    shiftline OLYMPIC channel switching question

    Hello esteemed members of this distinguished accumulation of rabbit holes! I'm putting together my pedalboard again after like a year of going back and forth between tinkering and neglecting and now I've confirmed my fear about switching between the OLYMPIC's input and fx-return. When putting...

    Exploring option for a dirt cheap parts bass

    This showed up on my local marketplace feed. It is under $100. I'm looking to have a parts bass to tinker with and I have tuners, pickups and a spare control plate so I'm thinking of picking it up. I doubt the pickups and electronics in it work and I doubt the neck is wonderful - but for...

    How to increase the size on the control cavity in a Jazz Bass - without routing

    Ok, I thought I'd post this video of a technique I thought up to give my Jazz bass some more room in the control cavity for anew control plate I put in last year. The new control plate had more electronics and my soldering was messy and didn't have neat wiring, so I need more space in the...

    Ibanez EHB1005MS Overhaul

    I've been playing a stock Ibanez EHB1005MS for over a year now and, like many users, just can't get a sound I'm happy with out of the pickups. It's serviceable - I can get tones close enough to use in a variety of venues and genres - but acceptance is not satisfaction. I looked into Dingwall...

    LiberaToe-4 - Pedalboard System w/ Switching & Routing (demo/review)

    Late 2022, I saw an advertisement, likely in my Hotmail feed, for a ‘system’ that involved pedals, a pedalboard-type concept, as well as a switcher. I was intrigued immediately and looked into the LiberaToe-4. The LiberaToe-6 is an expanded version (six integrated units/pedals vs. four), along...

    Working with carbon fiber sheets - need advice

    Hi everyone, For my current WBO build I'm considering some carbon fiber parts, including a small pickguard, pickup ring and jackplate. Since it's not any standard body shape, the only way is to make it myself from a sheet of carbon fiber, probably 1-1.5mm. I'm familiar the PPE that goes along...

    Stingray 4 vs. 6-bolt Neck Compatibility/Interchangeability

    Can an older 4-bolt Stingray neck be retrofitted to fit snugly into the newer 6-bolt neck pocket? Ernie Ball is sadly not offering a lined Fretless Stingray Special, and like so many, I want what I clearly cannot have. There’s a 4-bolt lined fretless Stingray for sale locally that’s 11 lbs...

    Strat pickup next to the bridge

    Im a huge fan of Cliff Burton and after finding out that he had a guitar pickup installed in the bridge of his Rick ive been thinking about doing that to my bass. If i do some routing close to the bridge will it take away support that the wood around the bridge gives it?

    Throwing the Novak BS-DS & Serek LZN-B-90 into a HB PB-50

    Going to be my first time doing some larger routing to a bass (especially for the B-90 at bridge). That’s why I grabbed the Harley Benton Tele Bass. Originally wanted to do it to my 80’s tokai jazz, but it sounds too good stock to mess around with:whistle:. Butchering it would be no fun, so...

    Precision PUP routing on a J-Bass

    How Big Should Pickup Routes Be?

    Routing question: Does a pickup weigh more than the wood you remove to install it?

    Yeah, I know- probably depends on the species of wood. In my case, it's light swamp ash (Warmoth G4). I'm considering a "Tractor" J rout behind the bridge MM. Thanks for any help!
