Re: Finally - GC + Dominoes
Thanks guys, it was a slave labour of 'love'. Time to learn how to play and do some fishing now 
You appear to be the only one curious... The BadLads have a 'special' side effect that was totally unintended and I think it is a result of the way I attached the top of the pickup cover to the body of the pickup and the fact that the pickup cover is timber. Depending on your point of view it can be a positive or a negative. I have not come across it on any other commercial pickup so I am totally to blame for it. As I said I did not notice it until the very end but keen to find out how quickly others notice it.
3KGs only so quite manageable I would have thought. Certainly the lightest I have build to date!null_pointer wrote:Looks heavy (ha ha ha)...great work!
Yip, it was 'designed' for that. That is why I need some T-Armonds to see how the body performs with a respected pickup.... Can't compare it anymore to the 6120 as I sold that.StrummersOfThunder wrote:Will it take filtertrons/dynasonics too??
Indeed, I believe BG is on to that... but we can have a beer prior to that if you can't wait that longH671 wrote:Impressive - now we need a Auckland Gear fest to showcase it
Yes, the neck pickup is mounted on the tenon bit and no connector soldered under the PCB. The bridge did not have any support underneath (as the Dyna's are mounted on top) so I glued a bit of timber underneath. There just wasn't enough space in the corner because of the connector. In future I think it is better to make my pickups with an English Mount system.bender wrote:Curious to hear more about this too.jvpp wrote:Yesterday I wired it all up and finished the Gretsch Copy.

Is there are reason that the two pickups have different mounting screw placements?
