I know that this has been discussed on and off over various threads, but I'm looking to get a wireless rig for my bass, and I'm wondering what everyone else is using. Looking at reviews of the Line 6 G30, the common complaint it the battery door ... true or over-exaggerated? Thinking also...

Seymour Duncan was pretty clever with this one: http://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/product-news/introducing-the-seymour-duncan-sw-set

New pedal from a new company ... It seems that one of the engineers from Darkglass Electronics struck out on his own to create Pike Amplification.  Thier products are being distributed through 3Leaf Audio. The design of this pedal seems to be a hybrid of the Darkglass B3K and Vintage...

#1:  Blue swamp ash Deluxe 5, maple neck, ebony fingerboard.  2x Duncan MM pickups and a Duncan 3 band preamp.  Takeuchi bridge and Gotoh tuners. My first build and my first attempt a finishing. #2:  Black swamp ash Deluxe 5, maple neck and fingerboard.  Nordstrand J/J pickups with a...

I'm pretty sure guitar players do this all the time, but I'm looking for bass player input. I've got a "leftover" Nordstrand J neck pickup and a Bartolini J bridge pickup that I'm thinking about using for a fretless build. Aesthetics aside, has anyone else mixed pickups from different...

http://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/product-news/triplecream/ Funny thing is, these probably would have caught on in th '80s hair metal scene.

The pioneer of surround sound and noise reduction has left us. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57602767-235/ray-dolby-sound-pioneer-and-dolby-laboratories-founder-dies/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 As someone who works in the industry, where visuals mean everything, and sound is...

I know there aren't too many drummers who frequent this forum, but I'll bet there are more than a couple of Iron Maiden fans. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21771857

Perfect for the rehearsal room ....

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Warmoth-Warlock-Body-and-Neck-Builder-Kit-Buy-Now-350-00-Wow-/180798633743?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2a1870370f I know that Warmoth stopped making the Warlock-style bodies some time ago, so this looks fishy. The neck seems authentic, but the body doesn't.  False...

My Deluxe 5 Jazz double-bucker is finally done, and played her first gig this past week!  Kinda my take on if Fender and Warwick collaborated on my version of the ultimate bass! Specs: Swamp ash body, finished by me (not super pro, but I'm happy with it) Maple neck w/ebony fingerboard 2x Duncan...

Question for my fellow 5-stringers. I am finally putting the finishing touches on my Warmoth Deluxe 5, and made an interesting discovery .... The body is set up for string-thru.  I have been using Ernie Ball bass strings since I began playing bass almost 15 years ago (talk about brand...

There are tons of these, but this one is actually clever and funny ... and I think most people here will appreciate the humour. ***strong language alert!!!***  There are a few "f"-bombs dropped in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZa4iZ93QwQ

To all my fellow Great White Northerners, let us all celebrate 144 years of being Canada!! And to our "older" friend down south, I know your birthday is coming up soon .... send you down a couple of cases of cold Canadian beer?  I'm sure there'll be a few left over from today's party  :glasses9:

Just wondering if this is a Canadian/American thing, or if there is any consensus  .... When you create the hole in your guitar for a pickup or a bridge, is it a "root", or a "rowt"? Or do you use the pronounciations interchangably?  (I have to "root" a "rowt" for my pickup). By the same...

I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I figured I would canvas opinions here ... The project: Deluxe 5 jazz bass, swamp ash body, dyed a dark blue Deluxe 5 neck, maple with ebony fingerboard, headstock also dyed dark blue The question: What color hardware would you use?  Chrome...

I would be remiss if I did not plug this. www.boogierail.com Haven't tried one yet, but they look interesting.  If I ever decide to buy/build a guitar with a vintage-style trem, I think I would buy and try one.

However! My Deluxe 5 string build is continuing ... I got the first of 2 Duncan Music Man pickups today (working within a budget is a b!tch) ... and, of course, the pickup did not come with any mounting screws. So I was perusing the Warmoth site, and was wondering .... does anybody know if the...

So, my Deluxe 5 jazz $$ build is coming along nicely, if not a little slowly due to time constraints, but I am in a postion now where I will be purchasing the pickups. I'm already pretty much decided that I am going to get the Seymour Duncan Music Man pickups, but was wondering what all the...
