    Tuning Machines for new Warmoth neck

    I looked into it quite a bit, and I decided that I want to purchase the Schaller bass keys, possibly with either the pearl satin or ruthenium finish. But, I can't seem to figure out where to purchase them... Any advice on where I might be able to purchase them?

    Tuning Machines for new Warmoth neck

    Is Hipshot a brand or a style? From what I've been able to tell, a few different companies make "hipshot-type" machines. If this is the case, which brand might you recommend? The tuner holes are sized for 11/16" (17.5mm). From what I understand, this is supposed to be the standard gauge for...

    Tuning Machines for new Warmoth neck

    I recently ordered a new neck from Warmoth. I have decided that I would like to also take this time to upgrade my tuning machines. I was curious: what do you all believe to be the best tuning machines, and also where should I buy them?

    Looking for Bass Overdrive pedal

    I personally love the Way Huge Green Rhino. It has great low end with a few additional knobs that allow you to control the low end and mid content of your signal. Other than that, I'd take a look at the Fulltone OCD.

    Building a pedal using a schematic

    Thanks for all the information guys! I'm a bit tentative about starting on such a complicated pedal, so I'll probably take your advice and start with a kit and get experience before I try anything too difficult.

    Building a pedal using a schematic

    How expensive might it be for this to be an actual hobby? I'm willing to buy all of the tools and such to get going, as long as my first build goes okay. I'm an engineering student; I love hands on projects. Also, in your guys' experience, how willing are other musicians to purchase these...

    Building a pedal using a schematic

    So, I've just recently started getting into effects, and it's been taking a toll in my wallet. While I know that I won't be able to perfectly recreate the sound of a professionally manufactured pedal, I've decided that I'd like to try my hand at building a fuzz pedal from a schematic that I...

    Buying paint

    (I wasn't quite sure where I should post this one, so if I'm wrong in posting it here, let me know.) I've just made the decision to repaint my Jazz, and I was wondering exactly where I might try looking to find the specific color I want, as well as what type of paint to buy. The color is very...

    Replacing the bridge on a Fender Jazz Bass

    So, I bought this standard Fender Jazz Bass from a pawn shop a couple years ago, and I've slowly been refurbishing it. I recently decided to buy a new bridge because the one on there was super rusty and gross. I ordered an entire bridge assembly and mounting screws directly from Fender. As I was...
