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?

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.?
