I would be fine with whatever format you have the file in, as I have yet to choose a program for my pc since I reset it. I saw that pick up winder, but since I don't have a Laithe I have decided to use a hand drill for turning. I have wired a cheap calculator to make a turn counter. I probably...

That would be great if you could share that with me, I would appreciate it.

It is currently being kiln dried, I think I remember them saying 9 months drying, but I ma probably wrong, I can probably get a piece of maple or oak to use until the cherry is ready. It will give me a chance to practice building the body before the 'real thing'. I will probably not buy a set of...

Th neo magnets are for magnatising the slugs after they are coiled, Thanks for verifying.

One more thing, could you double check my shopping list so I don't forget anything? I've got: 3 500K audio pots and knobs Lots of 42 AWG Gauge Enameled Copper Magnet Wire Electrical tape 2 largeish neodymium magnets Neck Strap holds Output jack (mono) Bridge Tuners Strings J pick up bobbins...

I should be able to charge the pickup magnets with some high power magnets I have kicking around. I am getting kind of excited to experiment with building the pickups. I will also likely use the tools again in the future if I try another style of pickup. I also live in Canada so shipping is...

OK, so I will make a turn counter and start winding once I get the bobbins. Thank you for your help, I will probably need more soon enough

Do you know what the resistance would be for 9000 wraps? If I know the resistance then I might be able to get away without a turn counter. If I really need one I can definitely make one.

Thanks, I was thinking of using a drill with variable speed to slowly wind the pickups, but i will try to build a proper Winder. I didn't know that you can buy bobbins, and I will pick some up if Customs doesn't add too much to the cost. Otherwise there is a magnet manufacturer nearby where I...

So I have been playing playing brother's bass for a while and have decided to get my own bass. I have decided to build my bass instead instead buy one, because It will be cheaper and a lot more fun. I sorted out everything except the pickups. I would like to try to build my own pair of Jazz...
