  1. * Repaired a Ferrite EQ

    * A Carl Martin Octaswitch came in with some issues on the DC Jack.

    I replaced it with a new one, and also tightened all the switches/jacks + electro cleaned.

    The buffer part is not working when it is on (no sound), but the owner needs it and it will come back at a later point to investigate. This would also take up a lot of time for finding the fault as the PCB is quite big

    * Fixed a Bugera V22 Infinium

    A tube failed (I measured it with my Sencore TC136 Tube Tester and it had 2 shorts, and everything was out of spec), and had completely desoldered one of the screen grid resistors right off the PCB, leaving it rattling around in the amp!

    I replaced both, and to be easier for future service if it is needed, I mounted them on the other side, so that these are easily desoldered  (not needing to take out the whole PCB)

    * Squier Strat - fixed the solder joints on the input jack and also tightened it heavily

  2. * Did some work on a Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat:

    -guitar is a leftie but the owner is right handed, and he wanted to use it right handed, so I swapped the nut for a right handed one, and adjusted everything accordingly;

    -the usual setup with the trem made floating;

    -gave the fretwire some shine;

    -electronics were good stock;

    * Some work on a beat up 70's Musicmaster Bass (I think the body was replaced long ago with something else)

    -had the neck refretted/cleaned/lacquered at a local luthier in my country, because it had extended fretwire damage (thank you very much Mr. @EugenRo2001 );

    -did a full setup/derusted/replaced all screws/cleaned everything (this was a very very messy and unplayable instrument prior to everything);

    -had to buy a tuner key to match the other ones (very hard to find, but I had some luck in the US)

    -the wiring was a mess, so I redid it with appropriate pots and also redid the aluminum foil on the pickguard back, and also repalced the pickup wires with cloth ones;

    Sounds great now and plays very good for such an old forgotten bass. I quite enjoyed it :)

    Some after and before pics, and also a video of me testing it:

    Reiterez rugămintea de a regândi sistemul de vot. Mi-au plăcut, pentru motive diferite, dar legitime, cel puțin 4 interpretări (Alberto Măntoiu, Shreder_DT, iulian şi Kibis44) şi nu văd nici un motiv pentru care să nu-mi pot manifesta aprecierea, frustrându-i pe 3 dintre colegii cu care nu am putut vota de aprecierea mea.

    Ia vezi acum, ar trebui sa mearga, exemplu:

  4. * Got a chance to swap some capacitors and the tube, in my old 60's Sencore Tube Tester

    Great tool to have around

    * Another HGE Contraptions JHS Morning Glory clone
    (123rd pedal built!)

    * HGE Contraptions Catalinbread SFT II clone, with the stoner switch. Very cool QOTSA sounds from this mean od/fuzz thing. I used Motorola MPF4393 transistors as per the original.
    (124th pedal built)

    Vid sample

    Important later edit:

    In the meantime I discovered a general error that existed for this schematic on the web, and corrected it for the owner. Now the Gate from the Q1 position FET is seeing a stable voltage. This is totally wrong online and I will do my best to alert anyone who does this to correct this. Basically moved one leg of the 470K resistor at the input 2 rows down(at the other side of the 100nF resistor).

  6. * An LTD EC-500 LP came in for some general stuff:
    - setup which included nut filing to be ideal(some strings were actually snagging at the nut);
    - cleaned the electro parts and also painted the screws, along with some general cleaning,
    loose tuners were tightened;
    - degrinded and polished the frets;
