For sure, everytime I get a parcel in the post it's like it's Christmas all over again, I'm sure you'll agree, for me the best part of getting a parcel is the moment before you start opening it, that feeling of excitement and anticipation, then you get the feeling of joy when you find out it's something you've been patiently waiting for, I'm usually like a kid in a candy store when it comes to parcels.


Update:


Have just checked my mailbox and there was a parcel card in it for the parcel containing my new Entwistle Zebra HDN pickups, as it's only 2:34pm I'll need to wait till about 4:45pm so I'll be able to pick them up from the Winnellie Post Office this afternoon, I've got a few other things coming in the post, one of them has supposed to have been delivered to the Winnellie Post Office but I am yet to receive a parcel card for it, oh well, a few more days of waiting won't hurt me.



Update:


I have just found out that Real Tone Music stock Bourns Pots with Brass Splined Shafts, at Au$28.00 each they're a bit expensive but they are just too tempting to pass-up, so, I might just buy maybe 4 and if I'm lucky I could be eligible for Realtone's express post, and therefore may get them sooner than if I bought something equivalent from Stewmac, here's a pic of what the Bourns Pots look like, they look pretty rugged:


Note: The pictured Bourns pot is a 500K Audio Taper type with a Brass Splined shaft.





They also stock these 22n (.022uF) Black Candy 630V Paper In Oil Capacitors:

Update:

My new Entwistle Zebra HDN pickups have finally arrived home from the post office, I've checked to see if they will fit my guitar and it looks like they will just drop right into the the guitar with virtually no issues, even the wires on the new pickups look long enough to reach the pickup selector switch so I'm happy with them.


Here's a pic of the two new HDN pickups:

Hi Doc & others. Just had notification on a Realparts delivery copied in below that confirms your theory about being located somewhere near Coolum Beach.
Cheers, Waz

Hi Doc, have you checked out PBG 'Upgrades' as they stock these for much less and you could buy 4 plus 0.22 caps for nearly the price of one of those brass splined pots.

Update:

I just got home from picking up a couple of parcels from the Winnellie Post Office, one of the parcels contained a replacement power supply for my Nintendo Wii U ( I bought it because the original one stopped working a few times, it had also had one of the wires chewed by one of my cats), the other parcel contained a couple of new Zero Glide nuts which I had ordered for my LP Studio, I'm going to put the spare one on the Angus SG once I've installed one on the LP, here's a pic of the Zero Glide nuts:

Ah, zero glide nuts. I'm interested to see how these turn out.

I'll make sure I do a good review for all the forum members cause I think these new Zero Glide nuts are going to revolutionize putting nuts on guitar necks, might start a new thread about them, I'm going to order a couple of Strat Zero Glide frets for my soon to be ordered STA-1M kit, stay tuned mate.

Update:

Just encountered a classic example of Murphy's Law,I was just in the process of taking the strings off my LP Studio, so I could install one of the Zero Glide nuts on it, when the high E-String broke as I was loosening it, the strings I had on my LP Studio happened to be the only set of strings I had, what's worse is I have no money to buy any more sets of strings so I'll have to wait till next Tuesday so I can afford to buy some in order to be able to record any demos, I'd use some colourful language now but as this forum is supposed to be family friendly, I'll have to restrain myself.


I'm just in the process of filing down the width of the Zero Glide nut so that it will fit the nut-trench on my LP Studio, I need to take off about 1mm, but it needs to come off the back of the nut material only, not the front, as per the instructions, incidentally, I'm using a file rather than sandpaper, as I'm filing the nut it seems to smell like the nut material is made of bone or some synthetic bone material, maybe even synthetic ivory.
