she was on the first white noise album ( an electric storm ) its ummm,,, well its probably on utube so have a listen,but don't have the volume up too loud or the neighbours might be round asking if they can join in 😁
thanks for the reply ,,,all the wiring looks ok continuity from bridge to control plate all the pots are wired ground to each other. i ll give gak a call later and see what they say. cheers
