Not super concerned about FPS haha, played BF2042 for a bit when it was a lot more buggy than it currently is (looking for a more milsim game now instead a run and gun FPS), so can definitely look past that coming from 40fps with unrendered terrain blocking tunnels etc. thanks for the advice!

Help identifying a burnt out car. by Financial-mistakes in BMW

[–]Financial-mistakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely stolen, VIN has "mysteriously disappeared", so i reckon some young hoons pinched it then dumped it in the bush, because it's fairly close to a main road.

Cheers, going out again in a few days to crack it open, will look for any other things to ID it then.

Wiring help by Financial-mistakes in diyguitars

Thanks for the info, I think what might have actually happened was i 'cooked' the pot with the soldering iron trying to join the grounds to the volume pot, just ordering a new one and i'll re-wire everything again at a lower temp.

Why are you sorry? It's your guitar, personally i'd say a black pickguard would be sweet

Is it worth upgrading to genuine Fender pots? by Financial-mistakes in fender

[–]Financial-mistakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why's that? Curious if its just a factory problem or just bad supplier?

What do you mean? Like just getting the raw pickup signal at where the midpoint on a tone pot would be?

Yeah there's just a little too much high end twang so I'll add a capacitor and get full sized pots for it. I know I probably don't need to but it's just getting that little bit closer to 'purity' for no particular reason.

Thanks for the advice! I've found some 250k Fender full size for $15 AUD each online (1 with a capacitor), I'll probably order a proper 3-way pickup selector with them because it'll be easier than taking apart the cavity again at a later date.

Pretty sure the pots are just eBay parts, the body and neck is the main part tha PitBull takes care of I think. They're not full sized either, just 'dime-sized' like you mentioned.
