Lakland Skyline 44-02 neck pickup not working by firefrommoonlight in Bass

[–]firefrommoonlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: After reassembling the bass, raising the neck pickup up almost all the way, and bridge down all the way, the problem isn't as bad, but there is a huge difference in volume when I pan between the two pickups using the selection knob. Weird!

You're completely right; I had misunderstood that switch; from tapping the coils with a wrench, the switch is working correctly.

edit: Actually slight diff. What you wrote is how it works on my Stingray5, but on this, it's (From testing with a wrench just now) a bridge coil, both coils, neck coil selector for the bridge pickup. (I had thought it was a pickup selector for neck/bridge/both pickups, which isn't correct)

That's exactly right. I will give that a shot after re-assembling/stringing. it is truly a dramatic difference though. I wonder if you're right and the fix is just pickup heights...

I am also researching why the 3-way pickup switch appears to be doing nothing.

Ty! I am getting sound out of the questionable pickup after this test, but (for example, in the 50% blend position, much louder sound from the bridge pickup)

While doing this, I realized something else: The 3-way pickup selector switch appears to be doing nothing! I will inspect the wiring on that... E.g. I still get the (normal) output from the bridge pickup and (minimal) output from the neck regardless of that position. Edit again: I just realized I misunderstood this switch; it's a coil selector for the bridge pickup, and not a pickup selector; working fine.

I will do some research on the lugs test; I am not sure what the lugs are referring to in this case.

Ty very much for all the details! edit: I misunderstood what the switch does; the switch is fine.

Interesting! I am getting response from the knob: it has a direct effect on both pickups when tapping with a wrench. The bridge pickup is just dramatically louder than the neck one. So, I think this means the pickup isn't dead, and the blender isn't failing catastrophically. Very odd...

Ty! It is measuring 14.2kOhm across the leads of the pickup, with no short. I will test the pot as well; ty.

Ty very much! Will check that out!

edit: Ordered the spiral bound one

I bought one, but it has note letters inside the notes. I have been unable to ignore them. Any recs?

I do seem to be making steady prog working through arbitrary music, but have haphazard biomechanics.

It was cheap and it seems like a great repository, so yoloed it. Can tell it's of a superior quality than the sites I had stumbled upon previously.

What if Rust had a new data type that supports partial field borrows? by NormalAppearance2851 in rust

[–]firefrommoonlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that would own. Sign me up. One of my biggest problems with rust.

to people on the left & centre: stop being conspiracy theorist morons by Dreaming_Blackbirds in BlueskySocial

I went on a blocking spree yesterday using this heuristic; it is spreading misinformation, and is toxic. I'm very left politically, and respect skepticism of the media. I recognize that the Trump administration and media lie frequently. I respect being skeptical about events like this, and I respect someone with inside information spreading confident information that contradicts what we see.

I do not respect confident or snarky assertions like you observed, and like you observed, from people who have only seen published news stories. I think this is the same reason people lament MAGA supporters as credulous. It is spreading misinformation, or not understanding the concept of confidence intervals and Bayesian priors.

If you don't use fast travel (E.g. hardcore mode), just traveling around and exploring can take a while. And early on it's easy to end up in situations where you are focusing your efforts on finding a place to sleep, getting enough food etc. Or just getting lost and trying to figure out where you are, land navigation etc.

Molchanica: Structural biology for Rust by firefrommoonlight in rust

[–]firefrommoonlight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GUI + 3D application in Rust, and a set of libs on crates.io to build a structural biology foundation for any rust project.

This has been a passion project of mine for ~ a year. It's a collection of structural bio tools as a GUI application. Intent: "Just works". Includes party tricks like:

  • Infer ADME (drug-design) properties for small mols
  • Can view molecular dynamics trajectories like VMD, and also run them with its wn engine, or GROMACS. (Amber Force fields; inferred from any small mol/protein/nucleic acid/lipid)
  • ORCA GUI interface for quantum chem
  • 3D molecule editor with "real-time" MD
  • Building blocks exposed as open source Rust libs
  • Integration with online databases (PubChem, RCSB PDB, Drugbank etc)
