OK, so I've got a Gibson 498T Bridge pickup installing in my Les Paul copy. Some times it works fine, great sounding (If at sometimes a little harsh - yes, I want a burstbucker!) pickup, sometimes it just completely cuts out. It slowly then crackles back to life as I play. It's really odd. I've triple checked all wiring, pots and switches and there is no problems with any of them. I've taken the pickup apart and it reads a solid 14 ohms on my meter but then suddenly just cuts out.. Has anyone...

Very good sounding preamp for bass! Maby with guitar too.

I have this guitar ...got it in poor condition......planing to find good repair man.......herre are the pictures

it camed from Novi Sad, and it have around 90 - 100 years

cheers

P.S.
somebody can tell me more? :thumbsup

Greetings folks.

Does anybody have schematics or information regarding the preamps used inside some Ibanez basses?

I recently got the chance to play one bass equipped with the PHAT Eq and I liked it enough to be curious about it. The circuit is surface mount assembled and is attached to the control potentiometer by the latter's lugs.

Thanks in advance.

i used to have one of these cool guitars until an ex roommate stole it for dope. well- you live you learn.

anyway, apparently Bobby Moog designed the board. it was a pretty cool active setup, i remember the board being absolutely huge. it looked like something out of a bad scifi movie.
might make a cool stompbox though!

friend of mine have one, need schematic for wiring, or gut shots...

thanks

Hey there guys,

Last weekend i took the super distortion out of my Warmoth Super strat, and put a Seymour JB in.

The neck and middle pickups are both Dimarzio HS-3's, with the inner coils wired together, so no coil tapping is possible or anything.

I think it must of been the different wiring which has coursed it, but now when i used position 4 on the selector switch, the bridge and middle pickups are now out of phase.

I just want to check before i do it (I cant do it untill i go home on...

I made this guitar back in 1999 (summer)
it is completely handmade, and not finished yet....

but just want to show it to you all......... :thumbsup

wood is ORAH (Serbian language)...it was cutted and left 10years to dry.....then I got it :twisted:

Hi there, here is a guts of MEC onboard preamp:

any wiring schematic?

Hi all,

i play a Fender Strat Standart with 3 knobs (volume,tone,tone) and i want to add a switch replacement of one the tone knobs that makes the mids higher and bright my sound.

i think about building a small pcb and using a 2 way switch. i am new at these works.
is there a circuit for this or anybody can help me?

thnx....

Could anyone help me with a schematic for a buffer and treble bleed in a guitar? I'm intrigued by the idea of having a buffer at the beginning of your chain (i.e. guitar) as suggested by R.G. I'd also like to experiment with a (very slight) treble bleed to ground - maybe only about as much as you would get just by having a tone pot since this guitar only has a volume knob.

Thanks!

Two days ago I went over to a friend to help him upgrade the pickups of his Highway 1 Telecaster to Custom Shop Nocaster pickups. I didn't quite look up any wiring schemes, so was kind of surprised to find that the Nocaster set included a wiring scheme that differs from the standard Telecaster controls:

What is the tone control on a normal Tele, functions as a blend control to add the neck pickup.

The reason for this seems to be historically related to the development of the amplifiers:...

Dose anyone know the value of the inductor used in this mod? I think I remember reading somewhere that it is 1.5 henrys but I'm not sure.

Gibson's self-tuning, self intonating, Robot Guitar

The Fender Gold and Platinum Acoustasonic Guitar Cables uses 4-Way Differential Cable Architecture to present the best possible balance between all frequency ranges, and to also preserve all the tone and nuance that acoustic-electric guitars are capable of. Optimally selected stranded conductors are used to preserve sustain and the edge and dynamics that are so important in guitar sound, while two different gauge solid conductors augment the midrange & bass to provide a much fuller sound....

Hi,
Did you ever heard about the Black Ice overdrive ? It's a StewMac product, claimed to add a bluesy crunch to any passive guitar, by replacing the tone cap by a small black cube-shaped device.
This thing is known to be a simple diode clipper to ground, using low-threshold Schottky diodes for un-amplified signal.

I tried the Schottky clipper on my Epiphone SG, which has quite hot pickups. It seemed a bit harsh to my ears, losing a lot of volume. I went for assymetrical clipping with one...

Hi there, another interesting guitar wiring is a Q-filter from Bill Lawrence.
I found this info over the internet:

The Q-Filter is an LCR network - a 1 henry, low Q noisefree
inductor in series with a .02 micro farad cap in parallel
with an 8 kilo ohm resistor.

Any pictures, or schematics ?

A customer wants a P-bass pickup added to his Stingray bass. I am going to use concentric pots to maximize the control of the pickups. Will using a 25k pot instead of a 50k pot be a problem for one of the EQ controls? It would be on the bass control.

Does anyone have one? I have a friend who does guitar work but knows next to nothing about electronics and asked if I could fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys - this seems more appropriate in this section
