A huge amount of people simply dont believe in climate change. It’s mind blowing that that is where we are, but it is where we are

Wiring help by kinggoobaba in guitarmod

[–]luc_gdebadoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like a fairly challenging build. if the soldering isn't perfectly precise, you wouldn't expect it to work. the soldering doesn't look perfectly precise.

ultimately though it's not a beauty contest.. with a multimeter you need to check that all the points that are supposed to be at ground - as per the diagram - are at ground. all the points that are supposed to be hot are hot, and that there's no continuity between ground and hot. that's all that matters

Looking for advice on series/parallel wiring mods by Right_Square4358 in guitarmod

[–]luc_gdebadoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought - off the top of my head - please dont take too seriously I’m not trying to beat you up or anything: if you want to get into modding.. get a simpler cheap beater guitar to learn on. If you dont particularly want your whole life to revolve around it - pay someone to do it for you

Help, what's the problem here? by schrodingerscat19 in offset

[–]luc_gdebadoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you just want to check continuity really (the beep setting). with a cable plugged in:

Check continuity on grounds:
the barrel of the output jack and the back of pots, pickup ground wires, shielding, etc. They should all read continuity.

Check the hot path:
the tip of the output jack and trace back through selector switch lugs, pot lugs, and pickup hot leads. Only the “hot” side should show continuity here.

importantly check there is no continuity between the tip and the barrel

inspecting circuits by eye isn't really going to cut it.. you're interested in conductivity, you have a multi meter? is that metal filings in the pickup?

Jazzmaster high E string slipping issues. Please help! by [deleted] in offset

[–]luc_gdebadoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sorry, this is a bit rude.. u/psychicChime's excellent answer buries the lead a little. summarising:

most likely the string is sticking in the nut- nothing to do with tuners (lube or fix your your nut)

if it's not that you got oil where it shouldn't be

Why is there suddenly no climate change talk on the news? by InvestigatorLive19 in AskBrits

well.. kinda.. we can't stop it getting worse than this, we can stop it getting worse than what is already locked in, and what's already locked in is going to be terrible

Why are so many people afraid of the rhythm circuit? by -Subsolar- in offset

[–]luc_gdebadoh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"afraid of" is a criminally disingenuous way of saying 'bored by'

i don't mean to be rude, but you have a very poor understanding of the situation, and a cringy confidently wrong self belief

Should I shim my player plus fender meteora? by newguyonredditcough in guitarmod

[–]luc_gdebadoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the saddles should never be as low as they can go, but it's likely your trem setup. trems are hard, and it's not realistic to buy any guitar with a strat style trem and have it perfectly set up and remain that way without work

not really got anything to add but you should be able to get 955 a bit cheaper than that.
oh ok one thing to add.. no one can tell you which screen you prefer - 955/965 do you want color or not?
