?

    Couldn't find a definitive answer with search. Has anybody used DR red devils on a 37" multiscale 5 string? And if so which model bass ? The red devils are advertised as 38" from ball to taper. Tuner layout would make a difference. And the headstock on the bass im string shopping for hasn't...

    Adding a blend knob

    Thinking to myself, why don't ALL effects pedals have a Blend knob? But especially for bass. Then I thinks, why can't I just add a Blend to any/every pedal I feel is lacking? Would something like this do the trick? Given space is available in the enclosure(s)...

    Can Fishman Fluence doom?

    Looking at a pair of 5 string soapbars for an upcoming build. I like the idea of a clean sound that can be colored by pedals or post. But the advertised low noise and reduced feedback has me worried I won't be able to get that organic doom sustain out of 'em. As I understand it, "voice 3"...

    Please delete

    Have a buzzy speaker in my 1810 cab. No visible damage and it ohms out good. Foam "filter" MIA Puled the magnet assembly And there appears to be a thin foam ring between the voice coil and the magnet assembly inner diameter. It was hard and crumbly. Here's a pic of what's left of it. My...

    Ricky lipstick recommendations?

    So i bought this short scale bass. Its an ESP LTD AX-54 And this horseshoe pickup And I'm going to route out the soapbar route to fit the horseshoe. But I also want to add a "jazz" neck pickup. I'm thinking a chrome lipstick tube style pickup might just be the ticket. My question is...

    In search of a clean tone, I'm updating my amp from the last "Century" to a MiniMega The 1000 watt at 4 ohm Amp is on its way, along with a 4 10 cab (800w at 8 ohm) I'd like to stack a 2 10 with the 4 10 for when the situation calls. The 2 10 is rated 400 watts at 8 ohms⁸ Is it possible and...

    Ultrabass Amp effect vs pedal?

    Just picked up a used Behringer BXL3000 300-Watt 2-Channel Bass Workstation Once i got it home and vacuumed out all the mouse turds, the thing rocks! It has a built in "Ultrabass" feature, and I'm wondering how it compares to an octave drop pedal? Or is it it's own thing? From the manual " The...

    "Ratio" tuner question

    I don't need to be sold on the merits of the Graph Tech "Ratio" tuners. Have them on two of my 4 strings. My question is, are the given ratios ideal for heavier gauge strings? And lower tunings, of course. I was thinking of using a 5 string set of tuners and simply not installing the high...

    25 dollar Experimental Routing

    Picked up a cheapo 34" scale Jackson for super cheap! I believe it's a JS1M Concert. 25 bux off of FB marketplace! It obviously got wet during hurricane Hellina flooding. But the neck is straight and I kinda da like the mildew staining on the fretboard. The output jack was rusty but a little...

    Afterburner plus Geezers?

    My EMG GZR PJ pickups are dead quiet, even with a push/pull series/parallel setup. (The P pups are always in series) Considering adding an Afterburner boost knob. Anyone else try this combo? Should I add two?! It's VVT with the tone pot as the series/parallel switch now. I could swap both...

    EMG BTS Dip Switch Setting recommendations?

    Bought a used est of EMG active pickups and they came with the BTS pots ! The BTS is a two band EQ and booster as I understand it. Downloaded the instructions and the install went smooth, but I don't have a clue which "high frequency response curves" I might want. Just don't quite understand...

    LED pickup mod

    Had the hairbrained idea to put sound reactive LEDs behind my Lace Alumatone P/J pickups. Tried a Google search and have been coming up empty handed. Some generic cosplay kits that seem like they'd cause EMF, and I don't need anything too complex, just red glow that glows with the Groove. Then I...
