Hi All! Trying to understand/troubleshoot why this mystery is happening for the second time. The first time was with the supertrons and this time with the classics. I just replaced an epi LP that had Rio Grande P90s in there before, everything worked fine. FYI, white is the hot lead to the...

Hi all! I apologize if this topic has been covered; I did search it first. How does changing pole pieces to blades change the sound of a pickup? For instance could one make a JB with blades? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all, I’m looking for a kv-2 if anyone wants to sell. Thanks! Nate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First time I ever soldered speakers. Turned out sounding real aggressive! So excited. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I wanted to vent for a second. It is such a nuisance how seven string pickups have no established parameters in terms of size. If your guitar came with pickups from one company and you want to switch to duncan or anything else you are going to have to rout the cavities. Want to go from...

Hi all! I assume some of you have 5150 iii heads. I have a 50 watt el-34 version and the clean channel does not make any sound regardless of where the gain or volume is set. The blue and red channels are fantastic. I have included a link where I mistakenly refer to channel 1 as blue. It is...

Hi all, I wondered if anyone had tried mixing the fluence classics with a blackout? Did you have much success? I’ve got a guitar coming in the next few days that comes stock with the fluence classics but I really love the grind of the mick Thompson or the retribution blackouts in the bridge so...

Hi all, I recently was given a zakk wylde wah. I really like the second half of the sweep to toe down. Problem is that half the sweep is so deep that it vanishes in a rehearsal situation. Just inarticulate mud. I know people adjust was to take out the high end, but how would I do the reverse...

Hi all, I’m really jonesing for an ampeg vt-40 amp. The prices vary on reverb and eBay and it’s somewhat difficult to know what you are getting. I thought it might also be cool to have someone build a clone of it…but most custom amp makers seem to be chasing after fender and Marshall. Does...

Hi all, I wondered if anyone had any experience painting a pickguard with acrylics and how one could preserve the artwork. I have a friend that wants to paint my 76 explorer guard and am not sure how would be the best way to preserve it. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gibson Explorer ‘76 Reissue Hi all, I have a 76 reissue explorer that I just got a refret done on. My luthier told me, play it see how you like it—I know the neck is going to be better. But he told me that the pickups were not really a great match for one another. Currently it has a P-Rails...

Hi All, I was cleaning out my stuff for a move and stumbled into this speaker. I can’t really remember when or why I got it. All I know is that it’s 16 ohms...are there any combo amps out there that I could easily sub this out into? Would love to use it into a blues jr or something but they...

I’m probably late to the party on this one but I just got this set up in my patchbay. Wow. What a great sounding device. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all, I just got a EMG dg-20 set and I’m trying to find the foam to separate the battery from the circuit. It doesn’t look like there is any. Could I do the install without the foam? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I’m hoping somebody on here might have a little experience with setting up guitars tuned below standard. I often tune to C# or drop B. My fifth to first strings tune and intonate fine. But the sixth string I just can’t seem to get right. When I pick the string the note will rise in...
