WTB:Fat Strat Pickquard
Any one got one laying around you want to get rid of? Got some pickups to sell or trade as well. Fender Texas Special set (Strat) $85 and a SD Tele Hot Rails bridge $40. Pickups in great condition with lots of lead!

Need Help On My Decision!!!!!!
Hey eveyrone hear out my situation and gimme your best opinions cuz you guys rock!I been plannin on adding a used PRS ( pre 95) 24 fret to my arsenal around christmas time, spending about 1000-1300 after saving for a few months. Recently i came across this unfinished copy of a McCarty. This guy was building the guitar for himself but could not finish due to monetary reasons. I have had experience building guitars ( i have built three, each better than the previous), and all i would have to do to this guitar is have a nice Tune o Matic bridge installed, then put my own hardware and paint it. It would be a great hobby for me, and i would save a couple hundred bucks and be able to customize the **** out of this potential bad boy.Thing is, i have owned PRS's before and wanted to get one again... and i know i prolly cannot make a guitar that is quite like a PRS... The other thing is that the wood combo on the builder guitar is just like a McCarty: Mahagony on Maple... ( i already have one like that). The PRS i planned on finding was going to be Alder/Maple....

THD Hot Plate / Marshall Power Brake
Anyone tried out any of these? I've read that the THD is the better one, but would like to hear from users instead of magazine reviews.

Distortion PUP Discussion...not a Which pup do I need thread
One thing I've noticed is that alot of folks don't like high output buckers. I've held that opinion before too. However after playing some high gain pups recently I've come to the conclusion that they really are not as bad as people make them out to be..*if they are approached correctly*

High School graduation today....
Well, I graduate today. It's kind of exciting and kind of depressing at the same time. I know I'm never going to see some of these people again and it saddens me. But i was just curious, who else is graduating this year? What are your plans for college? Is music going to be your goal or not? I'm going to UNH and will reapply for their music program for the next year, I unfortunately did not get in the first time. However, I know I'm going to face many disapointments if I chose music as a career and I just gotaa roll with the punches. So, how about anyone else? Anyone going to UNH by some slim chance?

Active / passive switch
I have installed the preamp only from the Basslines STC-2p circuit into a Fender Marcus Miller 4 string bass. I have left the original active/passive switch in, but when I switch from passive to active, I get a loud POP sound when the preamp is engaged. What can I do to eliminate this sound? Any suggestions?

Strat/Tele Pickup Engineering Question
Instead of a metal base plate...what if a strat bridge pickup had a metal cover/ dome under the base plate... or a box. If the base plate had a sides/walls that extended up towards the bottom of the pickguard. Of course, in this case the base plate would have to be able to travel freely within the walls of the pickup base box.
