@boo Ive got some pots lying around from when I used to be interested in electronics. Was going to have a clear out one day so if you know the value, probably 250 or 500k ohms logarithmic or linear, I’ve… Read more»

@mattbeels @boo Electronics buffs in the UK use the term “ground” it’s recognised fairly world wide. Professional stage sound equipment has a ground lift switch to counter the effect of so many bits of mains kit plugged in each with… Read more»

@boo Thanks for the tips on Aquacoat. I bought some but haven’t tried it yet, so I’ve got a clue about how to work with it now. If you bought it from Tonetech you could ask them for a trade… Read more»

No, it’s just a paint ratio mixing stick.
@boo
and I learned something about paint ratio mixing sticks! 🤪 -

@boo
Looks super cool!
Is that a viscosity guage or whatever it might be called? -
mattbeels replied to the topic "Jazz Bass Paint Job (Chameleon)" – 5 years, 1 month ago
I might just buy a new bass. 🤣🤣🤣
@boo
Just so long as it has a chameleon paint job 😉 -

@boo
Yes, sorry. You guys say earth, right? -

I might just order a premade replacement, already soldered.
@boo
Yeah, that’s one way of not improving your soldering skills. Why not just order a pre made neck to go with it? 🤔

@boo
Get something like this and solder a wire to it and heatshrink the connection. Then screw it into the (already shielded) cavity, cover that connection with shielding paint and solder the wire to ground, easy peesy.

@boo Pushing it back in rarely (if ever) works, it’s definitely time for a new pot. You can’t get away without soldering anyway as those pickups have to come out and go back in. (Or new ones, better) You can snip… Read more»

@boo I never had a problem with it not sticking, the ‘hardest’ part is the long drying time and getting enough coats for good continuity. I prefer to screw a (pre-wired) metal tab in the cavity and slather the paint… Read more»

Have you tried just pushing it back in @boo? @russ Of course. 😁 It will stay in there but it just keeps turning and turning, not doing anything useful. It doesn’t stop the guitar from working, it’s just annoying. I… Read more»

@boo Gotcha. It can be done either way and putting clear over it isn’t a problem. I’ve put it on several guitars that were already finished and it cleans up easily with a damp rag when it’s wet. I’ve missed… Read more»

shouldn’t matter too much about the hinge because the front of the headstock will be stuck to the bottom board of the jig with double sided tape and a clamp will be applied to the back of the neck. @boo… Read more»

But don’t worry, you’re not alone! @boo likes that song too, maybe it’s a Lancashire thing? 🤷🏼♂️
@mattbeels I may or may not like that song but I couldn’t possibly comments. 😉
