@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 o...

@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 account an...

Look at the shiny shiny paint. Looking forward to seeing you paint with this @boo. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

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

@boo Yes!

@boo Looks super cool! Is that a viscosity guage or whatever it might be called?

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? Attachment : image.jpeg

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? 🤔 ὠ...

@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 ...

@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 sl...

Have you tried just pushing it back in @boo? 🤔 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@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)...

@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...

I have never seen a pot break like that. I would choose to replace it. Maybe even replace all 3 of them. Get something of better quality.

It's much more comfortable in there now. Plus I have to keep it clean and dust-free. Before there was sawdust *everywhere*. And odd bits of wood. And tools. It was a mess. This is much nicer, and ...

Well I guess we now know what yours really looks like! 👍 It's much more comfortable in there now. Plus I have to keep it clean and dust-free. Before there was sawdust *everywhere*. And odd...

Next it will be some "nice" curtains for the windows with some matching soft cushions for the chairs. Plus, you'll need some pretty lampshades in there and some rugs for the floor ... 🤣 @tv...

About 3 coats are needed apparently and 24hrs in between coats. @boo Yeah those are the drawbacks to using paint however I’m willing to bet that you could speed up the drying time with a hair dryer ...

@boo I enjoyed catching up on that thread. She’s looking curvy and smooth..lovely
