Minor Surgery

sycamore Posted 2008-09-12 10:44 AM (#21148) Subject: Minor Surgery Joined: March 2007 Posts: 698 Location: Cork, Ireland Doing some minor tweaks on the 1615 this weekend.I plan to -See if any shims are already fitted and maybe fit some (I find the action a bit low). -Replace missing saddle pins. -Look at the preamp as the pot crackles a bit. Anything else I should check on this 29-year-old while I'm in there?

Pre amp Change the battery and if it still does contact cleaner. sycamore Posted 2008-09-15 4:48 AM (#21150 - in reply to #21148) Subject: Re: Minor Surgery Joined: March 2007 Posts: 698 Location: Cork, Ireland Thanks. No shims in there so I fitted one which improves the buzzing at the bass end. All I did the electrics was tighten the locknut and now no signal at all! Obviously disturbed a bad connection somewhere - maybe when I lifted the saddle? Wiring looked pretty rebust there though. Are all the leads soldered to the preamp or are there spade connectors etc.?
