Hey y’all, I’m blessed to have gotten my grandfather’s bass for Christmas. It’s a cream Yamaha BB5000, just put new strings on it. I don’t know too much about the bass besides it being hard to find and one of first (if not the first) 5-string electric basses ever mass-produced. If anyone has...

https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/invader-bridge Let's give this pickup some love. It's not muddy like people say at all in the Tom Delonge-esque guitar I built a few years back- in fact it's bright as hell (in a good way), cuts through the mix, super tight, and overall sounds great and...

Re: My Frankenstrat progress Hey there, I thought it would be worth it to necromance this thread. Above is my completed Strat (finished it a while ago and that pic is old as well.) RIP my dog (passed away last Februrary.) :)

Was looking into what Tom Delonge used in the early days of Blink (big fan), and I found that he indeed used the Ampeg in the Cheshire Cat era. Anyhow, can anyone offer me some opinions on the amp if you've played it? Reliability, sound, maintenence, etc.. Thanks alot dudes. :)

Looking to get a nice high gain sound for cheap (something Mesa-Boogie-esque, Rectifier, etc. you get the idea :smokin:) Max price of maybe like 70 or 80 dollars. Some sounds that come to mind are the tone in "Mother" by Danzig, "Dammit" by Blink, and "Say it 'Aint So" by Weezer. Somethin...

Whelp I'm just a youngin' with no money and I thought that I'd put aside a slightly longer term investment for a Mesa Boogie. You know, I've been looking for alternatives, but I think I might just have to go for the real thing. If my mind changes, I'll let you guys know, but any tips on what...

Hey there, I'm looking for a nice dist/fuzz pedal, something thick and chunky. Like that awesome early Weezer dark rhythm tone. Also, maybe something that doesn't absolutely demolish the bank? Any suggestions are apprectiated, thanks. Peace yo! :headbang:

You may have seen me posting tons of threads over the past few months about looking for a new amp to replace my Spider IV 30w. Now, I'm not looking for this to turn into a "there's better amps out there thread", I'm just wondering if any of you guys have tried 'em and how it compares to the all...

Re: Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Speakers

That dark huge tone is so great. Think Jamie, The World has turned and left me here (The rhythm part of course) and Tired of Sex.

I'm very confused as to why the 50 watt head is considerably less than the 20 watt head (new). Lesser in quality? :o

Hey guys, I'm looking for a cheap tube head, under $300 and preferably under $200 (definitely don't care if it's used) that I can plug into a 1x12 or 2x12 I'll buy in the future. Needs to be loud enough to play with a band and at gigs. Thanks! :headbang: Oh, and I play all genres of music...

The strat build I'm working on is super noisy. I plugged it in to test the pickup (I have everything except the bridge and tuners). Whenever I turn the volume down it gets even louder and starts to buzz. My one volume pot is 500k, pickup is an Invader. Do I need shielding inside the cavity...

Re: White to Black Burst? Like this? Or reversed?

Hey there! I'm just wondering- how vastly different in quality are the Legator Ninjas and even other series? (As in differences between the 100 PE, 200 SE, 250 SE, and 300 SE) :headbang:
