  Sadly this guitar has a non-adjustable truss rod so it would require much more work to get the action down lower. My grandfather doesn't play the guitar much, so he just wanted me to clean it up for him to make it look nice again

  it was honestly a lot weaker afterwards than it was stock. It had some nice clarity but really lacked in output. I only did this because the original pickup went dead on me and I wanted to experiment with winding my own pickup before buying a replacement.

• 
  @joewild55gaming Жыл бұрын

  I think thicker gauge copper isn’t used because the electrical resistance is lower, so in addition to already being thicker you would need more, and it would be difficult to fit around a pickup. That’s what I figure anyways.

  One concern is the lack of shielding within the cavity itself. And on the plate. Esp. In the single humbucker modes. Need shielding tape. The routing of wires can lead to noisy audio, also.

  For recording its not a problem there is simply no hum or sound of frying. Shielding is always a good idea but if it aint broke dont fix it.

  @asfodhell2 жыл бұрын

  Been using this one for about 10 months, and I really like it :) It has some flaws ; bent pots, not the best fret leveling (still good enough for a rather low action), selector's plastic tip is very very loose, tuners were pretty stiff from factory, nuit is too high (as usual, not enough to be an issue) and I had to lower the bridge saddles a fair bit (usual stuff really). It's important to really want a dark sound, as these pickups are super dark. I like to dig deep into technical stuff, going as far as making my own micro-headless-bass, fixing super cheap used instruments and so on ... But I never felt the need to go past the pickguard removal on that bass (almost necessary to remove the strings for that). Thank you for this video 😉👍

  How do you get the supply coil to unravel smoothly? I can’t keep the wire from rubbing on the circular bobbin edges, risking breakage.

• 
  @TheGearGarage2 жыл бұрын

  I did experience some issues with the edge of the bobbin catching and cutting the wire, so I sanded it down to get rid of the plastic line from the mold, which helped a little bit. I think the trick is to just make sure the wire is always going at an angle inwards off the bobbin towards your coil, since an outward angle will cause much more friction. To let the bobbin spin freely, I just had a piece of 2x4 with a hole drilled into it for a pencil for the bobbin to sit on, which allowed it to spin freely and reduce the amount of friction. This footage is also sped up a bit, so the winding did go much slower than it may appear on camera.

  Hey man! Great Video. Such insight is really helpful. I could not quite get a grip on how huge the Pickup routing is. Do you think it is too large for the Bass to look clean with the pickguard off?

• 
  @TheGearGarage3 жыл бұрын

  I couldn't get the pickguard off completely, but it didn't look like the pickup routing was the exact shape of the pickups, more of an oval shape, so it might need pickup rings if you want it to look as clean as possible

  Great video. It seems that these guitars will get more value with time like vintage japanese Fender clones. They're still with a great price. What makes these guitars interesting is the mix of "vibes" of different guitars: semi-hollow body, P90 pickups, Telecaster body with a typical vintage Telecaster neck shape.

  Had one of these for couple of years now and have considered changing pickups. However, I quite like the stock ones it comes with and not sure it's worth doing unless I went with something like Seymour Duncan. I tend to use cheaper pickups like Wilkinson or Iron Gear

•

  I've heard really good things about Iron gear pickups, although in my opinion if you're gonna replace the pickups you should probably also go and change the pots to 500k pots since the 250k pots are gonna make any p90s sound way too muddy

  @@BogoEN The pickup honestly isn't too microphonic, part of which i would contribute to the bass having very muddy pots, cutting most of the high frequencies. As for the overall tone, I'd say it has a lower output but much more clarity than the stock pickup. I actually decided to convert this bass to a 4 string baritone guitar and the pickup works amazing for that purpose
