thanks for watching and the kind words the overdrive is a Greer Lightspeed ... its a low gain pedal that is great with other pedals and is very quiet . www.towncentermusic.com/greer-amps-lightspeed-overdrive.html. the amp is an 80's Marshall solid state lead 12 which sounds a pretty good on its own

Thank you my friend !!

No, sorry... not knowing where you are ... google Scott pump and thier website should have venders listed

thank you for commenting .. so glad it worked for you ... foam is a good tip

That is very kind .. but I have moved since all those were shot as am not set up for such things anymore. I hope you find a way to experiment !! best rb

glad this helped

thank you for watching and the kind words !!

nope .. a sweated on sleeve will not come off with a puller a lot of companies have gone with gaskets/0rings or lock tight but this is an old school sweat on sleeve .. boom

@thebrainard ...I suppose the surface area being much greater than a bearing makes sense in that case. I usually use a cone heater to drop bearings on, but a puller to get them off. For sleeves, I also normally use a torch, because all ours use loctite.

1- ground wire is only a potential source of microphonics there is a path to ground for the bridge via the coil's negative/ground wire .. the screws going into the mag plate which is grounded touch the bridge plate so there is grounding .. I just like to make certain sure that I have as good a ground network as possible .. it is 'not needed' as long as the other wires are in place 2- you have not .. you do want it grounded tho 3 - the mag plate does need to be firmly attached .. but you will NEVER get rid of all of it .. there is so much metal and any vibration will be transduced by the pickup. but if you check all the boxes it will be less ... I have yet to have a switch that did not make a clunk thru the amp .. hope that helps

@@thebrainard somebody said it already, but your wisdom is appreciated... i stopped into my local guitar shop yesterday and tried a few teles they had. none had the problems mine does; i tapped on the bridge plates for all of them trying to see if i could recreate the loud knocking coming through the amp and they were all next to zero noise. i know for a fact at least some of those guitars had the style of pickups that do have the mag plate underneath the bridge pickup, so that tells me it's possible to get this problem to go away.. somehow.... i'll try a few more of your tips on my setup and if i can't get that crazy loud microphony to cut back or out i may just have to try a different set of pickups. thanks again

you can get it to go away .. brass bridge plate no mag plate under pickup and even nylon screws to support the pickup .. will still have a bit of TELE but also a bit straits without all the magnetic halo caused by all the steel ... I think you get it !!! happy twangin'

@@thebrainard man, thank you so much for your help.. i was able to completely solve the problem i was having with my microphonic bridge pickup! i almost started to initiate a return to send the set back but it is excellent now - able to rock hi-gain sounds with no horrific squealing. for anyone else following along (probably no one, but just in case) i did the following: 1) melted a modest amount of shaved candle wax between the bridge/mag plate and the bridge pickup bobbin, clasped it tight with a pliers and let it sit overnight 2) added additional surgical tubing to encase the pickup mounting screws, the ones they give you just aren't long enough in my opinion to really compress the bobbin into the mag plate 3) LOOSENED MY BRIDGE PLATE .. i was screwing it in so damn tight that it was lifting off the body slightly in the front (neckward side...) so by loosening the mounting screws for the bridge plate just slightly, and only tightening them up until the point where they WOULD start to lift the plate, but DONT, and then letting the strings apply the rest of the downward pressure on the plate to the body, as advised in this video.. i plugged into a 20w jet city head and cranked the gain and it sounded glorious

thanks for contributing ... glad you r rocking

thank you so much for the listen and the kind words

Rock on! thanks for the kind words

I don't have a brand.. it is just a small 3 corner file I got a a hardware store .. the finer the cut and sharper the corner.edge the better

@@thebrainard wonderful - I like your style :-) I've been so frustrated with Luthiers in the Capital District/Albany NY area - I've slowly got to the point where I'm going to simply do it myself lol

just take your time and think thru the process of what you are going to do a couple times before you actually do them .. and don't go 'all the way right away.... make it 'better' and leave it a week and come back and tweet it... do that a couple times over a few weeks and you will nail it !!! best

@@thebrainard that’s excellent practical advice that can easily be overlooked - patience is a virtue :) thanks again!

wood burning .. done by an artist friend

thanks

You bet!

You're welcome

indeed it is

thank you so much Remi ... glad you are back on the twitter

I though he was a jolly rancher

I would think so .. the whole thing is about eliminating looseness and vibrations and unifying the system .. the pickup itself should not matter

@@thebrainard what if i put wax behind the plate of the pickup will it remove some of it ?

give it a try .. the tele plate is pulled tight by the adjusting screws .. if your plate is 'floating' it may and may not .. what you want Is to eliminate the contact and any looseness

star shield on the Time Machine is cracked

I thinks so as well .. such cool sounds and easy to connect with

thank you for the kind words sooooo glad it helps

thank you so much for the kind words !!

super... thank you for the positive comment !!

most welcome

thank you so much for the kind words

if its wax potted I am pretty sure you could repot .. just let it get good and warm so the inner area wax melts and draws in some more wax. you could re-soak a lacquered pickup in thin lacquer. it could melt the old lacquer and soak in farther.. I am saying this from guitar finish experience .. nitro lacquer layers 'melt' into the hardened lacquer layers.. soooo maybe

@@thebrainard makes sense, like potted can be repotted. One would have to deconstruct & rewind a clean pickup unless the lacquer might have some effect as a wax solvent & break the wax down removing any waxy residue layer.

There's a reason why Fender started using wax and why most of other pickup builders do. The lacquer does not penetrate deep so you can end up with a very microphonic pup. Also, lacquer deteriorates with time and lacquer potted pickups can't be serviced.

thank you for taking the time to comment .. sooo glad for you

thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to comment!!

yes you 'can' .. can being the operant word you used... and you may as well ... but I think I mapped out why I showed this way... I do not propose this as the only or even the best way ...but it is a way and it works great and if you are inexperienced enough to think that the crown of the saddle can not be articulated after this is done.. no hope ... .. did you listen? .. try doing that

Thanks for the visit

Thanks Ed!!

gets wet when they leak

yes its fine to press it in with thumbs .. just make sure it is seated all the way down

I used tape .. full mag coverage..

​@@thebrainardI wonder why Leo never did the same with all his engineering prowess. Seems like such an obvious thing to do for any electrical engineer or tech.

good question .... according to some. if you use the outer end of the winding there is less chance of static ... I like the inner wire due to the shielding effect of the col so I have to be sure that there is a little insulation ...also he used 42 ga wire 1- less breakage due to heavier ga...2- insulation is probably thicker so not as much need for it .....3- probably not wound super tight so there would not be micro cracks in the insulation ... mass production protocols @@leobender2910

@@leobender2910 He was a cheapaskate and didn't want to use and spend more than he had to. They had to convice him to put truss rods in the neck of his guitars. He saved his company money by not having baseplates/covers on Strat pickups like Teles had. The alnico rods were not taped off but he wind the pickup so the ground wire would always be grounded in the case of insulation faliure.

Most welcome

thanks for the listen and the kind words !!!
