I believe so.

Beautiful I used to have the same colour Jag years ago.

You were on the guest list as well!!

Cheers mate

Soooo cool!

Pretty much as you said. I just melted some candles I had at home.
On the bass vi it worked and has stopped the squeal. Tried on another guitar and it made it better but not perfect. If it helps though I haven't killed a pickup yet!

I have broken Doog!

Maybe I am the problem? Maybe I am microphonic?

Unfortunately the 14 was too short so I had to improvise

Bass vi update.

Have installed a Avantguard tort pickguard and turned it into a Baritone tuned A.

Also had a go wax potting the bridge pickup ( all of the pickups are microphonic) but haven't had a chance to see if it worked

Pizza guard

But next day delivery!!

Did a Instagram live at practice but like a total idiot put the phone landscape so it's sideways. But this is our set for our first gig....so you don't need to come to it now.

I haven't looked into the process. It shouldn't have to be this hard haha. I haven't got another Tele pickup unfortunately. I may just buy a cheap but potted one on Amazon and try that. The potting basically worked on the humbucker although it's still quite lively it just doesn't squeal like the bri...

For fucks sake!!!! Potted again for ages still microphonic. Removed from bridge plate, still microphonic, removed brass pickup plate, still microphonic. I am reading that vacuum potting is something needed for some pickups to get the wax deep in the winds? I dunno if the higher gain pickup with more...

I have a suspicion. When potting last time, the pickup was laying on the top bobbin, metal plate sticking up. The pickup is taped up. So I think the wax hasn't reached inside the coil enough. So I am potting it again. This time for longer and with the top bobbin facing up allowing the wax in the hol...

No that is helpful. I tried the same move with the black jag and it didn't squeal. If I can get through practice and be able to control it then I don't mind some liveliness. Matthew K I stuck some foam under the bridge pickup and reseated the metal plate under the pickup. I also added some gaff tape...

If that’s a standard Tele mount you have a high gain pickup hanging from a metal plate with springs in compression. That’s what the microphonics sound like too. Can you use surgical tubing instead of springs? and/or wrap some kind of damping around the pickup under the plate? It has the rubber tubi...

So I wax potted the pickups today as per internet instructions. And the squeal is definitely harder to achieve. But the guitar, particularly the bridge pickup is still somewhat microphonic. http://www.instagram.com/reel/Cncgk9XKyMr/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I dunno if it's just the nature of higher outpu...

So tried the guitar with the blackstar silverline tonight at practice levels and sure enough it's howling. Where as my black jaguar did not. After a bit of looking I've seen others needing to pot fender wideranger pickups. The bare Knuckle should be potted, but I guess pickups can go bad. So gonna r...

Yeah everything is shielded and grounded. Listening back on a recording from last night it's not as bad as I remembered it. It was worse early on before I moved the amp to the ground. I may just need to turn down? I did worry it might be a microphonic tube. I need some time before next practice to t...

Made adjustments to the setup. Raised bridge a bit more and added more shim to keep the low action. I tried to get away with a lower bridge as I am not installing a mute. But as I already knew(stupid boy) you just need that bridge high and proud. Need to understand the feedback and why it happened. ...
