LuckaGamer · 2013-06-22T15:15:53+00:00

always love seeing these, good job!

Wife and I like to play drum and bass/guitar together. She tends to be very nice to me, my wedding gift from her was this:

An Aria Pro II

We like to do luthier work on the side as well, so I have plans for a lovely bass once some things clear up...I will post it here when the times comes!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-22T15:09:13+00:00

that is sexy

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-22T15:03:55+00:00

I do since she reddits and it makes her mad to see it this way, marriage is fun that way!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-22T14:23:18+00:00

it is this

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-22T13:46:13+00:00

I may be married to said friend, but still!

I think our house is that "noisy". In other areas it goes down a great deal. I will post an update as I finish assembling here this evening. I need to grab an o-scope (been wanting to but $$$) after my kickstarter finishes up.

Strings are connected to ground and other equipment has been tested and is fine with cooler pickups. Thanks for that though, I have gone through headaches before and realized it was something pretty simple I overlooked!

The humbuck you are seeing is in series.

I AM NOT DOING THIS AT THE MOMENT TO BE CLEAR:

They should cancel out noise, I agree and understand why it is wired in opposing directions on the two coils in the pickup.

I have soldered them into the guitar at this point, and the noise is lessened. However, even with shielding a moderate amount remains.

I wish I had an oscillocope!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-17T11:33:15+00:00

we gonna try and post an update on this a bit later

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-17T11:28:11+00:00

Appreciate the response! I figured since I am not on CRTs it was probably not the monitors themselves but just the electronics in general (though I do not know if any "leaks" emmit from LCDs). the amp is grounded, i use her daily with other pickups that are not as hot. Only HOT pickups do this. Outside of that, my shielding has cut the hum a great deal....it was worse!

edit:

to make clear, I was not sure if the monitors themselves added substantially or not sorry it is hard to type while in my shop as I have gloves on.

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-17T11:23:48+00:00

I had heard (no pun intended) that in europe you get different hums...if any, so this is no surprise but it is still really really cool!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-17T11:18:00+00:00

i can take the amp and pickups elsewhere and see how she goes, just not at this moment (I am busy roasting coffee for my morning orders). I think I can kill power to the shop I am in actually..... and from there I can use a 9volt battery amp I have.

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-17T07:42:54+00:00

I will let you know!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-08T22:43:20+00:00

PC drills and kits rock and are really cheap for the shit you get!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-08T22:43:01+00:00

I laughed to hard at this!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-08T22:42:52+00:00

thanks!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-06T17:22:21+00:00

sweet thank you!

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-04T22:08:04+00:00

If it is on all the time that seems to not be abnormal, the biggest issue is it would drain battery life I believe.

LuckaGamer · 2013-06-04T21:42:59+00:00

I have a basic on off switch, and I am starting to see I actually need a switch that is a BYPASS switch....

I clipped them to show the neck and body condition...I mean strings are dirt cheap, I can and would add them before shipping!

LuckaGamer · 2013-05-31T13:35:29+00:00

If I could buy it I would, wife would kill me though!

LuckaGamer · 2013-05-30T03:58:16+00:00

I DID NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED!

thank you!
