This is a nut replacement for a PB-5 made by Atelier Z.
The sound is clogged due to wear and tear.
The nut is a consumable item and needs to be replaced periodically.
The concept of nut groove height is simple: the higher the groove height, the longer the nut will last, but the harder it will be to play and the pitch will be worse.
The reason is that the distance from the nut to the frets becomes longer, and when you press down on the fretboard, it becomes like chalking.
If the nut height is low, it is easier to press down and easier to play, but the life of the instrument will be shorter due to wear and tear.
This is up to the manufacturer.
We were able to replace the nut and finish it up with no problems.
It was brought in because it had no sound.
At the customer’s request, we replaced it with a pot that he brought in.
We fixed the grounding problem and now the sound comes out.
The customer requested that only the wiring be repaired.
Please note that we can repair only the wiring, but any work that does not include basic adjustments will not be covered by our warranty.
The reason for this is that we do not check the sound in the correct condition.
Please note that we will not be able to understand the condition of the product unless you let us handle all the work until the end.
If you are trying to do this work cheaply, it will be a problem, so if you seem to have no problem with these conditions, we can accommodate you.
This is an EMG conversion of a Creation Stratocaster.
When replacing a passive guitar with an EMG, all electrical parts must be replaced except for the selector.
The resistance value of the active pots is very different from the passive pots, so they need to be replaced.
The front and center are S, and the rear is 81.
The S tends to sound clearer and more modern than the SA.
The SA is more sparse and the S is clearer, as you can see when you compare it with the SA.
Many people seem to prefer the S over the SA.
The 81 is for distortion and specializes in distortion rather than clean.
I have posted a video on Youtube, so it would be easier to understand the difference if you check the sound in the video.
This time, we are replacing the current EMG with a soldered type EMG.
SA x 2 and the rear is a 58.
The sound is softer and the distortion is lower compared to the current product.
The connector type tends to make a shimmering sound due to the drop in bass, and a similar effect may be obtained by soldering the connectors on the current product.
I have the impression that the output is also different, perhaps due to a change in the internal op-amps or deterioration. The current product seems to have more power.
The SA is a very good PU and I have been recommending it for a long time, but I have the impression that the rear 58 has a narrow expressive power and is difficult to handle.
I think the 58 is less used than the 85 and 81, which are standard PUs, but it has a strong sense of compressiveness and is very limited.
Also, since old PUs are used, there is a possibility that they are broken or deteriorated and the original sound may have changed.
Therefore, I am not sure if I am making a correct judgment, so this is just my opinion in the case of this guitar.
When purchasing an old PU, it would be ideal if you could check the actual sound before you buy it.
It is important to be skeptical about whether the PU is broken or not, because “there is a reason why it is sold in the first place”. It is important to be skeptical.
This is a pot replacement and setup for a History GH-BJ4.
This is a timeless timber model.
Only in these days, the timeless timber models used by History often have a good sound.
In addition to the good sound and rise, the color of the wood is darker than normal maple, so I think there is an additional effect.
I replaced it with a volume skinny. The model has an active circuit attached to the pot, so I separated the pot from the base and replaced it with a new pot.
I had to use a similar pot for the amp, so I wired it to a regular pot since we do not have such pots.
I recommend History because of their good cost performance and low used prices.
This is a PU wiring and setup for a Yamaha Pacifica.
The customer brought this in because he had replaced the PU and could not find the wiring.
The number of wires differs depending on the model of the PU. If you do not know how the wires are connected, you will not be able to wire the PU correctly.
There is no common standard for wiring colors and roles among PU manufacturers, so a tester is a must if you want to work on PUs.
After wiring, the sound can be produced without any problems.
The sound is good and easy to play, but there is not much room in the truss rod.
The truss rod is very important to make it easy to play.
The wood tends to be softer and more warped in recent years, and the quality of low-priced models tends to drop or return to normal depending on the time of year, so it’s important to buy a model in good condition first.
Ormsby Elite 2 nut groove adjustment, jack replacement and setup.
This is an Ormsby Elite 2. It is hard to play because of the sweetness of the parts for a new model.
The electrics on it were cheap, so I think it is a low-priced model, but I don’t have detailed information about it because it is a rare make and model.
The jack was replaced with a new one due to a problem with the jack.
The nut height is not correct, and it is hard to play.
The low-priced models are not well finished at difficult and time-consuming points such as the nut and frets.
It is a basic rule of thumb to fix this if you buy a new one.
When you buy a new one, adjust the nut groove cut and fret fret adjustment.
This alone will improve the quality of the instrument. The basic rule is that the manufacturer’s manufacturing accuracy is not that high.
This bass guitar is equipped with a wide-range humbucker, which is quite rare.
The sound is fat and has a nice bass sound, but the sound is very slow when it is normal.
All electrical components have been replaced to improve the sound.
The PU is a good one, but the controls are cheap parts since it is in the low price range.
Just by replacing these parts, the sound quality can be expected to improve.
The front end now has a deep, soft acoustic sound, and the rear end has a fat, well-proportioned sound.
This model is very good and is at a level where it is better to buy at the lower price point.
The sound and playability does not seem very low priced, so I will not complain to anyone I introduce this to.
