FAO: Malik

Post by ElCapitan »

I heard you're awesome at schematics, any chance you could show me how to wire up my JS with just the one switch, going neck both bridge, one volume and tone? I've tried to follow MumblyJoe's but it's too confusing.
Much appreciated.

Sure, I'll do it after Doctor Who. ;)

This one features Orange Drop capacitor for increased schematic tones. Humbucking wire colouring based on a Seymour Duncan pickup, if you're rocking the stock humbucker then you needn't worry about the red and black wires there, just send the black to the switch and the white to earth.

Left pot is volume, right pot is tone. Capacitor can be whatever value you want. Again, the long horny thing on the input jack is the but connected to the long bit in the real one, the other bit is for the sleeve. Find this yourself.

The black lines on the switch represents wires you need to add. If I was you I'd get a bare piece of wire (like, take the cloth off a cloth wire if you have such a luxury) and weave it through the holes.

Yeah, I hope that works. :)

Dude, tonight I can't be bothered to THINK. Hey, who else is kind enough to actually put effort into rearranging wiring diagrams for people? Oh yeah, nobody. :)

Oh, by the way ElCapitan, don't worry if your pickups don't have awesome staggered polepieces like the ones in the diagram. Normal single coil pickups will work too.

At least you have tubes. Fag.

Please make the next project "Malik needs a valve amp". Please. I'll make you all schematics if you want. You can pick colorz.

Send it to Icey. He'll 'preciate it more.

I'm meant to be saving up for a Tiny Terror, but I keep buying other stuff. Such as one of those Alden Jazzcasters. Oops.

Idiot. You need to save up an extra £60 quid anyway to buy Cryo tubes. They are the next shortscale.org sensation.

Fuck it, any tube is a good tube for me. It beats resistors and transistors any day.

I was going to get a Big Muff too, but then I bought some Maxïmo Park tickets. Since getting a job I've never wasted so much money.

You are going to have a hard time getting an amp without resistors. Meh to Maximo Park

I always care.

Doog will check it out for sure, he's a player. I'm happy you did it, I know to buy Harmas from now on - I like the way they sound.

Nah, I don't really mind. I did it for myself as well so I could actually tell if there was a difference.

I started to listen to the clean sample one, but then I thought it was pointless since, if I'm honest, I don't have that good an ear that even if I could tell the difference it would bother me.

The dirty sample is more obvious, try that one.
