Re: Help/Question About Peavey Solid State Reverb Hum

Can be on of a few things: - Input and Output cables are reversed (most common). - Same cables have a poor connection. - Reverb springs in the tank broke and are touching the shell, or the tank is upside down from its intended mounting position. Be mindful of the tank code if replacing the tank, as...

Coil Split Wiring Help.

I have a few Epiphone wiring harnesses. They have molex connectors. So I got wiring adapters to wire the pickups to, so I could just snap them in. The hot and ground are not an issue. Easy even for me to figure out. It is the wires from the coil split. You can see in the Epiphone and Musiclilly Diag...

Now I have tried amps, where the reverb was spotty or absent...just replaced the tank. I was wondering if a loud hum co...

Re: Question About Humbucker "Split" Wiring

Before proceeding full into @dabbler process (which is solid), identify the associated color pairs of each of the two humbucker coils. Since Donlis is a generic Chinese manufacturer and has no problem making exact copies, I'd venture they utilized either Duncan's or DiMarzio's color codes. Using a ...

Re: Wraparound Bridge for Les Paul Jr. .....

That looks like one of the Leo Quan Clones on Amazon or eBay. They usually measure 82 mm....hence the work needed to make it fit, since I would gather most Chibson are around 81mm. Both of my Chibsons are 81 mm. In my experience, that style has almost always been too high to get the action down to ...

Re: Wraparound Bridge for Les Paul Jr. .....

The OEM wrap around bridge on my Chibson LP Jr Single P90 would not intonate. That is the chance one takes with a Chibson for $225 Since it is a Chibson I had not idea what would fit so I put a rather inexpensive wrap around bridge with adjustable saddles. My guy had top to a little machine work on...

Re: Wraparound Bridge for Les Paul Jr. .....

Well @tobijohn suggested filing the inner areas of the bridge...after about 10 minutes of filing, I got enough off and now it fits! I was hoping for the Leo Quan Bad Ass...but at 16mm would be a bit high. This should suffice. Thanks all!

Les Paul Jr. copy to be exact. The pole spacing on the bridge studs is about 80.5 mm and making it really hard to find bridge that fits. Most are too wide and have gone back to Amazon. If anyone has any history with this....let me know what you used. I was trying to keep it reasonable, but now cost ...
