    This video is already the best thing I've stumbled on this year. I've got a Gibson LP laying around all stripped for 2+ years. After 2 failed soldering attempts I just gave up. This video forces me to give it another go. The curse is broken

    I was saving every wiring and soldering video I could find before attempting this on my bass. I stopped watching videos after seeing this. It’s exactly what I needed and explained very clearly. This is the only video I’m saving for my bass maintenance playlist. Thanks

    Awesome, thank you.

    Forgot to leave a comment. I followed this exactly for my P/J bass (not too different) and it turned out amazing. I can't believe I managed this on my first soldering project. Great teaching and insight. Thank you!

      this is exactly why i watched this video, and I also knew this would work for my PJ. I mean this is definitely the best quality video out there, but I also want to ask either you or six string supplies if the no loads potentiometer's capacitor is wired in the same fashion as in the video.

    Excellent Video. I've been saying SOL-DER since my dad taught me how to at age 10, now 70+ and still working in electronics. Broadcast engineer for 45 + years and I'm always correcting the young ones in the industry who say SOD-DER - hahaha. Your video was well planned out and I liked the fact that you could see every aspect of the project. Thank you for the time and effort you put into it. - Vince.

    To anyone doing this on an early 60s Fender bass, just be aware the body cavity route can be super narrow, and it can rub against those side grounds... ;-)

    • @neilpatrickhairless
      @neilpatrickhairless 4 місяці тому

      Yeah, I got a bass given to me that had a massive rats nets of the cheapest plastic coated wire ans it was all full of cold solder joints and general nastiness inside and I hate the pots aren't on a plate or in a straight line like this one is. It's been an absolute bear to disassemble and re-wire to the point that I am bored with working on the bass and will probably sell it when I get done rewiring it. I almost wanna say it wasn't really done correctly from the factory because whoever was tasked with wiring it gave up on trying to get it done neatly

    Amazing video and description of the process! I just followed this video, step by step (pausing as needed) , and just assembled my JB wiring kit so easily. Just curious, your linked diagram mentions not needing to run the ground from pot to pot if you're using the jazz bass metal plate, but you don't mention that in the video. Is that really the case? You also don't mention where to attach the bridge ground in the video, but it's in the diagram you linked. Regardless, THANK YOU for this video. I'm a complete newbie to soldering, but you gave so many tips it was so easy. I never could have done this without it!

    Great video. It's clear enough that I've made the leap to order a pack and do this. For the grounding wire you mentioned briefly that it could be done with the cloth wire provided in the pack. Does this have to be one continual wire like you've done here or because of the cloth you do seperate wires between each pot?

  • @Ronno4691
    @Ronno4691 3 роки тому

    Six String Supplies stuff seems to be really good quality. I stripped the electrics out of an 1990s Epiphone Les Paul and they looked very cheap and low quality compared to the rig from these guys that replaced it all.
    Also, they don't charge the earth, either (no pun intended). I shopped around and good ol' Six String Supplies offered the best quality at the best prices AND they gave me a quick call on my mobile before dispatching my '50s style wiring harness to confirm my preferences.
    How many companies do THAT!?

I'm am planning on re doing the wires exactly like your video how would you know where the black wire should go or if it matters? Thanks from Minneapolis just Subbed as well as well
