I was thinking of that but I would only be able to take off half the thickness of the plate and leave it at 1/8 from the current 1/4 it has and then I'd still be left with a minimum saddle height of 5/8 which would still require me to countersink it at least another 1/8 since but still the...

I thought so but this bridge is just so sexy.. sigh

hi guys I'm working on a build and recently purchased a bridge for it that apparently has a saddle height of 3/4" at the lowest which seems a bit too high as my fender's highest string measures only 15/32" which is almost a third more of what the LOWEST point of this bridge is which kind of...

I'm taking it to the tech, thanks anyway guys edit: upon giving up i decided to try it one last time (on my desktop setup) and guess what, it works perfectly, volume is loud and tone is rockin!! .. gonna bring the amp to the tech instead.. thanks again chaps!

yes i hit it with the screw driver tip, volume level response was same as the strings (really low) going to check the lead through the output tonight and redo all the wiring, again edit: btw i reveresed the wires on the bridge pu to see if they were really out of phase but it turns out i had...

sorry but what do you mean by open circuit? I've forgot to mention I tested the rotation as well, it was smooth all the way up to .21 I checked the lead and it seems ok, the cavity is shielded but there is nothing to make contact with it from the main circuit, going to double check that again

got some more readings and here are the results, tone pot reads 0.21, bridge pot .21 and neck pot .20 (all rolled off, I get same readings when boosted with the other lugs) pots are obviously 250k overall I should only hear a 20% cut in volume but the level output is actually below that.. Link...

sorry my phrasing was bad i dont have a gun, its just a regular 45w iron ill do some more readings of the pots after i finish work edit: cable is brand new premium fender..

i suspect the pickups might be out of phase, ill try reversing the wiring tomorrow and see if that works there is a good chance that is the reason for the low volume/thin sound

turns out I do but what is weirder is all the readings are correct I've managed to get slightly more output today after the billionth resoldering but it's still unsignificant as compared to what it was before this tragedy began I get the faintest response from hitting the pole pieces now...

hello lads, i'm been nearing the edge of sanity for the past 3 days as what started as a simple inspection of my mia jazz.. upon opening the control plate i had noticed the pots not being grounded from one to another (unaware that that they were being grounded through the plate) that only led...

cheers sir, not many people dealing with wood in Dublin.. sad..

hello, I am considering a modification for my first build involving a laminated neck through core however I am a bit lazy in doing it myself, so I was wondering if anyone would know of any builders that can supply such semi-finished part.. any tip appreciated ps. sorry for sounding like a fraud..

thank you sir

right i am trying to fit two different configurations in just 1 bass and i don't really have any space left for 2 batteries could someone shed a light as to how it would be possible for 2 preamps to use 1 battery i have a ON ON toggle switch that i will use to change between each preamp-...
