    Seeking out a songwriting partner

    Hey all, I feel stagnant with my playing in general because I'm running into brick walls creatively. I'd like to find a good writing partner to get the juices flowing. I have a few friends gigging currently so they might have a few leads for me, but I was wondering what avenues you all might...

    FS: Yamaha AW16G 16-Track DAW

    This is a great little workstation with a TON of features. I hate to let it go but can't justify the space it takes up and really just don't have the burning desire for recording that I did when I bought it.

    Pedals, etc FS/FT

    Firstly, I'm posting this from my dorm and won't be able to ship anything until I'm home for Thanksgiving break. Secondly, I just don't use that many effects anymore, and need the money more than I do stuff collecting dust. Thirdly, I will ship only to the continental United States (unless...

    Looking for a road-worthy bass amp

    I have about $600 to spend (could stretch to ~7 bills if I need to) and really need to get a good bass amp for small-stage use (venues of any significant size I prefer to go direct anyway). I can't really give an idea of power handling but I think I need to be in the 200-400 watt range (400...

    All Praise to the Cool Rails Neck

    :dance: I love this pup. So much. I have it in the neck of my LTD EC-300 instead of a full-sized humbucker (another project kinda fell apart and I had it left over...) I love this pickup so much. Great rhythm tones and lead as well. Combined with the Alnico 2 Pro HB in the bridge, I add just a...

    You say it doesn't fit? I'll make it fit...

    So I've finally gotten all my parts together to finish my LTD project. Alnico 2 Pro HB bridge, Cool rails in the neck. The neck's cut for a single coil so I'm putting on some plastic HB covers to make it look smooth. 3-way LP switch on the upper bout, 2 500k dual concentric pots and 1 500k with...

    Attaching a cover to a pup?

    So I have some plastic covers I want to put on my pickups. How should I go about doing this? My assumption is I really don't need to worry about wax potting because they're plastic and can't cause microphonics?

    Buying Strings Online

    Okay, okay, I got spoiled when I was working at a guitar shop and got all my strings at dealer cost. I just about bit the bullet on juststrings.com for 5 sets of D'addario EJ26 acoustic strings but thought I'd ask around first. Anybody here know how to hook a brother up for < $5.26 a piece on...

    Roland GS-6, tell me about it

    I came home today and a friend dropped a Roland GS-6 with the foot controller off for me. Said he's cleaning out some gear he doesn't use anymore. Any tips?

    Tech21 TriAC Review

    Well I've had my Tech21 TriAC from jmcorey for about a week now. Played two pep-band shows (basketball games) with it and it's just rocking. I've set it up as three flavors of distortion: Channel 1 is a gritty Tweed setting Channel 2 is a dirty Marshall settig Channel 3 is a fluid, pick-melting...

    How much to paint a P-Bass?

    I'm just pricing my options right now and not necessarily acting on this. But I can get a solid alder P-bass body and a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard from Warmoth for roughly $300. Warmoth has a $200 surcharge for a burst finish. What I'm wanting to do is recreate the Fender '62 P-Bass...

    WTB: Tech21 Tri-AC

    Someone have one? I may be interested... Then again I have a feeling anybody who has one won't let it go easy.

    Recommend me a WAH! (dagnabbit!)

    Okay guys, I've been talking with John back and forth for a few weeks tryig to figure out if my Crybaby (GCB-95 model) can get me where I'm looking to go. The sound I'm after is based around the wah sounds in "Cloud 9" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" which leads me to believe I'm getting into...

    Gear Score! W00T! (PICS)

    Went out to the thrift store looking for some last-minute Halloween stuff yesterday, and brought home this Silvertone electric organ for $25. It took a little bit of doing. Apparently electric organs weren't designed to fit in Honda Civics. I borrowed a friend's truck and brought it home. Got...
