But, I need the Outline Shaped Packaging Foam from a pair of Jazz Pickups... to act as surrounds in the original routs... Anyone?

PaulThePlug Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) These arrived today... thanks to @shoulderpet DiMarzio DP123 Model J Set... look quite 'Moody' with the Hex Poles... Twin coil... for the Silent Treatment... Still after some Grey or Black foam though... Anyone? 😉 Edited November 13, 2023 by PaulThePlug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Loom sorted... A500k Vol, MN500k Blend, B250k & 0.033uf Tone... as per DiMarzio recommended values - although I opted for a Linear Tone pot rather than Taper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Far too confident screwing the cavity plate on... Yep... Blend working Ar$e about Face... Think DiMarzio wiring diag was for AC not MN... nothing stated... and their recommended 250k / 0.033u don't seem to do much tone-wise... 'praps i should go A250?.. might even do without... [Edit: Just removed the tone...] Think i might need to take a second look as Vol doesn't seem to go Zero? Anyone? Un-Ground the Blend?

Funny you mentioned removing the tone control, I have had a little "mishap" with the pots on my build and I have just removed the volume and tone and wired straight to the jack socket, I am actually considering leaving it this way as without the loading effect of the pots it sounds really gnarly and aggressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
