try the pound shops for allen keys dont use anything else...you may then get some adjustment...but only once as you chew up the hex

most advice covered above i do a bit of emery taping...at the centre of the pot...a dab of flux check the iron is up to temp by doing a little blob on the end place the iron on the flux with the multicore as well and wait....it should start to run after a bit 30w is a min i suppose to get heat 1 in sufficient quantities 2 in a small area you dont want to fry the whole pot waiting for a small area to warm up for future solder on a piece of copper wire...then you can connect and disconnect at lower temperatures easily a sort of short bus or connecting tab

play a lot and dont worry about the odd fingers unused eventually you will find they will tuck themselves in and start to stray onto the strings to do their part although i dont use the pinkie it is always there sort of caressing the same string as the third being a sort double pluck cheers

I will try next a less diluted amount of washup liquid on the remaining bits, then will mix it with vinegar if still not good enough and see how that goes.[/quote] i can understand oil painting not liking some white spirit around or linseed oil maybe its not such a good idea after all... good luck

[quote name='V4lve' post='573314' date='Aug 18 2009, 06:40 PM']Ta. Any recommendations on where to source it. Or will any one do?[/quote] some blend pots dont come with the cross wiring barts do i got mine from iceni music...mike walsh its wired for the crossover and easier to connect up... ps..i usually put the hot lead into a vol and or tone pot on pin 2...it always works and you get finer volume control do you have a solid shaft or split shaft vol pot

Working nights temporarily at the moment so my brain is a bit slower than usual, but I think I have an idea of what I'm doing Thanks for the input peeps.[/quote] those diagrams look a bit advanced for a simple jazz pair wired switched parallell/series with a simple switch the switch should be double pole on/on/on if you want pll/srs

[quote name='Moos3h' post='572279' date='Aug 17 2009, 10:38 PM']Hi all, Just wondering, I've always been very conservative when it comes to strings and almost always just grab a set of Elites Stainless. However, I see 'Low tension' bandied around - how does this work when the string is at the same pitch? Does it feel weird? Any recommended makes to try out first? Cheers, James[/quote] TI jazz rounds....tension is low they can be bent they feel really silky smooth and have high output any reasons not to use them because they buzz etc :wacko: not for those who cannot set their own bow, action, and intonation and dont want the hassle of getting it done by others
