I prefer JJ's in my 5150 combo. They add some warmth to the amp. I've tried other brands but I always come back to JJ's.

I had great results swapping out the stock speakers in my Peavey 5150 combo. I listened to numerous sound clips and ended up getting some Celestion Creamback 65's. Sound wise, they were exactly what I was looking for. I also have them in a extension cab. I'm seriously considering switching those...

Those Classic 50's are great amps! Here's a video of the potential that this amp has when modded. Enjoy your new amp!

I like when the harp kicks in on this track!

The Barney Miller theme track.

Anyone using D'Addario Pro Steels on their Precision bass? I'd like to know your opinions on this combo. Thanks.

I ordered a Pearly Gates humbucker to try in my 2009 American Special Strat. I'm hoping it's not going to be too bright. If it turns out to be bright I'm going to give the A2P a try. Has anyone tried the Pearly Gates and found it too bright? What did you end up installing?

I've been wanting a Fender Precision for quite some time. I was set to buy a Player 2 in Coral Red when I seen a mint condition American Standard for sale online. It's a 2013 in Mystic Blue with a rosewood fingerboard, custom shop pickups and a OHSC. I got it for only $100 more than the brand...

New Used Cab Day! The second element of my new bass rig was delivered today. After endless days of researching for a cab to pair with my new Tone Hammer 500 amp I decided to go with the Aguilar SL112. I'm waiting on a Speakon cable to be delivered tomorrow and I can start making a little noise...

I've been thinking, for some time, about getting a new/different bass rig. Going with a separate head and cab. Right now I'm using a Tech 21 VT Bass 200 combo. It's okay for what it does but as I'm improving on my playing and technique I'm ready to move on to better and more inspiring gear...

Looking to purchase a pair for my bedroom studio. I've been looking at a set of JBL 305P MkII's and a set of Yamaha HS4's. Is one set more favorable than the other? Appreciate any insight. This will be my first monitor purchase. ​

Called Seymour Duncan customer service to see what was involved in ordering a covered pickup with zebra bobbins in case I wanted to remove the cover. Was told that humbuckers, when being built, come with either black or zebra's. Had to hope you got lucky to get what you wanted with the standard...

I tried the pickup in the bridge position of my American Special Strat. I really tried to like it but it just wasn't happening. The best description I can give for my dislike is that it had too much fizz/sizzle for me. There was something happening with the top end that I did not like. My...

This is what I'm working with now.
