Hi, Im down to picking pickups for my last guitar. Its an orville les paul custom. I have a super D/Paf les paul for my hard rock/70s-80s metal which is about as heavy as I get (Maiden, Priest, some metallica). I have a SG with 59/custom and 59 for brighter rock like ACDC. In this guitar im...

Ive got a HH schecter pt and want to put a stl2 in the bridge. I cant just swap the bridge out for one that takes a regular tele pickup because it is an oddball size and I dont want to use an adaptor ring. Im thinking about: - mounting the stl2 on an old dimarzio humbucker baseplate - putting a...

Hi, I am looking to play a little bass at home volumes. I have a spare marshall 1933 cab (1x12, closed back, front ported) that I could put a bass speaker in. Would that work OK for some bass practice? Would an EVM12l survive bass in that? I hate to admit but I am partially going by looks here...

Hi, can anyone please advise me how to switch between two pre-amps running into a power amp. Is it an a/B box? I have a blues deluxe and mesa v-twin. I want to be able to use the clean and drive channels on the amp, but switch to the v-twin pre-amp in one foot stomp (i.e. not just use the...

Hi, I just picked up the body of a MG100 1x12 combo. The amp has been removed so it is just the cabinet + stock speaker. Anything useful I can do with this? Would it work well as an extension cab for my JCM800 4010 if I upgraded the speaker, or am I wasting my time?

Hi, I am after EMG35 active bass pickups. Would prefer at least one 35P, what have you got?
