Hello, I've set it up and it sounds great, but I have a problem, when you activate it, the damn "pop" sounds, is there any way to correct that? Thank you

Brilliant that Rob. I'm just having a bash at getting and old MiJ EB0 copy bass up and running. Might have to make a mini sidewinder if it's possible, as the pickup cavity is quite small. I think it housed a guitar pickup rather than a bass pup.

@@RobMods Im thinking Rob, could I somehow scratch build one from a set of pbass pu's, file the plastic into shape, set them side by side as a sidewider has them, fit a bar and screws , see it it makes a sound lol. It'd be interesting to see if It'd work. Don't get me wrong I could hack some wood away and fit in some cheap artec one but I'd like to keep as much of the bass intact.

I did this with a Strat style project axe recently. I went around to car wrap shops asking for a 12X12 piece of scrap in carbon fiber and was told that that was yesterday’s news. What I got for just a few bucks was a piece of Forged carbon, with removable cover that you peel off afterwards, and pressure sensitive adhesive. Simply cut, peel & stick, rub smooth, trim with an exacting blade, and that’s it. If you’ve never seen forged carbon, you gotta check it out. The finished looks black and metallic but it’s also prismatic. It reflects the color spectrum under the lights.

Yes here in Australia the value of these instruments is going up. They do need a lot of love usually though if you want a reliable solid axe. A good fun challenge as a project guitar though.

Hey Rob great video as always! But I have a question, why are you using titebond when installing frets? I thought CA glue is more common option for that
@RobMods
@RobMods 20 күн бұрын
Thin (wicking) CA is good when the frets are already installed or if you have a loose one that needs stabilising. If you have the frets out, a thick glue like titebond (animal glues are also common) is great because it fills all the voids around the tang, seals the endgrain of slot sides, and also releases gracefully with heat for future refrets. Wicking thin CA under frets is faster though, if you are in a rush. OTOH removing frets glued with CA is not much fun. Surprised you say CA is more common TBH. We used titebond at Maton, and most luthiers I know use it or similar.

Can anyone help me with some troubleshooting, i've made this as an onboard for my Pbass, following the diagrams its all correct, i've put the P pickup wire directly into the pull pot where it would feed from the blend pot. Im just getting a really quiet kinda distorted farty sound through the bass now, any ideas what might be the issue, could it be the caps?

@miketaylor803 Ай бұрын
look up the dan armstrong strat mod - you can generate the N+M in series and B+M in series using a blender pot as well as parallel out of phase N+M and B+M - the best part being you can reuse the tone pot and you can have some variability rather than all or nothing (as when you have a switch) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooipYn9tfKeMnLc

I really like the option of getting maximum top end out of basses & guitars (you can always take it away later) and find less pot load make a noticable differece. A favortie mod I do for Les Pauls is split coils, flip one magnet & wire that PUP out-of-phase, single tone control and a bass cut tone, plus what we call "Blast Thru" from a pull switch on one of the tone controls, which gets rid of everything except the PUPs and selector switch. The Blast Thrut adds a sublte high top end that can be really nice with cleaner tone and gentle chord pick raking or funky stuff. I have a 74 Fender P bass that I installed an additional bridge P pickup into about 45 years ago. . . so it has 2 x orignal era P-Pickups. In a perfect world my P-Bass would be: - No load volume pots on both PUPs for max top end (Love this idea). - Switch to make PUPs go in Series (pull on Neck Volume) which is an amazing sound IMO (I have done this to every passive J Bass I own). - Tone hi-cut (normal) and also a low-cut (bass dump). .hopefully when you pull the tone pot switch it becomes a Bass Dump control. . . . all be done without more than the 3 controls (like a J). Can it be done? This is going to make my head hurt. Am I crazy?

Depends how particular you are in your setup. It’s better long term to learn how to make and maintain these things if you’re after particular slot heights with certain gauges. Everyone’s methods are different and nothing is standardised in this industry. You’re on your own if you’re particular because even if your tolerances are specific, the way you measure them will vary too. Can’t expect someone else to measure and set these things exactly the way you would and god help you if you’re caught with an issue with no one around to take it to

Wanted to thank you, I saw this a coupe years ago and saved it. This past year, I sold a 2014 Dave Murray signature strat that was like new. When I opened the case to clean it I voticed a tiny chip. I was pissed and ready to let the buyer know but I thought, screw it I'm trying this. I had already purchased the 480 and had it on hand. I tried it, and Success! No way to tell the difference. It polished up nicely. Thanks!!!!

@robmods How would you wire a JB with the coils in series and still retain hum-canceling properties of the counterwound & opposite-polarity pair of pickups? Series coils boosts low-end so well, sounds much better to me. But I want to still be able to change the blend between neck and bridge pickups and vary overall volume - while retaining the best hum cancellation I can.
