Well I searched the forum and couldn't find a topic similar to this, but since the MIM Jazz Bass has two congruent pickups instead of a larger bridge pickup (Like the American model and how j pickups are designed by SD), is it advisable to install a neck pickup in both the neck and the bridge spots? I was thinking like a Quarter pounder in the neck and a hot stack in the bridge, would this sound pretty cool?

Well, i'm currently working on fixing up my old Peavey Raptor plus, which i got from my uncle 2 years ago. I'm done with almost everything, exept the nut work.

I have a guitar made out of basswood. It has a 24quot; rosewood/maple neck and a vintage tremelo. I'm looking to get new humbuckers for it, but am unsure as to what I should get. For the bridge, I want something that can do distortion pretty well, but also do nice cleans. For the neck, I'm looking for something with rockin' distortion. If it has a nice clean, that's great, but if not, no big deal. I know basswood is supposed to be a bit bassier in sound compared to alder, so I dont' know if that means I should look into pickups that concentrate on the mid and high frequencies. Any words of advice form you guys would be greatly appretiated.

Hey folks,

Hey guys I really need some help right away, I just wired up brand spankin invader 7 string model into the bridge slot of my esp H-207. Anyways I get finished slap some strings on there and voila, it sounds like a single coil in a notched wah position. I then proceed to check every connection, and they are all perfect. Finally I look over the instructions one last time low and behold in the install directions, which I neglected to read, it said DO NOT use a SOLDERING GUN, it will de-magnetize the pickup. Evidently lying on the desk beside me is a hot SOLDERING GUN!!!!! words can't really do enough to express how angry I am right now.

Folks-
A few of you have kept up with my treads as I plan out a unconventional p-90 based warmoth project for this fall-

I dig my Zvex Fuzz Factory, but was thinking of adding another pedal to the collection. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hey guys just wanted to try this out on you guys again to see if I can get an answer.

I have a schecter A-1 that I'm refinishing/ rewiring for a school project, i sanded through the coat that some idiot sprayed over the stock coat, throught the stock coat, and now theres this clear, smooth sanding coat of stuff which is really hard to get through, what is it, can I sand through it, and where do i get good aerosol primer (been all over reranch.com looking for the answer, no such luck, for either question)

So I'm not sure what to put in my Schecter tempest special. It has duncan designed stacked P-90's which are kind of mediocre. I prefer to go with true P-90 tone. I was originally going to put in a Rio Grande Jazzbar in the neck and Bluesbar in the bridge. I started looking at the SD hot, vintage, and custom soapbar too. How do all these compare, what do you guys suggest? I'm looking for a hot P-90 tone for the bridge and vintage for the neck. Rio Grande makes amazing single coils so I figured I'd give them a shot.

I wrote this last year when someone asked me to explain how I got started in the music biz. Someone asked me to repost it a few months ago and I hadn't saved it. I thought it was lost during one of our board purges, but I was able to retrieve it from my cache. (Just goes to show, nothing really dies in cyberspace).

Howdy howdy. I play guitar in a band and me and the rest of the guys (3) decided to grab our friend for 2nd guitarist. Now I was wondering what pickups sound good matched for two guitars. I have an older LTD m255 with a jb in it and I f'ing love the thing. He has an ibanez RG350dx with stock pickups. However, after a long day of jamming on my guitar he now wants a JB.........understandable right? Now I'm wondering would a JB sound good with another JB or would it sound better matching an alcino 5 with a ceramic or something like a custom 5. I have no experience in this matter.

I'm not shure what the actual street value of these things is. The seller wants 750 for it but I don't know. Do Tokai's have the same kind of laquer as Gibson? How do they compare?

Gibson SG custom faded 2004. Cherry brown. Pretty nice condition, has a ring on the back of the neck where it sat on a guitar stand, but its unnoticable. 59 neck and JB bridge. Comes with origonal pups. 700$. Will trade for Japanese Start or Tele.

I am considering selling one of my Roxies...
This is the same one that is on the GMP website... it has Black Duncans in it now.

I have an old Hughes amp; Kettner Tubeman Pedal. It says on the back that it requires a 12v, 400ma, 50-60hz adaptor. I have an adaptor that is 12v, 1.25a, and 60z. Will this work with the tubeman? Will this ruin the tubeman? Thanks.

Any suggestions? I am trying to request some SD P-90s from my wife for Christmas and I want to be able to send here to a good online dealer to order them. Let me know who's out there.

Some of you may remember this one from an earlier post I did showing the test fitting of parts.
Well after 9 months of planning and building it's just about done. Just some fret work and thats it. It plays pretty well right out of the box, but some of the frets need leveling. Sounds good too; very vintage strat like (duh) with a little more edge. Two piece Alder body, GFS vintage premium pickups, hardtail bridge from Guitar Parts Resource. Wired like a Tele with 4 position switch (includes N B in series) and a push-pull switch on the tone control that turns on the middle pickup at any time. Color is Vintage Cream from Reranch.

A buddy of mine, Mark Meyer, uses one and I was pretty impressed listening to him the other night. He plays with a bass player, vocalist and a drum machine, and he plays rythym for a couple of verses, then when he wants to solo he presses a button and the Boomerang plays the rythym he's recorded back as a loop and he solos over it. He can also record a bridge and the Boomerang will play the verse until he presses a button for the bridge, then it'll play the bridge and when the bridge is over, it'll switch back to the verse again. Is this the same pedal Bill Frisell uses? Seems like it works best with electronic drums...the rythym has to be rock solid in order for the loop to be in time. But I thought the tone my friend was getting was very good! Lew

I thought this might be interesting. I love sitting back and thinking of all the guitars that I have owned throughout the years.This sort of reminiscing always makes me think of my very first guitar and my first decent guitar. It was sort of bittersweet for me because my first axe was an Applause by Ovation acoustic that was in horrible shape, nevertheless I banged away until I convinced my dad I was ready for a better guitar. We then bought a really nice Alvarez electric acoustic out of the local paper. I loved that guitar, but shortly after figured out I was born to rock and I needed an electric so being a die hard Jimmy Page fan (worshiper) I had to have a Les Paul. So in the summer of 1995 I saved up and bought a Les Paul Studio. It was wine red with gold hardware. I loved it and wished I still had it..... just like I wish I still had most of the 40 guitars I have had. I can't imagine some of you guys on the forum that are much older than me and some of the cool guitars you have had throughout the years seeing as I have only been at it for about 10 years.
