^ Whatever the issue, big, small... Someone has likely been there or might know - and thats 'Basschat'

I'd glue it in... if that fails it's Nail Varnish time..

Just a little tidy up rubber bung for spare no longer used control holes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285510757363 A=8.5mm

Wired...

Would like to give em a go... but £32! I'm more an Adagio or Olympia Flats Guy at £15... Bang for Buck.

Isoprope or naptha (lighter fluid) on a rag...

Could only get a 6mm Chisel, easy does it, then a little go with a Dremmel sanding drum, bit of Danish oil to seal the wood... that will do for me... String to Pole alignment is not so bad... little cavity gap top and bottom. Wre it up... string it up... oh, and fit the top Strap Button to the neck heel... 3.45Kg What do you think? #PassiveAgressive

...Red 5, Standing By...

Postman has been... again, again Olympia Flats, £15 via the 'bay - Amy and Guy, Advantage Music Pure Tone Multi Contact Jack, two spring tabs on the sleeve, two spring tabs on the tip groove for a real locked in feel - £8 via the 'bay WMGuitars.

Don't know what ya mean... 🙄 Arai - Saved by the Scratchplate Ibby - Diggin' a trench for the Maida Vale Stacked Jazz Alright... I got previous... 🤣 which is why i asked... 🤔

@Andyjr1515 Sage Advice as always... then that is what i shall try to do... I have a little hand drill whirly gig type of thing... and some time...

DiMarzio Model One turned up thanks to @mike 110 Need to enlarge the cavity 3mm - 1/8" off each wall, 2 3/4" - 70mm Wide, to a Depth of 5/8" - 16mm... 1" Chisel? Can i take a 1" x 1/8" slice or do i need to do it in 2 or 3 thinner slices? Any Tips? I think i'd be there all day with the Dremmel and sanding sleeve coming of the spindle all the bloody time... and not the drill after the Aria J to P debacle! Never used a Wood Chisel, only a knife for cutting the 'ol Cheddar or...

Take all the gubbins out and go passive, maybe with a Pup Swap... Done 4 Ibby SR's, Now doing a T'bird

Mike 110 did me good deal on a pickup... quick coms, quick post out, well packaged, PP F&F... No worries

You Sure?..

You might need to remove the bridge to show a good and the bad adjuster saddle. Ha... pics appear as i post.. Maybe a 3mm Stainless nut to catch the Ball end and anchor in the adjuster for block better?

It varies... It's one of the Coiled Curly Cables.. 🤣 3 'n 5 Sounds about right... Rt Angle one end, Straight the other is always handy... covers Body, Edge Boat Jack Strat, Recessed angle Ibanez SR..

It would be loads easier, won't scratch off... and how i would do it... cheapy Jazz front plate from AliExpress...

Would like to get this SWR WorkingMan's 12 combo up and running. Anyone with any info, circuit diags, known issues... I thin their is 2 versions over the years.. 1 before SWR were bought by Fender and 1 after... not sure what one i have, but it has the XLR on the Rear Panel, not the front. It has odd Modem-esq connectors between boards... removed em and can't remember (but have had an educated guess in joining the sections of board... Pre, Power, Output Connectors, PSU. Pics in the NAD post... It' been sat in the front room for about 10 months, shameful 😞

I recon its a cĺear plate...

@SkyboneI'm a BIG Hawkwind Fan 😉

Might consider a wooden plate, maybe with the Thunderbird logo engraved and/or burnt in... or a nice bit of Suede... i'll keep an eye out in charity shops 😉 Lot of faff... might just go for a little sticker or decal. Currently undergoing a Route Mod for a pickup swap...

Project: Passive-Agressive Modding Blah Blah...

@binky_bass saw a T'Bird in CackConverters, and posted a thread... I had a hearty Spag Bol, Garlic Flat Bread, and half a bottle of cheap Malbec, so was a bit vulnerable... Next thing i know Russian Activists hacked my brain via Stolichnaya Vodka, they no longer need mobile phones and computer viruses, they can attack at the Alcohol/Molecular Level... who knew?... so be careful. T P-Bird Pro, Thru Neck, Improved Bridge, Active Model in Natural Finish... But, the Pickups in the Active Model are Low-Alcohol, Half-Fat models at 7k rather than a Proper-Pint, Double-Cream 14k versions of the passive model. Oh What to do?.. a quick search of the classifieds turned up @mike 110 and a DiMarzio Model 1... A 'Match' made by the Hard-of-Hearing! So going Single Mudbucker at the Neck/Mid Position, Empty Cavity at the Bridge, A500k Vol, and Pure Tone Jack Socket and will be wearing Olympia Stainless Steel Flatwounds. Cavity is 92mm, Pup 90mm so reasonable fit, maybe a shim of veneer?, Width is gonna need a 4mm chiselin' a side to go from 40mm to 48 for the coils, String / Pole spacing is a little tight at 48mm, 52mm would be Bang-On for the Neck/Mid position, 'spose they are meant for a more up against the fretboard fitting. Might need some wood blocks glued in for the pickup mounting screws. Putting the Thunder back in Thunderbird...
