My favourite song today, well it's acually two songs, by my all time favourite Dutch band Alquin. With a really great bass solo in the first song.

This song is as relevant today as it was when it was written. ✊ Unions (I don’t mean the British union) Great song by the Strawbs ✊

@rathius Yeh bud, great for cavity covers etc.

Same here, I look for LOG or AUDIO when buying pots, not A or B.

According to the book, C is usually code for reverse LOG pots.

@tv101 Pickup wiring colour codes?? You're onto something there, there is a need for a definitive list of pickup colours and obviously it'll have to include random unbranded items from ebay left ov...

@robin we won't hold it against you lol

@swepri me three but they've always been A for audio and B for linear. No idea where anyone buys the back to front crazy pots lol
