you called Mandy a hoot above, and I, unaware of the advertising history of Paultons and its use of "hoot", assumed Steve Browning had missed his quote
@Steve Browning apologies, my lack of knowledge there, you were not wrong at all.
well, if I'd said "phwoarr nice ti..." I could understand the fuss and as the father of two stunningly pretty little girls, agree, but I didn't.
if you type @ and wait a moment you get a list of users to suit and you can drill down. Make sure you click on their avatar and the link goes orange. They then get a nudge to look.
Bit like facebook
steady on there, you'll get the same treatment from the misogyny police that I did for suggesting that one of @wateroftyne 's fellow performers was cute
I've bought some jazz bass pickups on ebay.
They have codes 048612 & 048613 underneath which I know are fender codes for the bobbins - they have "59" or "se" handwritten on in white (its a little unclear)
Standard spec for US jazz is allegedly
Neck 8.3 kohm and Bridge 7.8kOhm
they look fine visually
I used a multi-meter and measured at the soldered contacts
neck 6.9 k Ohm
bridge 7.57 k Ohm
can anyone tell me what the effect of the resistances being reversed (ie relatively between the two positions) is ?
If I've measured wrongly please advise where I should correct my technique - I used the 20 kOhm range.
thanks
actually I quite like that strat.
Those are quite brave designs (I particularly like the pink les paul) although I do prefer the look of the epiphones slightly
I too would choose suspicious minds. @Beedster
Also Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash - I totally flew playing this alone with an acoustic guitarist and it would just be ace playing this with Johnny Cash if he were less dead. Crowd went mental.
they ask a lot of money for their product and pretty much only because its made in America. Whilst I appreciate that Americans are paid more than the Chinese; its not proportionately better for being made in the US, or each one absolutely perfect . Its not like each one is carefully blessed by magic pixies upon completion. Just priced out of its market. I'd say the same about US fenders.
I had an epiphone les paul that blew a real gibson out of the water once i'd replaced the pickups. Worth the extra to go Gibson? I didn't feel so.
