Hi what's up, so my (otherwise excellent) guitar tech managed to lose the... I don't even know what to call it, on my Guild bass.
The slider thing. I guess you'd call it a sliding potentiometer cap or something? I'll never find an original I'm sure but if I knew what the things in general were called I could buy a set of them and no one would know they're not the originals. Anyway it's for the BASS slider which is the most important slider, very tragic and very sad.
Sorry for the super obscure post, also when I google around it seems K&K Pure Bass pickups are really popular in these things. And I might change to that because these 1994 electronics in this Guild are... They're not good by modern standards for acoustic pickups let's just say. But how hard will that be to install seeing as I already have an undersaddle pickup in there?
And finally my guitar person kind of laughs at me when I grouse about these tiny marks the guitar has picked up in the nitro finish, a few dents and scratches. The thing is so close to looking showroom or new-old-stock that I kind of want to get them fixed and wondered if anyone knows how hard (or possible at all) it is to fix scratches like that.
Anyway this aside I love my bass it's amazing
