Members Super_Donut_Man Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Bad? Alright? 2 pole pieces have rusted, although I don't think its all the way through, on my jazz. I still have not been able to set aside time to wire up my bass (I have had 0 time as of late.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear you got alot of iron in your diet. Kinda odd though, because I live inland, and my barometer in my nose (i.e. spontaneous nose bleeds) says that its been consistently dry I believe I should be fine.

Members Bryan316 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Steel wool it off. Then, clear nail polish or clearcoat paint and a Q-tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members solderjunkie Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can you paint pole pieces with no ill effect??? (sorry for the derail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can you paint pole pieces with no ill effect???(sorry for the derail) Yes, think of the pup makers who encase them in carved wood, that's much thicker than paint. Others encase them fully in plastic, again, thicker than paint. I'd say you'd be fine. I've done it, couldn't hear a diff after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Paint has no effect on the magnetic fields of the magnet. Nor does plastic. Nor does wood. My adv. electronics class was awesome. I brought in some totally crap pickups for the perfesser to go crazy with. He had an O-scope hooked up in seconds! I think he loved doing this experiment. We put business cards, shoelaces, a Bic lighter, and I think a girl's compact, into the field, with no effects. But put tin foil and stainless steel, a little effect. And putting a steel nail, HUGE effects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Is that chrome plated to a metal surface? Or plated to a plastic cover? Cuz chrome is STILL a metal.... I would absolutely expect a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think chrome is non-ferrous, isn't it? Would that make a difference? I would guess that pickup covers are made of either aluminum or non-ferrous stainless steel... correct? Neither of these would affect an electromagnetic field (at least very minimally).

Not aluminum and doubtful they are SS, don't look or feel right. I'm sure there is a spec somewhere on SD, Gibson, someones website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pickups are entirely enclosed inside a copper foil for shielding effects. There aren't many materials you couldn't use as a cover if you wanted.
