Yep... Had one for about 20 yrs... Got it when i broke my wrist and dislocated my shoulder in a motorbike, (scooter!) Accident... Spin it up with the string... Then 'stir' the wrist... like stiring a cup of tea or slight 3D 'whisking' motion, like whisking eggs... close to the body... Start slow, below the gyro speed the speed up till it 'catches'... thats the tricky bit... you are trying to throw the weight to the wall of the ball... Then speed up the wrist rotation to acceletate.... You can then try with arm up or outstreatched.

Powerball Gyro...

Tried Passive (If the pickups allow...) to see if the issue is pups or pre... Never know you might like it passive? Think there was a John East in the classifieds...

^ SORTED!

^ I Like That... Maybe a 5 Way Strat Switch...

Used Vanson... via ebay for knobs etc... Friendly bloke there... drop him a line...

^ Yep... But if you have a glue gun i'd blob a bit at each end at the bottom of the ears... easier to pull off if need be... Wilkinson Alnico's? They get favourable reviews... from Wilkinson via ebay? Check listing / description... See if they can just send you some foam if thats what they are meant to come with...

Some covers have a little notch to hold the bobbin....or a dab of hot glue gun (if ya got one) to hold in place... Got a Entwistle PJ set coming, and might need to change covers due to the ears, shame as Entwistle covers are branded....

Yes and No... Some do, which is some times handy, some are glued and don't... Often Split P covers are over wide at the ears, and the pup bobbin can fit in a smaller cover... if it isn't glued in! So Foam underneath gives the pressure to keep the pup bobbin in the cover... then screws 'n springs to adjust...

Maybe the Basschat Admin could drop Rob 'Status' a line with a link showing the love for his work...
