    NGD: Barebones Doom

    After looking at all sorts of fancy superstrats with every feature imaginable, and nearly buying a multi-scale headless singlecut bass, I decided to step back, re-evaluate, and possibly move in a slightly different direction. Without further ado: Limited run early 2019 Gibson Les Paul...

    Least Resource-Intensive DAW For Minor Recording

    Hey guys, I'm spending next week in an airbnb while my wife is at a conference, and want to do some recording while I'm there. Super simple stuff, just single track guitar into an IR with a single backing track. The problem is I'm using a terrrrrible laptop for this. What's the least...

    Single Pedal MultiFX (ie Line 6 M5)

    So I'm looking for something for my bass board to act as my all-in-one box for random FX. I've got a chorus right now, but I want something that can do more for those rare occasions I want to add in some, like, tremolo or reverb or something like that. I'm just not sure what's out there besides...

    NGD: My Guitar's So Bright, I've Gotta Wear Shades

    Traded off my Valveking II that wasn't seeing any use for something that hopefully will. More pics to come when I have a chance, but for now enjoy the radiation green: It's a Jackson RRXT. Not 100% sure on the year (I think it's a 2011 based off the serial) or the country of origin (I've...

    OBD - Fender Aerodyne Jazz

    Pics first, talks later. Not quite a "new" bass day, as this was my old bass that I sold to my father-in-law to be able to afford my AmStd Jazz V. But I finally have my baby back and I can't see myself selling it again anytime soon. Had a hell of a time restringing it - cut the A string...

    Stevexc's Misadventures In Pedal Building

    I figure rather than clogging up the "What's your next purchase" thread I'd start my own thread (with hookers and blackjack!) to clog up. So recently I've gotten hooked on the idea of building my own pedals. Not to save money (although it is quite a bit cheaper to build rather than buy some of...

    NBAD - Vintage Bittersweet Peavey

    Now that I'm starting to piece this out I figured I might as well post a New Bass Amp Day thread. Joined a new band and decided I needed a new, gig-worthy amp to replace my Rumble 100. Sold my HD500 to (originally) buy a PF-500 but came across this steal on Kijiji (Craigslist, eh?). Pic first...

    NPD: Custom Winspear Broadswords

    Okay, I get people don't often make threads for picks, but these are just so damn cool and @Winspear deserves all the attention his company can get (LINKDROP LINKDROP LINKDROP). Pics first: Fancy Winspear packaging with a wax seal and everything! The whole package! Izzy has claimed...

    NPD x3 - Something Retro, Something Green, and Something Cool

    Been on a pedal-purchasing rampage the past couple of weeks, got some cool stuff used. First off, what's more retro than good ol' Pogs? Got a sweet deal on this from fellow forumgoer @Screamingdaisy and I'm loving it. I'm purely using this as an octave-up box, making a "guitar" duplicate of...

    Steve's Crappy Covers

    So for one reason or another I've been spitting out cover after cover lately. Most of them are sloppy as hell, but I feel like they've been getting better and better. Rather than spam the forums and/or chat with all of them (who am I kidding I'll still spam chat with them) I figured I'd toss...

    Putting Together A Guitar Curriculum

    Hey guys, I've recently started teaching group beginner (acoustic) guitar lessons through my city's rec centres. It's more-or-less going well so far at this point (3 weeks in) but I'm quickly running a fine line between "running out of things to teach" and "teaching way too much". I've had a...

    Filling and Redrilling Trem Claw Holes

    So I've got a bit of an odd conundrum. I've been trying to install a Tremol-No in my LTD M-102 but noticed that it doesn't like to work properly - specifically, it stops consistently short of returning back to pitch when disengaged. From what I can tell the shaft is binding in the receiver...

    NPBD: How Steve Got A Pedalboard For <$35 CAD (DIY Content Inside)

    Got myself down to the local cheap pedalboard store (cough cough IKEA) and picked up the parts to build this sucker for my 4 pedals. Overkill? Sure. Excuse to buy more pedals? Definitely. This'll be a bit of a build thread too. Here's the supplies I picked up: Cost: ~$14 for the...

    NDB: A Real American Hero

    So I've been looking around lately for a new 5-string to replace the SR505 that just hasn't been cutting it for me. And being me, I've had a very specific list of "must-haves" and wants. It had to be a Jazz bass shape, had to be a 5-string, had to have an attractive (to my eyes) headstock, and...

    NGD: Everyone Needs A Little Black Les... (Eclipse Content)

    Paying from mobile, not correcting overzealous auto corrects. Picked this up in a trade last night for my Nashville Tele which, despite being a unique and fun little first, want boxing with me. A Little too heavy (ten pounds!), not quite enough upper fret access (or upper frets... I can do...

    /FT Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster - Modded

    Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: 2013 Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster, BSB with a maple fretboard. Modded with a 5-way switch and SD Hot Rails in neck and bridge. In great shape, I just don't find myself playing it ever. I don't think there's a single ding on it, maybe the odd...

    NAD: First time playing with REAL tubes!

    Well, I've owned a "tube amp" before - an Ampeg SVT4-Pro - but that was a hybrid head with an SS power amp. Sounded killer but I never really got a chance to do anything with it - I played one jam with it in the 4 years I owned it, sadly enough. I've never had a full-tube amp, though, and...
