  1. [quote name='Mr H' post='1173842' date='Mar 23 2011, 08:41 PM'].......... takes about fifteen minutes, is often done under local anaesthetic, works very well, and doesn't take long to recover from. In fact, keeping the fingers active is part of the recovery.............[/quote]

    HA

  2. Lots of places. The problem is the search term. What you're looking for there is a 3pdt (3 pole, double throw) switch. Ebay has quite a few.

  3. I came across this site

    Looks decent enough.

  4. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1171373' date='Mar 21 2011, 09:36 PM']Ew that stuff is about as sticky as spit (probably fine for this though).
    I use the dear Loctite stuff on everything (it's the luthier's best freind)... even then it's not a powerful as it used to be.[/quote]
    Yeh, but i dont have any real super strong needed applications for it.

    It is also too weak to keep my fingers glued together for long. About 10 minutes, and i can pry em apart.

  5. [quote name='KevB' post='1170952' date='Mar 21 2011, 05:31 PM']When I got my US jazz S/H I noticed that there were a lot of scratches on the plate in an area below the G string, I don't know whether the previous owner played a lot of high register stuff and kept missing or what...I've had it about 4 or 5 years now and the plate looks exactly the same as when I got it so I know I've not personally contributed to it. I think I put more marks in wiping them down than actually using them.[/quote]
    You get that popping the G string.

    it happens on my basses a fair bit.

  6. Alright. Typically, you got the A250k's for the pots. And a nice big orange cap at 0.047 micro farads.

    Id also recommend as a little mod, to put in a control bypass switch. It literally bypasses all the knobs, and puts the pickups signal straight to the jack. Because of the tone cap in the path, even when full off, its going to take a few highs. The mod gives a tad more high end, and is pretty cool.

    This is mine with the mod (the switch at the bottom)

  7. Im looking for some pickup eyelets


    And some (probably) 42 awg wire. Besides Stewmac in the USA, are there any local (UK) sources for these parts. I want to fashion my own pickups, and these would be the only things i can see having a problem getting hold of.

  8. same thing happened on one of my basses. Turns out somehow it was only resting on 1 screw, so the other would screw its self upward and protrude above the saddle. I fixed it with a few drops of superglue.

    Also, i have a few saddles lying around if you want one free of charge. (Standard barrels)

  9. I got a custom scratchplate from aurora. It was good, but the material they used was weird, like made in layers, and it wasnt the best fit, although i did send them the body instead of an actual design. Works though.

    It was this scratchplate
