    How to handwind a pickup without the wire breaking?

    just a thought. a while ago I bought a Strat pickup bobbin and I rescued the wire from a dead pickup I had laying around, so I thought I would use the wire off the dead pickup to make a new one. in mind I have no equipment as such to automate the procedure, I did it by hand. I did lots of...

    decent 8inch 8ohm speakers??

    Anyone know if and where or who makes nice decent great quality 8inch 8ohm speakers? Only ask as a speaker replacement for my frontman 15G would be cool.

    bass chords, how do you do them?

    Hi all, just wondered how you guys play bass chords, as I prefer to play chords rather than single notes on bass.... At the moment I am doing an octave thing so for example, the A on the 5th fret of the E string is played with the 7th fret of the D string and muting the A string.... its...
