Hey everyone! I wanted to talk about one of my new favorite bands, Blessed Black. They are a band out of Cincinnati, OH and they fit into the Doom/Stoner metal genre. I'm absolutely head over heels for their 2020 album, Beyond the Crimson Throne. Brad Bellamy's bass lines are solid and thick...

RCO Pedals/Ryan makes high quality pedals at a reasonable price. He makes a wide variety of pedals including fuzzes, distortions, ODs, and modulation pedals and he is constantly branching out and trying new things. I own three of his pedals and he is working on two or three more for me. The...

Hi there! I'm trying to embed several very short sound clips of 4 sets of pickups side by side into a table where the "Sound Clip Here" (see example below) would be an icon of a media player that plays the quick MP3 clip from links I provide (I'm hosting all these short clips on one of my...

Is there a club for folks who own awesome products from Arkham Sound? Should there be? I can't say enough good things about Micah's creations, especially my custom Arkham Shadow preamp (pardon the mess of cables): It's a two channel bass preamp with a Hiwatt DR103 preamp on one side and...

Hi All, Quick question about G&L pickup placement for those of you who own L2Ks...what is the measurement from the nut to the centerline of the polepieces for both pickups (i.e. nut to top centerline of neck polepieces, bottom centerline of neck polepieces, top centerline of bridge polepieces...

I'm trying to edit one of my earlier posts: 26818 (U.S. Peavey Club) to add the names of two of the basses I'm modding and some more details about the mods. It looks like I can edit posts I made today in other threads but when I try to edit older posts, the only command I get in the dropdown is...

Hi All, I'm thinking about trying a 3 pickup setup, with volume pots for each pickup, a master tone, all with a selector switch. Here's what I would like to do (please tell me if this is even possible): Pickups: Rickenbacker Humbucker in the neck position Thunderbird Pickup in the middle...

Like the title says...I'm willing to compensate. Thanks!

Hi there luthiers! Would anyone here be willing to build a custom short scale (30" scale) neck for my SX jazz bass? I know most people would say that it is not worth the money to buy a neck that is worth more than an entire bass, but I beg to differ in that I can not find what I want...

I bought an old JMF Spectra 120-7 tube amp for guitar like the one seen in the picture below about a year ago and it is a GREAT sounding amp, especially when I play through it with basses with P-style pickups. The amp has a switch on it to switch between 60 watts and 120 watts which is very...

Sorry for this but my math on these types of things is bad... If I were to build a 30" scale bass with Ric 4001 neck and bridge pickups, how far from the nut would I put the neck pickup and bridge pickups respectively? For some reason, the whole 33" (or 32.5" or whatever the 4001 scale...

Here's the situation...I have a nice Fender J neck, a very mod-able SX PBass body, a Model P pickup...and two model J pickups. I'm thinking of having a 3 pickup bass with the P pickup in its traditional location. So this leads me to some J pickup placement questions... Question 1. On a 34"...

Here's my dilemma... I have a bead on a great used V4 (not a V4B) for cheap and I'm REALLY jonesing to get that tubey tone with my PBass or Thunderbird (I'm looking for a Martin Turner/Dave Hope/John Glascock-ish (that doesn't sound right....) type of rock tone...I play predominantly with a...

Hi All, Now that the Leroi myspace page seems to be down, does anyone know where to find the songs? I have a full copy of "Run" but I can't find full copies of any of the other tracks. :help: Thanks!

Hi Guys, I've been thinking about building a cheap, functional practice bass that I can use on the commuter train to and from work and during lunch. I've got a bunch of interesting "parts" lying around and a couple of ideas, but I know you guys have a ton of experience and know-how that maybe...

Hi Everyone, I have a dumb question about wiring up a 9V DC adapter jack on a Russian Big Muff. Note, I spent many hours yesterday searching for this basic info and this is my lst resort. Here is the Invalid Link Removed that I bought from Small Bear: Invalid Link Removed There is a...

Here's my situation. I have an SX P bass that I love the sound of, but I just got another SX (a short-scale PJ) that I absolutely adore...I also want a fretless SX short-scale now (I happen to have an SX spare fretless short-scale neck, so whatever short-scale I trade for does not necessarily...

Can one plug the ports on a ported cabinet and have it sound somewhat like a sealed cab or am I a complete idiot? Thanks?

Hi All, I've tried a bunch of different tuning keys out (Hipshot, Schaller, Spertzel...) and I love my Hipshot Ultralites, but I'm curious what tuners you guys and gals like best from a cost perspective (i.e. which tuners give you the most bang for the buck?). I have done a search but I...

Hi Guys and Gals, I have an exceedingly dumb question for you...is it possible (and/or a good idea) to take a cheap short-scale (say an SX 30" short-scale jazz) and: tear the nut out take the tuners off and fill the tuner holes work a new nut for 6 strings rather than 4 change the...

Strange question, but I was listening to WAAF on Friday while I was shoveling my driveway, and Mudshovel by Staind (a band I've always despised because I thought the lead singer whined to much, but this song caught me.) came on and I found myself boppin' about to it while I worked. It leads...

Hi All, I have a mint Carvin BRX112 NEO combo (the combo with the Carvin B800 head built in). It is a sweet sounding combo and can get very LOUD (500W at 4 ohms, 800W at 2 ohms!!!). It is, however, not my sound (I'm going to go back to GK). I'm thinking of $550 shipped. Make an offer and/or...
