I'm seriously considering getting a set of these Parallel Axis Original Trembuckers (PATB-1) for my Ibanez hollowbody - don't judge, she's not for jazz. I play a combination, hard rock, surf, and blues (heavy emphasis on blues), I use a light fuzz about half the time (the other half, completely...

Re: Dream Guitars...what's yours? Currently, my goal is to own a Fender Classic Series 60's Stratocaster, partially because I'm genuinely in love with Stratocasters, and partially because it's more likely I could afford a guitar like this sometime in the next year or so. My favorite guitars...

Re: Favorite Fender Guitars Hey look! I found someone who likes Jazzmasters! http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Rig_Rundown_Dinosaur_Jr_s_J_Mascis I haven't even heard of J Mascis or Dinosaur Jr., but this popped up on my Facebook feed and I hade to check it out. Jazzmasters are kind of...

Aside from the poll, I have a different question entirely: how would you compare a Stratocaster and a Jaguar? I'm fond of Strats because they're so famous in the Rock & Roll/Blues industry, and because I really just love the steely, stable sound of them. I also like Jaguars and Mustangs because...

Alright, I soon as I start talking, you're going to start thinking, well of course you've got a low signal and a lot of hum - those pickups are ancient! But let me tell you, this is no ordinary hum, and I know these pickups can be louder. I borrowed the body and neck of my brother's Epiphone...

Here's something I did that I thought turned out really neat. Best part - no soldering or wiring changes necessary. I took all the pickups out of my Strat and moved them around - I moved the neck pickup to the middle position, the middle pickup to the bridge position, and the bridge pickup to...

I need an octave pedal until I can get a bass player. I've liked at the EHX POGs, but they're out of my price range. I've also looked at a Mooer Pure Octave, which would do the trick very well, and it's only $70-80. Your mission: find one that's even less expensive. If it's simpler (only goes up...

Re: Power Supply Thanks for your interest, Darkness - I've got a looper that I only use when practicing solos, a wah that I don't like, a compressor on the way, and two fuzz machines, at least one of which is ALWAYS on. For more details, check out my profile. As to both your tips on the...

Simple Question: How can I power a pedal board for less than $50, and is it advisable to do so? (Criterion: no added hissing, oscillating, noise, etc. from the power supply.) For instance, if you go to amazon and search for "pedal board power supply," five out of the first six results are under...

I've had an idea. I was thinking about wet-dry rigs and how it seems like it would be simple enough to get a cable-splitter, split your guitar's signal into to and run that into two seperate amps. This leads me to my first question: After you've split your signal and run one half through your...

Alright guys, here's the deal. I want a compressor pedal, primarily for use with acoustic but also good for electric, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. I'd also like to have an equalizer, but I don't want to have another whole pedal just for an equalizer. So, I think it'd be cool...

Question: What does the speaker size and/or number of speakers matter? If you have one head of a certain, unspecified wattage, what would be the difference in the sound if I put the head on a 112, 212, or 410 cabinet (seperately, not all three together). My case is that I want to buy a Fender...

Hi guys, how's it goin' - So here's the deal, right: I'm working on setting up my bedroom for an acoustically decent (not excellent) music room. I probably won't be using it to record, just practice and occasionally jam with a few partners. The thing is, I want to keep the sound INSIDE that...

Alright guys, check this out: Artec Classic Fuzztown Demo I found this fuzz pedal while I was looking around for cheap pickups and stuff at CaliGuitar. I've been wanting a Big Muff Pi for a while, but now I've changed my mind. This is absolutely THE COOLEST fuzz pedal I've EVER heard in my...

Re: UPDATE: Proofread This Schematic Alright, I've incorporated the series/parallel switch from that link into this new schematic. It's even more confusing. Basically, now the neck pickup is the one on the phase switch, and the black wire has to go through the series/parallel switch before...
