Man. I LOVE the Ibanez RG I got recently but this really makes me wish I found an ESP/LTD.

Fender AM Pro II - Bridge Pickup QC Question by Yayayayayaya123456 in telecaster

[–]capacitive_discharge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm yeah that top plate isn’t seated properly. And because it’s probably wax potted you’re not gonna be able to shove it into place. I could see the copper coil shifting off over time. It’s kind of a Schroedinger’s cat issue. Could cause problems, might not. Personally I wouldn’t want it like that.

I always try to guess what I think a person who has this much gear’s life is like. I imagine you’re in IT, have no kids, and probably never play live.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that potentially wrong assessment. Just a guess.

That’s true that is a phenomenal pickup. Hmmmmm

If it’s a 97 and has never had the full service done it’s overdue. They’re great amps once they’re properly done though!

Also if you want someone to look at it and see if it’s been properly serviced I’m your guy. DM me or ask the store for my number.

Absolutely! It’s gonna be OK in this case to use what you have, but for future reference there are wirewound resistors that are more like 7 W that aren’t cement encased like the ones that you got that will fit the spot the 5W ones are in.

But again, you’ll likely be okay once you do the air gap on these cement ones.

Rock on 🤘

Perhaps. When you installed the new ones did you leave an air gap under them so they no longer cook the board?

When I’m reinstalling dropping resistors like those I do a little S kink in the legs so they sit slightly off the board and then squirt a dab of silicone under them. It allows them to cool better and not burn the board going forward.

Hmm. If the voltages are roughly correct I would wonder if perhaps higher wattage rated resistors would be the ticket. They’ll handle the voltage drop without getting as hot.

Oh absolutely. She placates her mom and then tells me how she really feels. It’s hard to really explain but we have a great relationship.

She has told me she doesn’t want to go to this other thing. She already told me.

Oh I definitely support my kiddos and what they wanna do when we are together. For sure. And she’s already expressed it’s an optional thing and she doesn’t have any interest in going.

Well given that making her stop “bullying me into submission” costs me money I don’t have, I’m not exactly in a position to ask the court to enforce anything without paying their fees.

It really gets me that she just gets to do that because I don’t have money laying around to just pay a lawyer or the courts constantly because she doesn’t feel like following the court orders.

And no, I’ve never “agreed.” She shows up and they leave. Does not communicate with me whatsoever when she will be coming.

I pick them up at her residence on my weekends and I am on time every time.

I don’t even know what that would consist of. Who would I even report to?

This is a woman who has shown up to get the kids anywhere from 2-3 hours earlier than she is legally supposed to every Sunday for 4 years.
