    Have you ever been fooled by a TalkBass pedal G.A.S. hype?

    Gear. Acquisition. Syndrome: an affliction caused by the desire to get some new piece of equipment. On this forum, I like to characterize is as, "More gear than I need but not as much as I want."

    Thunderbird Strap Lock question.

    Correct way: Fill old screw hole with a glued-in hardwood dowel, and re-drill. Field-Expedient way: Break off a few toothpicks in the hole and run the new screw in there.

    Best brush on Solid Color finish method

    The rolled-on car paint technique involves thinning Rust-O-Leum until it is the consistency of milk, then rolling on in many thin layers. Once you've rolled 4-5 layers, letting it dry completely between layers, you wet-sand out the orange peel. Then do it all again 5 or 10 times.

    Pick-up plastic mold material

    +1 for the "paint 'em" solution. Basecoat/clearcoat for protection.

    Music and Politics?

    Music and politics became eternally enmeshed when musicians discovered that fans cared what they thought and did outside of music. Politicians recognized this and use it to their advantage. This is how you get singers testifying before Congress on environmental issues. It's not because of some...

    Gakken Mini Electric Guitar

    I came across one of these kits. Any chance it can be re-tasked as a bass guitar? Would be a cool toy.

    What bass do you dream of?

    This is what I dream of: The sad part is that it's only a half-hour away from me and there is no way I can buy it.

    8x15 Can't Wait

    I'd go with a set of eight FEarful 15/6 units. Set them up with interlocking corners and snap latches on the back and side. Easy to assemble and break down for transport. You could set them up in many configurations: 2x4 horizontal [0][0][0][0] [0][0][0][0] 4x2 vertical [0][0]...

    Faux Acoustic guitar build

    My personal experience has been that power tools only exist to allow me to ruin more expensive wood at a faster rate than I can achieve with mere hand tools.

    Peavey Import Club (BXP Line and others)

    Is that what it is? Aside from the fingerprints, the worst part of the base it the neck plate. Other than that, it's immaculate. As you can see, it even has the plastic still on the back plates. Also, I just replaced the original Peavey 9v battery! I guess I'll keep it in case someone...

    Peavey Import Club (BXP Line and others)

    Here are a few pics. I'm not sure that I would have chosen to do a transparent finish on a multi-piece body, but this one is not as bad as some I've seen. Does anyone have a similar unit? Comments welcome.

    Peavey Import Club (BXP Line and others)

    I recently got a Peavey International Series Fury II made in Korea. I'm having a hard time finding out any information about it. Web searches, including the Peavey website turn up scant literature. The bass is a four-string with a single soapbar pickup and active electronics. It's also got a...
