    I know what you mean. I built the wiring harness, for a lipstick tube pickup bass and it was a bear. I am in the process of a refinish and have been toying with the idea of doing the humbucking mod...but it would involve using a heat gun to disassemble the pickup...and it seems like more trouble than it's worth. It's only really a problem if you have a bad buzz. And, of course, it's never a problem when the bass is hanging on the wall ;-)

    Aaaaaand.....distortion fixes everything

    In the process of ripping off the basic design of the mojotone tensioner. Winding those first two pups has been good experience but I'm still not happy with the way the flat work on the top flexes up so I'm going to make more pups with probably iron bark or spotted gum instead of the maple.still not sure what specs I'll use for the 44 AGW experiment.
