Low Profile Jaguar Switches
Hello again shortscalers, I replaced the bridge pickup switch on my jaguar yesterday, but I had totally forgot that the switches on my jag are really low sitting, and now i have one standard Fender one that sticks out loads and is pushing my OCD into overdrive. I've had a scan around the net and can...

I tried that but I seem to remember the string not fitting down the hole in the middle, at least the E string didn't. I'll give it another to when I restring it, but those shortscale bass strings aren't cheap! It's holding tune well so I'm happy for now. I just need to find some compensated MM bass ...

Musicmaster Bass
Finished restoring this bass from a previously battered state. Needed a new pick guard, a sand to get off the god-awful refine, and a quick look at the electronics to get it working. The pickup broke sometime between me first getting it, and getting a new pick guard, but luckily I had a Musicmaster ...

I changed the preamp tubes in my 212 DeVille to 12AT7s as I'd heard it gave more clean headroom. I read it on here http://www.justinholton.com/hotrod/ but that link's died now, sadly. It basically says that doing this does what you're looking for. Results will vary with different amps I imagine, but...

Seen a lot of these from when I first got my Gretsch, they love them on the gretsch forum. THe advantage with them on a gretsch is that the bridge isn't fixed down at all, so it can be moved forwards and backwards a little to get the best intonation. When setting mine up, I intonate the 2 E strings,...

Super nice. I'm not ashamed I do love Bob. Went to his grave earlier this year in Jamaica, he's buried in a big marble casket, with his brother underneath, above ground. His mother's grave is in another building just a few yards away, she died in 2008 I believe. The guides there are hilarious, and t...

Looks like we've got twins! Congrats man, didn't take you long haha. How's the stock pickup in yours sound? I've been thinking about getting an antiquity pickup of some sort for mine, as I can't really get used to the humbucker sound of mine. When it's tapped it sounds much nicer, so I'm guessing a ...
