Gibson firebird V 2015, or SG t standard 2016? i know the sg would be more versatile and easier to swap pickups etc, but i've wanted a firebird my whole life. I do generally prefer bigger guitars which is why im gravitating towards the firebird, but im thinking the sg would get used more and for...

Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my preamps. I have a Samson c-valve and a presonus tube pre. The main one I'm looking at is the focusrite isa one, mainly because the price is right, the reviews are glowing and it comes with an AD converter. Plus I've wanted one for years. Now my question...

Hey guys! I'm in need of a neck replacement for a 90's squier tele. This neck is chipped, warped, crappy truss rod and the frets are sharp etc etc Standard fender lic necks don't fit so I measured the heel and pocket and its 57mm. The only 57mm necks I could find are no brand cheap 21...

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of doing up an old beat up, covered in stickers, Frankenstein squier telecaster. at the moment it has a Duncan distortion (with reg sized A5 mag) in the bridge with no neck pickup. the neck is routed for a standard tele sized neck single coil. I want this to be a...

This might seem like a stupid post, but lately I've been thinking... I've always preferred switches and pots to be on the more stiff/resistant side but on my Gibson LP 60's tribute I can pretty much blow my switch to change pickups and lightly flick my knobs to turn down. I really don't like...

Makes pickup changes in a hollowbody an easy, solder-less 10 second job! I wouldn't put these in all my guitars but I'm still looking for the right pickups for this guitar so constantly changing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

basically my Gibson p90 (8-9k) in the neck of a telecaster over powers and is much darker than the TV Jones classic plus filtertron in the bridge. I'm thinking maybe an underwound p90 would be a better match as I really don't get along with filtertrons in the neck position. Would a mini...

I found a website with pages and pages of free VST and VSTI plugins so naturally I went overboard. My question is would cubase run better/faster WITHOUT a ton of plug-ins installed even when not being used? Or would I be better off only installing the ones I'll always use?

Is there a safe and easy way to remove the Gibson p90 inserts? Some are being really stubborn. I've tried screwing In a screw which then I pulled and twisted with pliers but all that happened was the screw twisted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I dropped an A8 mag on the floor and it took a chip out of the corner. Is it still 100% usable or would it affect a pickup in any way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over the past year or so my mains transformer has gone 3 or 4 times, and every time my tech replaced it after about an hour of playing it went again. what could keep causing it to go? The only thing I can think of is last time I used it to record I noticed one speaker wasn't working on my 2x12...

Someone posted a thread not long ago about pickups being 90% of the tone so I thought I'd kinda try and put that to the test. I'm not trying to prove or disprove anything, its just meant to be a fun experiment. Two different guitars, two TV Jones classic plus pickups. both guitars have a Tv...

Pair of invader pickups for sale. most if not all the hookup wire intact. £95 all in posted anywhere in the UK. May consider splitting the pair or swap/part ex. Pm me for pics (can't figure out how to add them here from my phone lol)

Thinking about getting one of these pedals after they all impressed me in the YouTube videos, but I don't have any first had experience with any of them, which have you used and which did you like/dislike? Mainly been looking at Carl Martin plexitone Lovepedal purple plexi Tech 21 hot rod...

I really dislike these vintage Kluson tuners on my 60's tribute LP. Are there any good grover or grover type replacements available as a straight drop in? I really don't want to enlarge the holes if I don't have to.
