New obsession

Well, I've got a new 'favorite' thing, Need For Speed: Shift. Very awesome game. The physics engine in this game is one of the best I've played with. Then I found matt2380's Overhaul MOD on www.nogripracing.com makes the game tougher but even better, makes it one of the best racing sims available, IMHO at least.

Been awhile

Forgot I had this blog :)
Update on the Kalamazoo, I replaced all four pots, caps, wires and switch. I only kept the jack and the pick-ups.

While I had her apart I added RF shielding as described by John S. Atchley @ http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/index.php. Works great, really cut the hum down a lot, not totally but a significant amount. I also added the big cap for shock protection, I've been zapped while testing a 100w amp I was fixing, felt like the strings were cutting into my right palm.

Then the switch died and I just wired both pick-ups selected all the time for now.
