Thread: Second build! :O

  1. #211
    Wow it has almost been a month since I buffed it out. I was working on the bass and was also waiting for a hard case but thanks to Auspost that hard case is lost and I don't know where it is. I was holding out for the hard case before assembling but enough was enough so I bought a gig bag locally instead. I think I have too many hard cases anyway haha. Of course I'll be getting a refund.

    So I hereby present to you, my second build. I will take better pictures with my DSLR on a better day of course. I just spent the last 2 days trying to wire it together, only to find out the problem was with the pot, not my wiring!

    Specs:

    Hardware:
    Gotoh SG318 tuning machines
    Kluson modern string retainer
    Wilkinson 5+1 contemporary tremolo

    Electronics:
    Seymour Duncan JB (trembucker) in the bridge
    Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck
    5 way super switch wiring: 1. bridge, 2. bridge (north) + neck (south), 3. bridge + neck, 4. neck (north) + bridge (south), 5. neck
    500K audio Push pull volume pot, with a blower switch to bypass all electronics and send the bridge pickup straight to the output jack, plus treble bleed mod.
    500K audio tone pot with Fender's grease bucket tone circuit.

    Hahaha! Thanks for commenting on my pair. I built them myself!

    Thanks everyone. I'm glad this build finally finished. Will do a demo soon once I finish the bass.
