Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 23, 2007 Author Members Posted March 23, 2007 too small or too big? too big...and I don't have a drill to drill the METAL plate with...
Members oldivor Posted March 23, 2007 Members Posted March 23, 2007 too big...and I don't have a drill to drill the METAL plate with... Make a friend.
Members Crescent Seven Posted March 23, 2007 Members Posted March 23, 2007 Go buy a round file and file it bigger. My SX was the same way, the holes don't need to be that much bigger.Next, you're going to discover that they don't fit very well in the control cavity, either. You can use a dremel tool or that same file you bought to make the hole a little wider.C7

C7 Thanks C7, glad to know you aren't THAT big of a prick Oddly enough, the cavity on mine is JUST big enough, so I won't have to file it down, but I'm stuck on the pots oh well...guess it's gettin done tomorrow!
Members Super Bass Posted March 23, 2007 Members Posted March 23, 2007 if you wanna change stuff on the SX's you have to be prepared to modify it to make it fit. i think thats the best part

Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 24, 2007 Author Members Posted March 24, 2007 I've got an extra J control plate that fits standard pots sitting around if you want it. Fer free? Or for price of shipping? Or what? PM me, we'll talk. hahahaha...cuz that'd work too. Since i'm only about 4 hours, it'd be here by Wednesday at the latest for practice...
Members bpocall Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 Free as long you mail the SX plate to whoever wants it. PM me your address.

Members someotherguy Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 Free as long you mail the SX plate to whoever wants it. PM me your address. This forum is cool. That's all.
Members JacieFB Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 I was gonna say...just come over and use my drill. You guys rock.
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 24, 2007 Author Members Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks guys for the input. And for whichever mod changed my title...
Members mlwarriner Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 I've got an extra J control plate that fits standard pots sitting around if you want it. and i've been waiting how long for a compressor??? (you know i'm only kidding, right?? :D )
Members Jazz Ad Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks guys for the input. And for whichever mod changed my title... I did, because it was misleading. You don't have an issue with an SX bass or Rondo.
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 24, 2007 Author Members Posted March 24, 2007 I did, because it was misleading. You don't have an issue with an SX bass or Rondo. T'wasn't misleading! I was having an issue with a mod on my SX, which was not fully described in the title, but the title was true. Crazy frenchie takin away my freedom of speech... jk.
Members bpocall Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 and i've been waiting how long for a compressor??? (you know i'm only kidding, right?? :D ) You're totally right though. I'll get it sent on Wednesday.
Members georgestrings Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 too big...and I don't have a drill to drill the METAL plate with... That sort of thing is often part of the "modifying" process... It's no big deal, really... - georgestrings
Members james on bass Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 Just wait until you get a replacement Fender pick guard. Installing those on an SX is Dremelicious!
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 24, 2007 Author Members Posted March 24, 2007 Is this for the jazz bass? Yes it is! As a matter of fact...hahaha. I'm still debating on getting EMGs for it or not...since I don't wanna have to route for a battery box (I've seen bad things that happen when you put the battery under the control panel...mostly stripped screw holes...) but yeah. So after the rewire, if I think it needs more beef, I may get EMGs for it. But since I just bought ANOTHER $100 bass...I doubt it. Haha. But I'm seriously loving the jazz to death...
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted March 24, 2007 Author Members Posted March 24, 2007 Just wait until you get a replacement Fender pick guard. Installing those on an SX is Dremelicious! I said screw the dremel on that aspect...didn't have one...just pulled out the handy dandy exacto knife...
Members mlwarriner Posted March 24, 2007 Members Posted March 24, 2007 You're totally right though. I'll get it sent on Wednesday. and if you were to happen to *accidentally* include the GB cab with it, i certainly would be willing to forgive your tardiness :D
