Rewinding a Stingray Pickup.

Post by **bassbass** » 28 Jun 2018, 11:40

Hi guys. Here's the new video for my fledgling YT channel. In this I tear apart and rewind a cheap Stingray pickup. I also created a track with sounds entirely made by the finished pickup.

I hope you enjoy. I also hope to inspire some of you to have a go at this stuff as well...

Love the look of that "P Ray" Rob. Gonna have a good listen when I get home from work tonight

Thanks again for sorting out the electronics issue on Classic Build #001. It hasn't missed a beat since. You are indeed the electronics guru of the forum

Well I just finished watching the whole video. Great job Rob. I've never seen so much useful content packed into 16 minutes.

I love the way you put the whole video together. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this. It's not an easy thing to put together and takes a lot more time than most people think

Thanks guys. Got more in the pipeline. Trying to focus on DIY approaches with simple hand tools. It's a great time to get cheap basses and just have a go. The videos are time consuming, but I like to edit them, because so much how-to stuff on YT is well-intentioned, but pretty waffly and not edited at all really. I try to light and shoot them better each time too. Just upgraded to a better phone this week, so the footage quality should improve...

takes a lot more time than most people think

Ha. Yeah that's for sure. But the more you do it, the more you streamline the process. But yeah, I saw an interview with the mighty car mods guys, and they spend far more time (10 times more!) editing than they do actually working on their project cars.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

That was great Rob. You can tell you’ve carefully thought out and edited the video. Really enjoyed watching it

I loved this...

Great instructional video, and the end result is great.

The pickup sounds very much like a classic stingray... (too close to discern a difference)...
It reminds me of that Louis Johnson tone...

I like how you spent a bit of time explaining the shielding and earthing. That in itself is a bit of science that many pickup builders (even commercial builders) don't understand properly.
