I enter a guilty plea to that charge myself .

"your mileage may vary" Think it's an American phrase .

I remember that thread well, most of the points raised were addressed. Think the only point left unanswered was " hum from solo bridge pickup", nobody had the heart to tell the poster the only way to avoid single coil hum is fit a humbucker :D

Take a piece of sand paper and rough up the area intended for the ground. This clears away any grease or coating allowing for a solder/bare metal connection.

I use the same things. Simply glue the PCB terminal to the back of the pot then solder the pins to the pot lugs. It's a task you do once which leaves you free to swap pickups and caps in/out as the mood takes you 🙂

@Geocollector I will email you with a PDF template and photos of the process. Job takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete using a couple of very basic tools.

Not as confused as I am, I have the actions reversed :II Tone 0 - 7 is humbucker, 8/9/10 is single coil. Having owned a few T-40s one would think I'd have remembered the tone pot actions. This is what happens when you clip the red wires and disable the spin a split feature :D

If that is true then somebody has altered the wiring and had a much better idea than Red Rhoads. On T-40/T-60 the change from single coil to humbucker is controlled by the tone not volume pots, humbucker mode kicks in at 7 and above. It's a pretty poor system as you have limited tone variation...

I did not plan this one, sometimes fate forces your hand 🙂 Last Friday I saw a 51/Dirt style body for sale on the Facebook marketplace. 2 messages and £45 later it was mine:great: 2 saddle bridge and through body string bushings were part of the sale so very little was needed from the spares...

I had the exact same experience :D I view Seymour Duncan as the Nescafe instant coffee of the bass pickup world ; just because it's a well known brand does not mean they are good :great:

@Shazam The original HB telecasters from 2013 to late 2017 had "tamer" pickups. Those Wilkinsons were great, to the extent fake Wilkinson pickups became a supply issue :O! The Roswell is not a bad pickup just different, I much prefer the Roswell to the , same materials yet hugely over-wound...

I was long an admirer of the 51 P-bass but never had any experience with them until a few years ago. My introduction was via the Thomann PB-50, a fine bass and a very important purchase for me. After decades on active basses the humble single coil was a breath of fresh air. More were to...

@8Miles Congratulations on your JB-40 FL, the white pearl PG is a nice addition 🙂 I've had a HB weekend myself. Saturday found me the other side of Glasgow for a JB-75 then this afternoon in Lanark for a left hand PB-50. Two great purchases for very little money. No plans for the JB-75. I...

Hi, please accept my apologises but there's something I'm not grasping here. Earlier you posted that string height at 12th fret was 2.5mm and sub-optimal. Rightly or wrongly I took this to mean too high. With a bolt-on design the easy fix would be shim the neck pocket but with set neck/neck...

I've built several basses, that is not a method I'd recommend. I would rebate the bridge into the body. Rebate is an easier, quicker and you have a better chance of a successful outcome.

I'm afraid the Rickenbacker bridges sit higher. Minimum string height with an A style bridge is 10mm from the body. It is at least 14mm on the Rickenbacker. As shimming the neck is not an option , the only solution is sink the bridge into the body.

Have the pickup rewound , no waste of raw materials.

@Lynx Krueger Moving the neck is far too much work just to accommodate a bridge 🙂 Go with the Schaller, it's a far better design 👍

The point of the graphic is to show how far forward the Ric saddles force the bridge to sit. That is what the photo shows . The pictured bass was 864mm scale length so the saddles for both bridges were placed in the correct positions . The faker bridges are 98.5mm long x 92.5mm wide...

A Rickenbacker bridge will look odd due to the scale length. Here is the standard Ric-a-like bridge fitted to a 34" scale length Harley Benton. And here we have a Ric bridge placed for 34" scale length. If it were me , I would just fit a Schaller 3D 🙂
