    What's on the workbench?

    When I was like 12 years old, I slipped on and fell into some cat vomit right after a shower. I was so grossed out that I immediately took another shower before cleaning the carpet. Once clean and dressed, I forgot all about the carpet mess so I slipped and fell in the vomit a second time. Aaand...

    I do remember the original one i played in the 90s was heavier than the j bass i owned at the time. Loaded up with all them magnets it's actually a little lighter than my p-bass. Just over 8.5 lbs (4kg) on my kitchen scale. Without the big clunky bridge and original tuners, the weight is reduced...

    How many times have I hit refresh on the expressionator page today?

    For sure, I have a madbean wavelord and it is awesome but this was more about getting weird and arhythmic stuttery rubato nonsense. I mostly intended to irritate my drummer with it.

    New bass update: I already regret the tesi switch. I've played through several rigs with it now and it has an annoying pop on the release. Not that I'm planning to be the next buckethead... it just seemed fun but it's two thumbs down unless there's a fix that I'm not aware of. A brief search of...

    Take it up with Peavey! 😛 I did actually laugh while tracing for my template when I noticed the right side had more than twice as many as the left. Must've been absolutely stuffed with pots n switches to necessitate such thorough fastening.

    New bass day has arrived and it's been a long time coming. I found this peavey t40 body and Mexican jbass neck online for super cheap over a year ago and have been slowly collecting the rest of the parts. My first bass was a Mexican J and when I dropped it in highschool breaking 2 tuners, I had...

    Favorite amp replacement pedal?

    I've built all three, you won't get much dirt out of the PA. I use the PA in my practice rig as a pedal platform to test other pedals as it can quickly be dialed in for both bass and guitar. Your assumption is correct, the bassdude is more versatile but I really really like the sound of the...

    Favorite 1590XX builds

    My favorites of that size are the Sushibox Nobelium and ppcb duophase. My favorite combo in an xx box is my madbean Junk trunk/ brown dog.

    TLDR: 110 I don't keep very good notes but I think the ac127 was around 85 hFE. I've actually had the lid off of this pedal some recently because I had the suspicion that 85 was too low. I thought it sounded amazing with the bias at zero and then it would just get maybe too gated at the other...

    This thing was yet another blunder free effort. Hardest part was choosing a germ since I had a few that sounded good. I got ahold of a 2sd352 but I think the hfe was a little high so I ended up going with an AC127 that was closer to the right spec. Sounded much better. This fuzz is pretty...
