Evil Geniuses

I understand that this forum is mainly for basses and accessories. Well i have became an “Evil Genius”. I have a Walmart Special First Act ME80 electric guitar. Nothing fancy about it. Except that it doesn’t have a plywood body. (Even my 1974 Japanese Harmony short scale bass. Has a plywood body.) I had one two wire humbucker and one 500K ohm volume pot. Well I didn’t think that it did anything for the tone of the single humbucker. Now I have a 5 wire humbucker both north and south coils each with a 250K volume pot. With one tone pot of 250K ohms and a 2200uf capacitor on the tone pot.

One string is the way

Hell yeah it is definitely the way! “Just Wanna Be Me” Brushy One String is my theme song.

Except that is 3 strings the D, B, and High E. I over tightened the G string. Got the D string, and over tightened the A string. Then cut the low E thinking it was the A string.


I have completely rewired everyone of basses and guitars. The First Act ME80 Walmart Special electric guitar has a 2200uf Cap. The Harmony is not sporting humbuckers. It’s sporting single coil fakebuckers.

Did you build them all yourself?


This Rogue 5 string PJ style 2 tone and 2 volume. Is the second Rogue bass I’ve owned. My first was bought brand new from Guitar Center. That was a Rogue series three fretless PJstyle

PJ style 2 tone and 2 volume. Bought brand new from Guitar Center in March of 2021. My 5 string I traded my Pyle 4 string blue quilt top for. I moved the output jack to the front now she has a 100K ohm volume pot, a 250K ohm with a .47uf capacitor treble cut pot, and a 1 meg ohm pot with a 47uf capacitor for the bass cut pot. Plus where the output jack originally was is a switch craft Gibson 3 way toggle switch.

I also have a Rogue SX100B my Generic Pbass with two separate coils on the split coil Pbass pickup and a 250K push pull volume pot for series or parallel playing and a .68uf capacitor on a 250K tone pot.


With neon orange coated strings. I will not use round wound strings unless they are coated!
