    Warwick 3D bridge modification - ABM bell bronze saddle insert alternative to the stock cast zinc.

    Just separating this mod from my introduction thread so it is easier for people to find. I like to mod my instruments so I decided to look for an alternative to the cast zinc inserts that were on my 3D bridge. I have used ABM guitar bridges in the past and think they are one of the best...

    3-band preamp for a Streamer LX

    I have recently purchaseds a new old-stock 05 Streamer LX4. Firstly it totally blew me away, the clarity of the J and the increadible growly meatiness of the P pups are about as nice as i've heard. The only issue i haveis that coming from playing a LX jazzman i'm really missing the mid...

    Upgrade to 18V

    Hey guys, I was wondering, is it possible to upgrade the electronics of my Corvette $$ to 18V? If so how would that affect my sound? I know that 18Vs generally give more headroom, but are there any other effects? Also would you recommend it or should I keep my bass as it is?

    Active Electronics Upgrade?

    Hi everyone, first post here. :) I got a Rockbass back in November (not sure what kind), and am considering putting an active EQ in it to get some extra clarity and definition. I don't know much about what's available or what's good, though, and was wondering if there were any suggestions...

    PU upgrade?

    Hi mates, Recently I purchased Corvette Std. Bubinga 5 strings (active-active). I have to say, that I expected more growl and wider sound. I assume, the reason might be the JJ pickups. I can compare to Streamer LX broadneck with active soapbars (I guess these are split coil humbackers like...

    Upgrade!

    I've been a happy owner of a Pro Tube IX for over a year now rigged with a 411Pro, and finally got the cash to buy a 115Pro as well! I thought I could use a little more muscle on the low end, so I made the investment. Now while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I started reading the amp manual...
