    If You Were Doing A Gear Purge… How Would You Proceed.

    If in Nashville The Lowend bass shop moves a lot of gear. He does consignment only but things move fast. You could probably ship it to them. GC is fast. They supposedly pay 60% of what they would get. I’ve been treated fairly when doing that.

    sq series capacitor

    I could be wrong but it’s not that common to find orange drops in a Fender from the factory. Typically they use ceramic disc capacitors. Good cap though and assuming the correct value for tone it’ll last forever.

    Alternative to the Pure Vintage 63

    This is where it gets weird. Things like warm or classic, punchy , bloom, bounce, chime, musical and so on. It’s a must try for yourself deal. Use whatever strings you like. I bet you fall in love with it. Cheers

    Alternative to the Pure Vintage 63

    Best p pickup I have found to date is the Duncan Antiquity 60’s Pride. I think I have 3 now. I do like other pickups. I recently installed a Spb2 and it’s fantastic i have a few most excellent pups as well but no question on the lovely 60’s pride in whatever it gets installed.

    Perfect Nut

    Set relief first before going as low as possible. If not it could buzz if set afterwards and actually be too low.
