  1. Totally agree with Bubinga5 - although I have heard some say they affect the sound - they def hinder your technique if you play fingerstyle. If you do fit them, make sure you drill small pilot holes before you screw them in - otherwise you'll probably crack the finish in an UGLY way!

  2. In years to come - you'll always regret it if you don't get the stingray - particularly as it's a good un! Imagine having a 1960 jazz or a 51 P. If you don't buy the ray, let me know who's selling!!

  4. Thanks Eltham.....errmmm it was a bit technical!

    Unfortunately, I do touch the polepieces a lot and the noise is very intrusive. I'd like to keep these pickups in (which are allegedly 77 pups although not the originals) - they sound awesome - is there an easy rewiring fix that would help?

    Cheers

    OK -so the refret is done, the trussrod issues are sorted and the cosmetic magic has been applied.

    When I touch the polepieces, the bass buzzes badly. I've checked the earth continuity and it's all fine, however I also noticed that the two outside polepieces on the bridge pickup also seem to be connected to earth - one at either end of the pickup - and just on the bridge pickup. Anyone got any ideas what's going on here and a possible solution?

    Cheers in advance,

    Col
