We're not taking pre-orders, I can't even give you a release date (two have passed us by already) but if you add yourself to our mailing list, you'll be the first to know when and how you can buy it. You can jump on our mailing list at http://www.amperzahn.com , theres a little box at the top of the page where ya chuck you're e-mail. Don't worry, we don't spam much, and we won't even sell your address to people who do

Cheers

Anyway, soldered everything back on, tapped the pickups to make sure they're working, all goodo, put the bass back together, chucked the strings on, played it, and oh no, I hear I've wired the pickups out of phase with each other. You see, all the wires were different colours on everything, so I just made what I thought was a pretty good guess on the middle pick-up... ooops.

Anyway, I have a question for you knowledgable peoples. How can I tell if my pick-up is out of phase without actually putting the bass back together, and the strings back on, and listening to it? Is there some little trick where I can find out while it's still in pieces and save myself a bit of work next time I'm doing something like that?
