Hello everyone! It’s been almost a year since I got my Epiphone Casino. It’s one of the more recent issues of the Casino guitars and I’m wanting to replace the stock pickups on it. The tone from them are alright, albeit a bit on the muddy side compared to other guitars I tried with P90s. My...

I’m planning on upgrading the stock pickups from my Ibanez RG8 to the 8 string version of the Sentient/Pegasus set. I have my guitar tuned to C# Standard (common tuning for 9 string guitars) and I’m wondering if this set would be good for split-coil and series/parallel wiring sounds. I’m also...

I had my Dos Voces finally put together. I opted to use a cheaper P-Bass pickup and guitar humbuckers from my MIM Fender guitar. Check out a video I did playing with my Dos Voces! https://youtu.be/q-CYFEuaYfM

I have a really cool upgrade idea for my Jazzmaster. For the area that the rhythm circuitry would usually be, it could have 2 3-way mini toggle switches. I’ll get 2 push-pull pots to enable series/parallel modes for each P-Rail pickup.

I was considering getting a cheap ceramic P-Bass pickup for my Warmoth double neck bass and guitar project, but I didn’t know if it would last for the long run. I’m wanting to know if there’s a P-Bass pickup that has crisp bright highs on the EQ spectrum.

Hello everyone! I’m planning on ordering a double neck bass and guitar body from Warmoth. I’m wanting the guitar side to have both nice hot output for overdrive and distortion tones and crisp clean tones. I’ve been thinking about getting 2 Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers for neck and bridge...

I’m considering upgrading the pickups on my Ibanez RG8 guitar. I’m eyeing for a passive pickup that has more output than in the stock pickups, especially the bridge pickup. It is tuned to F# standard. The guitar that I have has a meranti core body and jatoba fretboard. I have been eyeing on the...

Hello everyone! I have an upgrade project I’m wanting to do with my Ibanez GRG7221 guitar. While I’m swapping out the original body with a custom Iceman 7 body, I thought about getting new pickups. The tuning I’ve been using is F#BEADF#B, essentially a baritone guitar tuning with an additional...

Hello! I am planning on putting together a double neck bass and guitar. I’m wanting the bass side to have a single P-Bass pickup, the guitar side to have 2 humbuckers, a 5 way switch for the guitar side, a 3 way switch for both necks, 2 concentric 500k knobs (each neck would have their own...

I know I’m opening a super old can of worms, but do you all hear differences between a P-Bass pickup and a neck Jazz pickup (and I’m talking about all iterations: vintage, hot, stacked, staggered J’s, active, you name it).

Re: 250K or 500K Pots For Apollo Jazz Bass V Set? Well, I received a pickup on Christmas. Unfortunatlely it wasn’t an Apollo Jazz V, I got an SMB 5a for Music Man basses. I might go a different route for now and probably put together an Old Smoothie-esque bass (positioned in the middle like a...

Hey everybody! I'm planning on swapping out the stock pickup out of my Squier Affinity Jazz Bass V. I might as well upgrade the rest of the electronics, so I'm wondering if I should get 250K pots or 500K pots to go with the Seymour Duncan Apollo set (split-humbucker set intended to fit in...

Re: What are peoples favourite model of ibanez iceman? I find Steve Miller's signature to be interesting. I guess the triplebucker may not be the most varied tonally, however it could get two more wiring options over an Epi Les Paul Jr. Special.

Re: Sentient and Pegasus PUs on Warmoth Jazzmaster I decided to sell my Stratocaster XII guitar. It was needing more work than whay I could put money on. However, I did put together my Jazzmaster guitar. I decided to go with custom pickups from Buddha Pickups. I decided to get regular...

Re: Stacked P-90 on DIY Les Paul Junior Well, it took a while but I managed to put the guitar together. I decided to have the guitar set up to BEADF#B instead of what I originally planned. I am a bit disappointed with the pickup, though. I thought that it would be hum-cancelling, but it still...
