Subscribe to enter a Jazz Bass giveaway! I noticed that the 2 mistakes are not clear on the video after the upload. The first mistake is that the cloth sleeve on the Capacitor was not letting the solder settle on the other side of the connector. Then I had a similar issue with the volume pod and ended desoldering the cable and using a black one. The solder got all the way down and I tired cleaning it but ended up damaging the volume pot. Lesson learned
The expense pays US workers, hopefully a living wage. I twist the wire pairs so they act way less like antennas. Often the differences between pickups are only apparent thru a cranked amp. Bandmates are good judges of tone. Don't want to get in a capacitor battle but the part of your signal that goes thru the tone cap is shunted to ground. Golden ears claim they can hear differences but the only possible thing to hear is the cap "working". Any other difference is the actual frequency cut off points along the tone pot sweep. Anyway, dont fall for capacitor hoo-doo, the number of tracks recorded with guitars that have ceramic caps is countless. If you install a treble bleed or any cap in series with your signal path, like the caps used to brighten up muddy humbuckers, then the type is important. I use CDE silver mica for the small values in treble bleeds, other folks I know have used polystyrene but it's too easy to burn those ones up with the iron.

Hello Rusty. Glad to see another video from you. Thanks!
All good info, thanks bro!
Thanks Man ! 🙏😁
First mistake is using orange drop. Not a fan and for good reason. Tried and almost all others were better.
Fat 60's are best used with talent
lol. No worries Jose. I have learned to not take things personally, or I should say I try. Thanks for watching!
Nice guitar 🎸
Nice pickups
Fat 60s are best used with a metal pickguard IMHO
Why is that?
