AndyTravis Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 Yeah, unbelievable...just affixed the neck permanently after a bit of a battle with the neck pocket. and I’ve come to wire it all together and lots of life in the Duncan Pickups...not much from the mudbucker... I’ve missed the notch in the wire - must’ve caught it while checking the size for the routing. so I’ll have to cut the wire, splice and solder and re-fit. If i’d not packed up my workbench and sent to the tip with the impending move. This wouldn’t have happened. a bit of a pain. But lesson learned. got to wait for Hipshot Ultralights to arrive on Monday. then rehearsal on Monday night...hopefully Quote

AndyTravis Posted April 28, 2019 Author Posted April 28, 2019 Nowt much to report, just sorted the mudbucker I’d cocked up while the Mrs was getting ready to go out. spliced the wire, re-soldered and heat shrunk. Quick test. All good. think I’ll get it to rehearsal tomorrow as long as the postie gets me my machine heads. 1 Quote

AndyTravis Posted April 29, 2019 Author Posted April 29, 2019 Right after a traffic jam and two very upset little travs needing sorting for bed, I’ve no time tonight...missed my own deadline. got two new drummers coming down tonight and I won’t have time to finesse things before I have to pick up the guitarist (his car is currently being sold for scrap as the engine is gone and it’s worth less than a new engine...he plays a £4000 Les Paul and a £2000 tele through a £1500 amp...but has a £400 car 🤷🏻♂️) so. attitude and orange 414 as per. Not exactly a hardship. Quote

AndyTravis Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 Well I won’t get the chance to do much with it tonight. Iris is restless/fed up so it’ll have to wait as the sound of a bass isn’t what she wants...I can just tell. Quote
AndyTravis Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 Sounds brilliant. Just need to take a bit of relief out of the neck, the action is fairly normal, but I want it a bit lower. Think the attitude is at risk 😧 1 Quote
