Me and Paul met this afternoon in The Hague. He was very kind to invite me over to his place to help me with the problem i had with a very bad hum on receiving CS-1973. We had a very nice afternoon specialy coz his bass had arrived the day before and i also got to see his Ventura guitar  . Anyway when he opend up the guitar ( pickguard of ) a wire in there was loose because it was torn of by them middle tone pot which was able to move around and wasnt in its place solid. This was easely fixed by turning the pot tight to the pickguard en re-soldering the wire back to the pot. But the hum was still there so Paul gave the electronics a close inspection and found the cause real quick. The little metal connection thingies on the bottom of the pickup selector came in contact with the shielding paint in the control cavety. So what he did was bend them inwards a lil so they wouldnt touch it no more and also he put some tape inside the cavety the make sure the control couldnt touch the shielding paint no more. To cut a long story short ---> PROBLEM SOLVED ! . He did also notice the bridge wasnt in the correct possition. It was installed "locked" which is ok on its own but the tremblock was in such an angle it wasnt possible to renew strings through the tremcover. So he also made it to be a floating bridge for me. Took out 2 of the springs and put the other 3 in the V-shape and after some adjustments the bridge is now totaly straight and the trew works downwards but also a lil bit upwards. We also found the tbx control for blending not to be there but it was replaced with a push pull pot which i didnt even notice before simply because i didnt know it was being replaced by a push pull but np coz it works now and thats what matters. In the end Paul also taught me some very cool tricks for maintenance lol. I played it for an hour over my tubeamp when i got home from my visit and with the problem solved i can now say it is an AWSOME guitar which i wouldnt trade for the world .... it really sounds that good !! All in all it was visit worth while for more reasons then one  . Many many thanks to Paul for helping me out !!!! And for a fun and educative afternoon ! Well meet again  |

Hmmm - the guitar would have taken a pretty substantial "hit' in shipping for a pot to be loose. Its strange, the TBX pot was there when i took it home for preliminary testing, so they must have removed it after i gave them the guitar back, reporting the mixer control wasnt working right. I guess it was defective, and thats why they replaced it with a pull-pot. Unfortunately, i wasnt able to do FINAL inspection myself, as i was out of town the day before it shipped. I will look up the final inspection checklist on Monday and see who was responsible for the mandatory final inspection before it packed!  (heads are gonna roll...) Big Thanks to Paul... I will talk to Shamray about sending a gift along with CS-0067
