unusual way of potting pickups

[kevinT]

Is this like the Jiffy Lube of wax potting pickups. Send your guitar in, wax pot while the pickups are still in the guitar, and then send it back out to the customer.

Sure glad I don't have any of those "Bartonellis" (sic), or I'd be out of luck.

Geez, i always thought bartonelli was that disease you got from cat scratches....

It looks like a guitar threw up a couple of pickups after a long night. So if the wires are not long enough he would ... use a brush?

I have done that with some pickups on an ES 345 but without resting the guitar on the wax pot. Sometimes you have do do things like that if you get a call-out to a gig where you only have an hour before the gig starts.
I wouldn't recommend it as best practise though.

Somebody probably snitched and he became aware of the thread...maybe he was embarrased and took it down......a lot of snitches and trolls around these parts lately.

Potting?

Personally, get potted is better than potting pickups.

Belgian ales are nice start.

Actually, I just found out that Bartonellis are the pickup model that Eddie Van Halen's ex-wife started when she was out of the acting biz for a little while with little Wolfgang. Sort of a cottage industry to fill in the quiet moments.

Are you sure those weren't the Barilla pickups wound with spagetti?

I have the one with the noodle wrap and man it is spicy!!!
