Installing pickups myself
Ok, so I have a Mexican Strat HSS and I got some lace Sensor gold pickups in the same configuration for Xmas. I'm mechanically incline and know how to read a schematic (for the most part). It gives options for a Single coil, non-split, and SPDT on-on 2way switch diagrams, I assume mine is a non split? I'm going to pick up…

Most overused and overrated effect
In popular music (rock, hip hop, country, indie, ect) what do you think the most overrated and overused effects are? Obviously, the end result is up the the artist but this is just a matter of opinion. I'm gonna say Chorus. It's awesome in Master of Puppets and Nirvana but I think it's heavily used in a lot of songs (I'm…

Bass Guitar
So my wife has been in love with the bass guitar since we got back from Philly and she calls me up today and tells me that her father bought her one. How much is it akin to a regular guitar as far as theory goes? I know that the basic layout is the same as far as the four strings on the bass mirroring the E, A, D, G on the…
