Does anybody know if there's any way to buy a handful of these parts? These are great for a way to use various tuning capacitors for oscillator projects.

What the heck is causing my amp to make this sound? It's a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I've had it for a couple of years, brand spankin' new and have had zero issues with this amp until today. Tubes look good to my knowledge, but I have a feeling it might be the issue. As much of a gear head I am...

I'm needing a KP badly. If somebody doesn't use his or hers and wouldn't mind getting rid of it for cheap, please let me know.

As you all may know, I tore apart my MIM HSS Strat and am doing things to it. I'm keeping the body and the neck. Pretty much everything else won't be used. If any of you want something from it, let me know. I can load up the pickguard and sell all of that stuff as a whole if you want or just...

I decided that since I can't sell the MIM HSS Strat, does anybody have any fun ideas for it. I'm thinking about taking the turn to make it "unique." My friend just gave me the neck pickup from his old Epiphone EA-250 (my guess is that it was a minihumbucker meant to fit into bodies that used...

Beaten up and everything, but it's just so cheap! http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Japan-Foto-Flame-1950s-Reissue_W0QQitemZ110308836525QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item110308836525&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A15%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Just for ****s and giggles?

My Arion SAD-1 finally passed away. I knew it was going to happen soon when it started acting senile on me, but it still hurts. My friends said "Why don't you just get a new delay?" I didn't think I was ready to just up and replace my long-time companion, but now I think I do really need it. I...

I'm thinking of new pickups for my Ibanez (AWD82T). I want a single-coil sound, so I'm thinking either P-94s or Bluesbuckers. The idea of putting the Bluesbuckers in backwards sounds really cool. They say that if you put them in backwards, it sounds like a Telecaster when together, but I'm not...

I absolutely love my Sparkle Drive, and don't have a power supply for it, so I always use 9 volts. Today, I went to practice with my band and noticed that the sound this time was absolutely awesome. My other guitarist was asking me how I got that sound. Then as I continued playing, I realized...

Apparently, they only have enough bucket brigade circuits to last two and a half years, so they went digital for the new Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. I wonder if it's still going to be as good. He says it still keeps a good analog sound, but, you know, that's what they all say.

The "Echoplus." They have a nice way of getting out of lawsuits. The "Prinz" instead of "Prince;" now I find the "Echoplus" instead of "Echoplex" Anyways, I wonder if they were any good. Here's the ebay link...

I'm working on an experimental indie-rockish band which will contain a lot of somewhat noisey (but not nonsensical rubbish) jams and whatnot, and a lot of stuff I have in my head at the moment would require a fuzz pedal. I was looking at Z.Vex's line of fuzz pedals (Fuzz Factory, Fuzz Probe, and...

To use a rack preamp to build an amp with? Does it make any difference? I was thinking about using the Voodoo Lab preamp to build with the local expert, but don't know how it'll work out and don't want to ask him, as I'll look like a moron and morons = people you can overcharge.

http://www.fender.com/joestrummer/ Definitely an awesome tribute guitar. They're being debuted at NAMM. I'd definitely buy one if I had the money. What do you guys think?

So, I got the white Hot Rod Deluxe (a really nice amp by the way, the Celestion neodymium speaker is much better than the Eminence ceramics), and I absolutely love it. However, the only problem that i have with it is that I noticed that the master obviously uses a linear taper pot instead of a...
