Gday. i just started putting in my new preamp yesterday and when i put the knob on and took it off the volume pot it pulled the hole shaft out preety much. So now that pots stuffed and want to get a new pot asap. I looked at my old preamp to see if it had the same value i needed (50k) but its...

So on my Cort GB35A i have lowered the saddles down to the lowest that they will go but it is still to high for my liking. I have been thinking about removing it and routing about 2-3 mm so that its level with the bottom of the bridge bottom to give more leverage with adjustments to the bass...

I was thinking the other day about everyone always wanting clean clear and crisp highs and bassy lows, but i think i would prefere dullish high and clear lows. Like the bridge pickup on a fender strat (sorry for the foul launguage :P) how is it slanted one way, would it work going the other way...
