Well, now I am very confused. So did you mean to say that you needed a corporate bigwig to tell you what size knob fits on what size pot? Even though any competent technician could have handled that simple task? But not matching a knob diameter or spline count? OK, I give up. You sound like...

How to Check Continuity for Beginners

FYI- that has nothing to do with continuity. Sub was asking you about continuity

Now I am confused - so you didn't follow his directions at all? They have nothing to do with a phone

Thank you, sir- As an American machinist I cannot stress enough how much QC is given up once things are made for profit over quality... We already knew those components are not proprietary or unique. Which is why you (Verner) should not hesitate to 'dig right in' and find out the values of...

That is not how continuity works, my friend. It is never weak nor strong. Does your meter have a symbol on the dial that looks like this: .))) - (but imagine the period was in the center of the parenthesis)? If so, and it doesn't beep when you touch your probes to the terminals, you do not have...

It is not going to 'slide' out, so I'll spare you the suspense. It will come out in teeny weeny little chunks that will be all over the floor of your apartment (hobby room in house?) for years to come. Once you have broken away enough of that bonding material you will be able to wiggle the...

My god, why do you keep going to this idea? Step away from your shock theory. Epoxy is an adhesive, and it gets softer with heat. You do realize that a transformer of this size is just a bunch of very small copper wires wound around some poles, yes? Why would you want to subject such an...

Happy to help. But I still vote for a find it yourself solution. It can't be that hard to dig out, and it can't be that expensive to replace. But since you might find yourself on various electronics supplies sites in the near future, you could also look for a piezo transducer to augment that...

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that a $185 wiring harness is anyone's best bet for a simple solution. Or either a custom made replacement for an inexpensive mass produced component... The item in question is certainly not a proprietary one developed by Gib o phone (as the print makes clear)...

That does not look like you hit any plastic to me... As backstory, I spent a long time as a high-end bicycle mechanic in NYC. Electronic shifting is and has been a thing for a while now. One system in particular (Shimano's Di2) has had a few big leaps in development, but in the earlier few...

Glad to hear

As a machinist by trade, I would strongly advise you not to attempt to drill through the body of your bass for an entirely unnecessary reason. You are opening quite a can of worms there. Re-insert the ferrules to your body with enough wood fill so that it requires a slight tap to seat flush, let...
