I got the Alright I got the printed board schematic and harness schematics. Im also an idiot lol. Could you explain this like your talking to a small child please? Id really appreciate it if you could help point me in the right directions for understanding this more.

Ok I understand now. Found the preamp schematic for the pickups. Working on filter section now. I believe I have solved the majority of the mystery around these pickups at this point. Time to build. Experimenting not necessary anymore. Now designing bobbins

THANK YOU!!!

Alright. Learning more about pickups it appears anything is possible. Without pole pieces, it seems to reduce the overall output, and potentially add more highs, which I know is related. Depending on just how much it reduces the output, it may not have been possible with the extremely low wrap...

Me either. Its an assumption based on the fact that Rick Turner, who made the pickups, originally began by messing with Phil Leshes bisonics. He added a magnet to increase the width of the magnetic field and add power, I believe. Therefor, I assume he based his design around the bisonic...

Ok. this seems to line up dimensionally with what I have so far. A 1 inch wide ceramic magnet will leave almost the perfect amount of space for a wire wrapped around it about 3000 times. But that part doesn't make sense to me and must be my own arrogance. Is the wire wrapped around the magnet...

Alright so i've figured this much out now. -Winds -Wire -Dummy Coil Now im looking for bobbin shape.. magnet shapes... similarities and what not. Like would this be essentially a P90, Pole Piece magnet style, Bisonic? My assumption is that they are similar to bisonics. Another assumption is...

Hey everyone, im trying to nail down the series 1 or so Alembic bass pickups with the dummy coil. Heres what im certain of: -2.6ish output -Ceramic Magnet(s) -Single Coil with Separately housed dummy coil (not 100% here but about 95%) And nothing else. Has anybody ever been able to...

Hey everyone, Is there a chart or link somewhere for info on the minimum amount of wood lost on the edges of fretboard when sanding various radius? I can figure it out tomorrow but I'm wondering if it exists now to save some time. Thank you!!

Scratch build neck yes

Feel free to move as needed please and apologies if I posted in the wrong area

Scratch for the all of the wooden parts. Bought the bridge, tuners, guard, and BS-DS

He’s not the biggest fan haha

It’s a coil tapped BS-DS from Curtis Novak. I wound the J-pups with pretty standard specs. The wiring is typical Jazz bass wiring for the J-pups with orange caps for the tone. It has a Push-Pull that has normal wiring in down position and series wiring in the up. The switch is on what is...

I finished the first of what will be many Tractor basses. It’s awesome.

Oh yea definitely interested in pics and schematics of your build! And its still a work in progress. I am building entirely from scratch. The body and pickguard are finished and the body has a finish. I made a dot neck and then decided I wanted a block and binding neck instead. Then I decided...

Sorry for late reply. I was able to get the right rods and return the others immediately after you sent this haha. And got it. I went through the whole thread and learned a lot. Now im practicing making theses things and will update with results. Thanks again, Bruce!

Hey Bruce, I found your post almost immediately after posting this. Tons of great info in the way I find most inspiring. I've already ordered a few materials to begin making my own and plan on using your design with the middle blocks. Im assuming this helps with lengths as well? Currently the...

Hey everyone, Wondering what the minimum acceptace for truss rod length might be in reagards to nut and heel. As in, from heel to 1st or 2ed fret? entire distance? I have a 34.5 inch 6 string bass getting built. With current rods in my shop I can get a heel spoke wheel adjustment and the rod up...

how do I do the export a flat view? That would help me on so many projects

Hey everyone question is in the subject. I'm having trouble locating such a thing

Hey does anybody know where I might find some template files fro the Fender Electric 12? Im having trouble and the one I found is about 1.5 inches short

Hey guys, recently I received major help on this site and I want to pay it forward to the community. My Niece asked for a authentic Vampirina Ukulele (Disney show thing) so I worked something up quick in Fusion 360. I have the body, a fretboard, neck with a generic headstock (requires a further...

I have a 54 P bass in production and I REALLY want to add a J pup near the bridge. DOOOOO IIITTTTTTTTTT. Why not? Its just just a J bass. It will have subtle differences tho be very close.

Seems to be somewhat subjective but I think its mostly about weighing weight vs tone in the individual players mind. Entirely dependent on what the player wants and how they can handle it + how they perceive tone and get there. One person might believe that a solid body made from very heavy wood...

Alright, I’m going to see what I can throw together today. Off work and at home while my Bath is getting fixed so I have a lot of time to kill today

Im gonna try heat. In peak summer my garage can easily get to 120 at the heat of the day. Worms seemed to have survived that last year. I’m gonna figure out a way to maybe further insulate a wooden box and increase heat for a good kiln

Hey guys. Over the last few days I've been finding wood worms around my wood. I only know of one piece that had them and its been in the shop for two years. I recently cut it up to get some good guitar top sizes and since then I've found worms. Went through all of my wood this morning, found...

Bruce, forever to the rescue, Thanks man

Does this go for Nitro spray cans? I don't have dedicated space besides what I've described in my comments

Alright so to try and clarfy a little better. My current set up is a about a 6x6x8 foot PVC frame with cross supports. Its surrounded on all but one side with 5mm plastic and doubled up. The seams are sealed with some good tape I have, not duct tape something like siding but im not completely...

Hey everyone, just wondering what the minimum requirements or gear I need for spraying nitro lacquer out of a can. Seems it might be cheaper ultimately and give me access to mixing colors and developing my own. At this point, space may be an issue. I've maxed out my garage so I'm not sure if I...

Very very true.

40 basses crosses the threshold of "too many" and becomes a wonderful collection with potential museum ascetics. Instead of thinning the heard. Consider maybe finding a local school you can lend some to, or a local music camp for the summer. Plenty of things to do with unused instruments that...

Yea I’m realizing that slowly. I’m building up a list of correlated parts to eventually publish something usable for the internet. Hopefully that helps everyone

Hey guys, anyone have any info on various dephts for Jazzmaster cavities? can;t find solid info. Sort of looking for both vintage and modern specs unless they're the same.

Two thoughts on this: Pretty sure you have to go with expectations. All fretted instruments (and fretless) should arrive completely assembled, and preferably set up properly, regardless of changes due to climate and shipping. The effort should just be clear even if you need a little adjusting...

Does anybody know where to find a Fender Bass VI template or CAD files? Only need 2d files to make my own templates

I am currently spraying Oxford for the first time. Better colors by miles. Better sprays. So far much better drying times. Also, its one of those companies with unbelievably good customer service. Could not agree more with you on that paint man. The Candy Apple Red is blowing my mind right now
