Hi... would very much make use... Do you know if it will run any Synth Apps for a MIDI Keyboard? Son has a MUDI Keyboard and looking for 'Sounds' Piano, Hammond, Synth, Moog etc rather than doing the full PC DAW thing.
-
Kent Armstrong, Tonrider... or for something maybe a little different.. Maida Vale... (on reverb) he winds stacked J so no noise, the windings can also be series or parallel as 4 wire. Uses Alnico IV slugs. @Rasleelisted a pair
-
I felt my Squier P needed something... So some John Cooper Moon Eyes... later adopted by a Japanese Trials Rider, and Tuning House and later by Japanese 125 and 250 Riders...

Just remove the tort plate... sorted!

Lots of moan on the Mk1 Barts... But remember these are a Reverse P in a soapbar housing... bound to sound different and/or underwelming when swapped for another soapbar that is a full width twin coil std humbucker... Me?.. I'd Remove the pickups and pre for a rainy day.. or sell 'em and the magic bridge... Go for a nice pair of J pups and go passive... with Artec QTP? - All Organic and Natural, but a little wider reaching. Was a pair of J Toneriders in the FS, now Sold... A pair of Entwistle ceramics?... or contact Maida Vale Pickups (I've one of his P pups in my SR300) he does a Jazz Stack, twin coil, 4 wire so you can series or parallel the individual coils in each pickup... alnico IV for string balance... got fretless all over it! I love my Passive P SR300. It's like taking of the Active Plastic Wrapping. Love the SR Worn Pebble Body and Super Sleek necks... although my latest project is a Squier P.

Same here... I think thats why i don't 'get' tort... it just looks messy to me. The difference between 1,2 and 3,4 is almost like flip flop paint. My P is Black... simple. -
Mmmm... the strings felt overly thick... dunno what make they were, or what gauge. But found an unopened set of Olympia 45-100 Nickel Rounds... Sorted!
-

P Pickup - Are These Anything Special?
PaulThePlug replied to PaulThePlug's topic in Accessories and Misc
How do you rate them? I've put the pup 'n loom up in the FS section. -
Great these kinda things are out there...

Switch Craft are known for quality, but this is a Game Changer... 2 spring contacts for the tip and 2 spring contacts for the sleeve. https://puretonetechnologies.com/products/pure-tone-multi-contact-1-4-output-jack Real positive feel... memories of Lemo... Amazon and the 'Bay...

Rummage thru the odds 'n sods uncovered a few sets of pre-used strings... was looking for Rounds for this... every set except one were cut 2+2 ala Ibby SR... So strung up with the only set of 4 In-Line strings i could find, which happen to be Rounds... and this happens!.. Core on the E had snapped at the peg, so Tuning-Up just stretched the wrap... AR$E! Now gotta sort a set of rounds... £$€ ☹ EDIT: Cut of the broken bit... and with a short bit down the hole, got a turn and a half-is around the peg.. SAVED!

Pickups In... Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Alnico V Wired Up... Alpha A250k, Artec QTP, Pure Tone Multi-Contact Jack

Hate the whole 'Hack' thing... How many times has the 'spring gone ping' and stuck to the magnet on the underside... so here is a P Bass Pickup Fitting Tip... works equally well for J and other pups... I added a foam off cut to the body, as the foam on the back of the pickups was not thick enough to hold the bobbins in the covers... the pickups were too low and the springs were also getting fully compressed... Cocktail sticks in the screw holes... Springs on... then pups over the cocktail sticks... you can get a pointy thing in there to sort the wiring run. Remove one stick at a time and replace with adjustment screw... Use a sandwich bag between screwdriver tip and screw head to protect finish. I like a fairly compressed spring as it makes the pup a stronger anchor, lightly compressed springs, and/or soft or lightly compressed foam allow a lot of movement... pushing in.
