    Here is a good tip. When soldering any pot, turn the potentiometer's shaft all the way to the OFF position (fully CW or CCW). By doing so before soldering you protect the fragile carbon resistor strip from damage from high heat/over-heating. If by chance there is damage it will be at the extreme travel of the wiper-arm/carbon strip. Basically, if it gets damaged better to have the damage occur at the extreme ends instead of in the middle of the operational area.

    Just saved me $80 on my Ibanez SDGR bass. Plus however much it would’ve cost me to do any other time I needed this one wire resoldered. A like and a sub was a negligible price to pay.

    I've soldered, many times. Installed a bunch of pickups. However, I didn't realize quite how terrible/half assed my approach was. That is, until I stumbled on this gem of a video. Thanks dude. Much appreciated 🤌🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻

    This is such a great instructional for soldering. Between the closeups and detailed instruction (that’s lacking in every other instructional I’ve seen), this is, by far, the best.

    Isopropyl alcohol also assists at the end to remove any residual flux and leave a shiny solder finish result. Thanks again for your video

    I really wish this video had been available all the times I soldered new pickups in. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The only consistent thing about my soldering work was the white-hot rage I was filled with by the end.

    One additional "trick": when soldering the ground to pots take care to keep the solder blob away from interesting lettering, you might want to be able to read the value easily later when repairing it...
