The Pot

[vchizzle]

So I had a volume pot go bad on me and had to replace it with a cts pot from a local store. I hate the higher resistance of the new pot. To much effort to turn it. I will be promptly ordering a few from PRS. I know there's people that don't like the low resistance ones PRS uses, but not me.

Give me the PRS pot!!!

I like pot too . Oh wait, you're talking about the volume pot?! I like the PRS ones also .

Ok, I'll see myself out .

Man... I used to love the pot.

I'm draggin' my ass busting out the soldering iron today. I got some PRS pots I gotta wire up, but I don't wanna.

You can do it! Prop junior up at the table and start learnin' him early!

Sounds like the side effects to me!

Side effects of withdrawal maybe.

I smoked a pot on one of my CU24's because apparently I used a crappy soldering pencil that was too hot, solder that was too thick and I didn't use a heat sink. A replacement volume pot from PRS was not cheap and neither was the professional soldering rig that I bought. Built a super heavy duty work bench which is the same exact height of the guitar repair shop's bench down the street (with a working surface of 42&1/2 inches high) Working up the nerve to try again. Might replace some pickups in a different guitar too once I get the new soldering iron heated up.

Keep practicing, you'll get it. Important to have the right tools, but I got away for many years using crap from radio shack. Hell, I still have cables I made 15 years ago that work great. I open them up to take a peek and they look like hell. I'm much better after getting experience.

Somehow, this is where my mind went.

I LOVE this song!!!!! We played it a few times in my old band but only a few people got it. Total bummer.

Thanks, brother My state isn´t exactly legal either, but nobody seems to care. I might derail further later on
