    I found a space PJ (Ibanez SR650)

    I have a thing with PJs. I don't know what it is, I just think they're cool. I've had my eye on a Markas Miller active/passive PJ for a while, just hadn't pulled the trigger. One day I walk into my local guitar shop and my eye is instantly caught by what can only be described as a space PJ. An...

    I bought the most expensive Harley Benton bass (BZ-6000 II NT)

    I played a 6 string in my local guitar shop and got a sudden, burning need to have one... but not that one. It was a piece of crap. After a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that Harley Benton has, hands down, the best spec to price ratio, even when you include shipping. Neck-through was...

    I recently bought a used bass with a Noll TCM 3 installed. The controls are: volume with a push/pull, blend, mid, and stacked bass/treb. It sounds like the push/pull just bypasses the EQ completely and leaves a really thin sound with no control. I am completely unfamiliar with active/passive...
