He asked me to reach out for him, so he is basically waiting to hear from someone. Thank you for responding. Enjoy.

At 5:16am on October 6, 2010, MrRandomWritings (Backwater Bri) said…: Hi John - well you may have seen the videos I did earlier about those pickups and I "borrowed" the basic idea and made it easier. I confess I sort of know how it works but 'why it works' is a bit beyond me! Before I made guitars, changing a light bulb was a challenge after I put my finger in a live socket a few years ago! If you want me to bring some bits along just to show how to do it I don't mind - will look out for you on the chat later - I am just refining that double necker at the mo - sounds bloody amazing now I've killed the noise a bit - just forgot to earth the 3 way switch: it's always something damned obvious isn't it?!
