You guys enjoying the summer?

Too hot here so far as well! It was 102° yesterday, and it's 95° today, which isn't as bad. Not as hot as where Terry lives, but probably more humid.

DS since I think you are here, and handy?
I have a P/J Passive set to build.
Do you recommend 250k pots?
Also when you turn down the J Pot, I think the P would be Humbucking?
So when You turn up the J, do you lose the Hum Canceling?
Thanks,
T

YES for the hum Q, probably 500k pots though so you'd want to wind the J hot.

Everything I find shows using 250s.
The Seymour Duncan diagram showed it was 250s, and I found this fender layout.

So I guess try the 250s first.

Yeah I think in the end you'd need to try out the 500s but it would be better if the 250s do the job, it's ass about though I reckon, I would put the J in the front possy if I were doing it for myself.

Can't change that, it is already set.
The Double J setup looks best, but that would require routing.

Mojo sells the covers for that.
I guess just wire 2 Js side by side in a Bucker, and put the double cover over them.
I may have to come up with something to experiment on.
I'm Going outside till dark feeding and watering my Plants, & Wild Critters.

I like this thread, cool idea Big T.

Well it's that time of the year again. Central Brazil becomes a desert, freezing nights, drought and heat during days. Humidity reaches below 10%, sometimes into the 7% later in august - it's a desert.

A good friend of mine has a gig tonight at a rather nice bar in town. I like the fact that I no longer have a professional shop, yet friends still look for me for their important gigs. I'd pay to do this, really.

Yesterday he arrived at my place with a Blues Junior with a blown fuse. Turns out one of the original Groove Tubes EL84 was shorted - they're Sovtek's as far as I can tell. Checkup on the rest of the circuit passed, just tube replacement and bob's your uncle.

Repair notes to self: solid state reverb drivers are too hard on these reissue tweeds, past volume 3 and the springs are banging thunder. Nice sounding 12" Jensen.

Edit: oops, I just noticed I'm in the pickup winders forum! Sorry, I couldn't wind a fishing reel if I tried

Welcome:
Your not bothering a thing.
Check in anytime, and we will visit!
The purpose of the thread is to discuss whatever you want guitar, pickup related.
And, a solid body is pretty useless without an Amp!
So Jmaf, Are you finally getting caught up on the work for a while?
You were real busy earlier in the year?
Terry

[jmaf]

Thanks, Terry. Wish I had more time for our favorite stuff Glad to be back.

[Stratz]

Hey Sonny, I checked out your web site, good stuff mate.

I agree Ward, very nice work Sonny!

[big_teee]

So did anyone make anything today?
I'm rebuilding my Humbucker, with one blade and one screw bobbin.
Try to get it running tomorrow.

I've put my zebra woodys into a temp pickguard and that onto the mahogany guitar. Will try out the sound of it tomorrow, if all goes well I'll make the proper guard n post pics when it's finished. So far the pickups look great on the guitar but the temp pickguard is a mother of toilet seat and I don't want that permanently on there. Stay turned.
