ok GAS has cut in again - just ordered the RS wiring kit for my LP and I'm thinking of a better set of PUPs for my Bass
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Thats great. They get rave reviews those RS kits.
I have heard they are not that expensive as well. Don't you think the pots and Caps in your Classic are cutting it ?

nah its more that I want to try it out to see why it gets rave reviews - pure GAS! I'm all in favour of better quality components, and the RS Kit is an easy way of upgrading

What is an RS kit?
Radio Shack?
Rock Shop?
Rock Solid?
Rigid Suspension?
Real Silly?
What does it do then?

oops missed your post rog... its higher spec/tolerance components. also the pots are log (audio) taper as opposed to the completely WRONG linear pots fitted by Gibson - this is just a downright strange thing for them to do. They also match the pots to within a higher spec - i.e. the 500k pots will be within the range 500 - 520k as opposed to anywhere ranging from 420k upwards.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

oops I forgot to mention that the linear pots fitted by gibson are 300K as well.... so the 500K opens the sound up a bit....
