Mr Fudge Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thoughts please. I like the idea they are a British company as well. I am stupid and would require all the pots and jack. Could some one please advise me if a Fender P wiring kit [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130271270541"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130271270541[/url] would supply everything else needed, or whether I shoild be looking for something else. I have never done anything like this before and Im from West Bromwich. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You're from West Bromwich ?! Oh dear. I've just moved to Great Barr actually and did notice my IQ drop a bit . You shouldn't need any new pots or jack unless your current ones are shot. Just a case of soldering the wires in the same places as you unsolder them..

Mr Fudge Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Mr Machines, sorry, I told you I was from West Brom. I just have the P body at the moment. It is a new build. I'm playing at the Village hotel on Saturday in Walsall if you fancy some Black Country fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I wouldn't order a wiring kit. I'd just order what's in em from allparts. I bought a wiring kit from ebay - you get short changed with the length of wire. And one of the pots was dodgy. Probably a second. Also - there are better caps out there than orange drops. Esp if your going for a vintage pickup - maybe an oil/paper cap would be more in keeping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 If you don't think you can do it yourself then the best bet would be to get it down to Trevor at PMT Birmingham. He rewired my Dad's Hohner Precision for £15. Probably take cost more for yours if pots etc needed but give him a ring and see: 0121 359 5056.

KevB Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have no experience of the pickups but just thought I'd jump on the west bromich bandwagon and mention I've played a gig at The Stone Cross. In fact we are booked in to play again next year, if we have a band together that can cover it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try not to play in West Brom at any cost and have been reasonably successful in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 cheers fellas, ...... but what about wizards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I expect the Wizard guy will wire it all up for you if you ask him. He's very helpful. Incidentally if you are new to soldering I'd recommend a Maplins gas sodering iron kit for about £20. It transformed my soldering from useless to fine...

zigmondo Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 My experience of Wizard pickups is that they are skilfully and thoughtfully crafted. Not as advertised(hyped?) as, say, BKPs but at least their equal. I have had Wizards in one of my recording guitars for a number of years now and am exceedingly happy with them.
