Comment by Dave Lynas on December 9, 2019 at 5:15pm: Thanks for commiseration AGP I got him workin ok. I’ll find the cold joins and fix it later. It works like a hardwired pup to jack. Ok by me for now.

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on December 9, 2019 at 11:16am: Well, that is unfortunate that you have to chase electrical issues. Probably due to the fact that electrons have such a negative aura! I'm sure you'll get it sussed out; just a pain to have to deal with it.

Comment by Dave Lynas on December 8, 2019 at 12:26pm: I’m at least two screws missing AGP. I wired Duke up today and didn’t work! Duke hums like a hornet @dded tail ground. It got louder. I changed the pickup (I had 3 pups (all MGB Minis). Still no luck. So I resoldered everything. Still no luck. So tomorrow I’ll change out the pot and jack and try again. I’ll get it yet but not today.

Comment by AGP # on December 8, 2019 at 9:23am: I think a lot of us crazy addicted CBG nuts, have the odd "Screw Loose" (or missing!) Dave!
