I've been playing D'Addario phosphor bronze lights on my acoustic for more than a decade. They're rich sounding and not too bright. The old standard. But D'Addario recently came out with a nickel coated phosphor bronze wrapped on their NY steel. After listening to a few comparisons thought...

I have a Yamaha P-Bass copy that the previous owner upgraded to SD "Basslines" pickups. When digging around in the control cavity the wires would pop off the terminals with just a bit of wiggling so I figured I'd set up the soldering station and re-solder everything. This is the stock wiring...

I've been playing acoustic guitars exclusively for the past decade, and I thought I was perfect happy with that until I bought an electric bass a few months ago. Then I started to get the itch. I had it in my mind that I needed a Telecaster. So I decided to head on down to a guitar shop on the...

Re: NBD: Actually, FIRST bass day! Advice? Update: So I got the Gotoh 201B-4 bridge in the mail today and installed it. Did a bit of cleaning and oiling of the fretboard while the strings were off. Put the same strings back on and intonated the bridge. Here are my impressions: This bridge is...

Picked up a Yamaha RBX250 (P-Bass copy) a few hours ago for $90. It looks white in the pictures but it's actually a nice antique white/ivory color in person. It's an entry-level model that might have gone for $200-250 originally, and from what I've found usually goes for a little over $100...

Re: Acoustic Strings, what is your preference? D'Addario Custom Lights I've been using them for years. Tried a few other brands but nothing else really wowed me. I like the lighter top end for the bendy stuff.

Check this out. It's called the Planck. It's inspired by the Chapman Stick, which if you're not familiar is a two handed tapping instrument. This one you play with it sitting on your lap, and it's completely DIY. KsFl0b6DNxk Here's an article from Popular Mechanics about it...

It needed a setup, but to be honest with you, it was the only electric in the shop (I played) that didn't feel like ****. In fact, it was a blast to play. I never even bothered amping it because it was so resonant. It was a maple top Artist with a slight flame to it. Used. Just over $1200. Is...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/540943/ This seems like a pretty good guitar case. Now, I don't own a very expensive acoustic (just under $400) but it does have a solid top, and this is Wisconsin... At this point, I'm afraid to bring my guitar out of the...

Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster through a Fender Cyber Deluxe. The rough finish, pickups, bridge, and neck (personal preference) were all turnoffs. The neck was too wide and the radius too flat for me. Either the pickups or the amp (or both) lacked any sparkle. I'm a tech geek, but even for me...
