Hello, I have an eminence 15 inch speaker in my bass combo. It is busted! Should I just solder this mess back together, or is there a better way to fix this?

Hey all, So I've got some old speakers with the old style leads that I'd like to use with a modern HD TV from a few years ago. What's the best way to go about this? Is there some kind of converter I could use? Thanks all, <3 Jacob

Hey, I'm looking for that Electro Harmonix POG 2 Probably best to email me at jacobtm@gmail.com

Hey all, So I got my hands on a used TC-90 which looks like the rosewood fretboard hasn't been cleaned in years and years. Thick grime. I've used some lemon oil and a clean rag, but this grime is caked on. Any tips on how to take it up a notch and get rid of this stuff? Sandpaper?

Hey guys, I'm in the market to build a new guitar, and I was thinking of a semi-hollow tele made of mahogany, with a maple-ebony board. Thing is, I can't decide what kinda pickups I want in it ultimately. HBs, P90's, SCs, they're all on the list. So I'm thinking of getting swimming pool route...

Hey, So I have a SD pickup booster that's always worked great. I haven't used it in a bit and today, it appears to be broken. I get a normal signal going through it fine, but the channel that should be boosted is instead completely dead. I changed to a brand new battery and the same thing...

Hey, So I was wondering if anyone ever mixed bridge and neck coils of the same bucker and used it in the neck? Would a Seth bridge/neck hybrid be too much in the neck? I had a 17K bucker in my neck and it was useless full, but split sounded really nice. I know the seth will be nowhere near...

Hey, So I've got an old QP that officially is screwed, the winding is just f'd, so I have the useless skeleton of a pickup. Unless I get it rewound. Has anyone here done this? Is it really this easy? <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie"...

So I was sold an old Duncan HB years ago that was supposedly an A2P, but is not. It has a ceramic bar magnet and normal pole-pieces. It reads at 15.7k when I test it at the output jack and 16.9k when I test it totally unsoldered The PATB is 15.7K, but this pickup is obviously not a PATB. The...

Hey, So I have an old Quarter Pounder lying in my closet. I used to use it, but when I installed it recently, I got the weakest signal possible, and it reads 0.0k DC resistance. Anyone wanna help me through this open heart surgery?

I'd LOVE to trade my Seth Lover nickel-covered bridge for any of the following humbuckers: PGn, A2Pn, Sethn or the Phat Catn (I know, I know, not a humbucker). Anyone out there wanna make this happen? I'd also consider buying these pickups if the trade isn't appealing.

Hey, So I have a Seth Lover bridge pickup which I didn't like in my SG. The upper-mid-range honk was just too much and it wasn't balanced enough to be usable throughout the whole range of styles i play in. I tried it in the neck, and it was too thick. It was great for just chugging out chunky...

Who among ye has a Jazz(n) in your SG? I've always been worried that it'd be too bright in an SG. I like balance and diversity in my pickups, and I've been thinking about either an A2P or Pearly Gates as a better option, but just want to get a few opinions on the Jazz beyond its clarity.

Hey, Just wondering if cutting a lead in half would have any noticable effects on how much high end is bled off. Cheers, Jacob

Hey, So I've got a strat with an Alnico 2 Pro, RWRP 5-2 and Phat Cat in the bridge. The A2P and the 5-2 are hum-cancelling when together, but the Phat Cat isn't hum-cancelling and is out of phase with both of them. It sounds alot weaker when I wire the A2P with the Phat cat, but both are...
