    Recommended wiring setup for JB Jr \ STK-6?

    Hey all, I just got a JB Jr and an STK-6 to go in one of my Strats. To be honest, this time I didn't really cherry pick what I wanted, I needed noiseless options and this was what the store had in stock. The middle pickup is an SSL-1 Bridge model that I had laying around. so it is not RWRP...

    What should I do? ("Broken" antiquity pickup)

    Uh oh. I wanted to go wire up one of my Strats with my Surfer II set. One of the pickups I noticed has a broken wire. I know the answer is probably just "solder it back on" but I'm terrified of the prospect of ruining one of my favorite pickups. Hopefully the upload quality is good enough you...

    How to troubleshoot wiring with a multi meter?

    I've got a pickguard for my Strat that's not working and I can't figure out why.. it's been out of the guitar for a year or two, and what might've happened is a wire got knocked loose or something, I really don't know. It's a pretty complicated setup, or else I might be able to figure it out...

    Anyone got a Steinberg Spirit GT?

    I've been thinking about grabbing one for around the house. I have a toddler and practice time has to be squeezed into whatever minutes I have wherever I might be in the house .. the main guitars I usually play are flying Vs as I have super long arms and they put the bridge in the right position...

    Refurbished my cheapest guitar..

    I bought this guitar from a friend a few years ago who just didn't want it anymore and priced it for a quick sale. It needed some fixing up was one of the reasons I got it for the deal I did. it was in awful shape. Badly needed a setup and the pickups didn't work. At the time I just cleaned...

    Quarter Pound HB

    There's definitely at least ONE out there. I've been interested to find out what it sounds like, cause it could be the perfect humbucker for me.

    Is this color scheme too ghoulish?

    Y'know, just playing my Kelly and realizing it's probably the best playing guitar I've got, and threw my favorite pickup combo in there to try out. The color scheme didn't quite match so I tried the wooden knobs and matching creme switch to even it out. I still think it's kinda ghoulish but...

    Jackson is out of their minds (and so are used gear sellers)

    Just the latest Jackson rant. You thought people were upset about the fender buyout, but my god have they crapped the bed the last few years with the decisions to get rid of MIJ models and price the USA models out of reach (well.. they still have MIJ models but now they're more expensive than...

    So what's the problem w/ cheap axes, (analog) solid state tone & 10" speakers?

    Because they're not cool :firing: Kidding. I'm totally with you. The older I get , strangely, the more I have stopped caring about gear and being more and more attracted to the cheaper stuff

    Anyone smart with active pickup wiring?

    Hey all, I've been using active pickups in more and more of my guitars, to the point where I'm getting sick of trying to stuff batteries into them. A couple in particular just literally have NO room for the battery so I decided to invest in that EMG 918 pedal that powers the pickups so you...

    Too tough to die. Help restoring this old MXR pedal

    Well, it's not that old, maybe 12 years or so. But I gigged the hell out of the poor thing and you can see the results. Bastard still works though !! Where would I get knobs for it? Should I replace the damaged pots? (The lower right one , plus the lower left one is bent and spins around at...

    Little demo of my "doom metal" album.

    I wanted to wait for the whole album to be done before sharing *anything*, however it's taking way longer than I thought, and now I just wanna share a tidbit of this! So here! :D https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rYkdHBS9R1dyWh3F-it4Env_02DurO_V/view?usp=share_link It's very much a "sonic...

    "Best" Fuzz Pedal for Bass (AND guitar) ?

    Looking for a Fuzz pedal that works awesome with bass and also sounds great for guitar.. I get a great fuzz tone out of the stock "Pedal" plugin in Ableton. So far it's the best I've heard, it sounds incredible, also the Boss model on my Katana sounds great. but I want to try a dedicated...

    EMG SLV set.

    I'm just curious if anyone here has ever rocked an EMG SLV set. Wanted to know how they compare output wise to say a Quarter pound or other mega hot single coils. Emg says they're overwound but they could mean overwound like how Fender considers 8k bridge pickup instead of 7k "overwound"...

    soldering iron recommendations..

    I had a 40W one that sort of did the trick but it's been getting really weak lately. Last time I used it it was having major trouble melting solder and i burnt a couple wires in frustration.. so definitely need a new one. I'm thinking maybe 60W would have an easier time for the backs of pots...
