Members mlwarriner Posted February 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 actually... when i physically installed the pickups into the bass, i ran the screws down a long ways, to hold the pickups close to the body. in hopes of avoiding damage to the pickups while i was turning and sliding the bass body around and over and such to get the soldering done. and then i never raised them back up. raised the pups up to a reasonable distance from the strings, and voila. the bass works fine. :imadumbass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will usually be as simple as I'll work on something like an amp for a few hours, and then put it all back together, plug it in, turn on the power, and woder why the sound isn't working. Then I realize I didn't plug the speaker back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mlwarriner Posted February 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 still missing knobs. may or may not ever get any put on. takeout has a chickenhead that might land on there. pondering replacing a tuner or two with different colored ones. if i could somehow score a couple of different-colored bridges, i'd swap out saddles too.
