Greetings Luthiers!!! It has been a while since I have really ventured here...I have been using McDonald's wi-fi...I need to get a land line. Badly. From skimming through the three wood challenge...I am missing out on so much! Anyway, moving on to the original point...I will be starting my...

Hey guys... Normally, I hang out in the Luthier's Corner, but, i am stumped with a problem. I own a vintage EHX Bass Micro Synthesiser. When it was given to me, there was a stomp switch ( I believe for bypass) and an extra jack, on the side of the chassis. The bypass never worked, well, for...

Hey guys! I had an idea and ran it past Mr. Turner: There are so many skilled people on this forum, who have found creative ways of making their lives easier during repetition..., jigs! Wouldn't it be great if we had a collection of some of these jigs, self made tools, and just time-saving...

Now..., I realize that there are quite a few of you who would think that this venture is foolish. One would say, "Simply start building and off you go". While I respect that sentiment, that is simply not the case for me. I have wanted to pursue this school ever since 1993, between then and now...

What's up LC? Long time lurker, seldom poster, always inspired by the work you guys are doing! Lovin' the 5 fretless comp! I have not really posted because I am not a builder. I have done repair here and there for twenty years, mostly for friends, but no shop. Needless to say, I am not a...

Hello my fellow low-enders.... I have been on this forum for a little while and I need some guidance. I will be moving to the East Valley area of Phoenix AZ ( my best friend told me East Valley...AJ, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek...etc.,). I am relocating from East TN to start a new life. I...

Hey guys, My family and I are contemplating a move to Phoenix, AZ (for reasons other than the school) and my wife is supporting (and encouraging) my dream of attending this school and becoming a professional. I have worked on instruments for around 15 years, so I have a small amount of...

Hey Guys! I wish to purchase a pickup from E-Bay, and I have two choices; The Pure Bass and the Bass Max. This will be my first foray into amplifying my upright and I want the best bang for my buck. My playing is mostly pizzcato ( No bowing, I think that's right) very little jazz, mostly...

Has anyone ever heard of one of these? I heard stories of one twice in my lifetime, but, can't find anything online or in any of the numerous books that I have read. If anyone has one or has pics, please post! Thumpin_P:help:

Hey everybody, I thought about using ebony, but my wife insists on using something more colorful. I will be using a natural finish, gold hardware and a rosewood cap on the headstock. I thought about cocobola, rosewood, padauk, walnut, my wife insists on curly redwood. My question is: what are...

I am refinishing a BC Rich mockingbird circa 1982. I do not want to use a hard finish, but I have been told that clearcoat, laquer, etc... is all that will work on maple. Please help as I am ready to finish this ten year project.:help::help::help::help:

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I know I am posting this in the wrong forum, but, I needed people to see and advise. I have a fifty dollar gift card for Ebay, and I am trying to find the best drum machine for the money. At first, I was going to buy a mic pre, but, I felt a drum machine would...

I am in search of a clear, punchy sound from a 1997 (pre-changes) MIM Jazz. I have done my homework and have found only a couple of options. I will be using an Audere pre. I will be using a string-thru- bridge and drilling holes for ferrules. Brass nut, Hipshots, full shielding. Now we come to...

:help: I own an Earth Sound Research Super Bass b-2000 all tube 100w bass head. I am not sure what the impedance is, and I know it needs work, but, I love the sound, the ease of maintenance (point-to-point wiring) and the fact that I have owned it for the most amount of time (sentimental). I am...

I have tried to find the answer all over the internet, and then, it hit me! Where else to find the answer for my bass than TalkBass. com!! I am trying to wire a blend pot to facilitate one input and two outputs. I understand how to wire a blend pot in the traditional way, but, I think that...

Howdy, This has been a long time resource of information, and now that I am doing more of my own repairs/ modifications, I feel that the Talkbass community will continue to exceed my standards. I only hope I can answer as many questions as I ask. Sincerely, Thumpin_p
