Samick Rebuild Journal: Entry I
I got me parts in today for my Samick makeover!! Whoo-hooo!
I've got...
EMG Select P/J pickups, Schaller strap locks, knobs, J-bass wiring harness complete with pots, wiring, and capacitor. I'll have it ready in a few weekends. It'll be good to bet old faithful back in the mix.

WooHoo!
Can't wait to hear it! Congratulations

If I learned anything from
If I learned anything from my dad, it was that beer must always be involved in any upgrade/rebuild/improvement project. Smart man. Wise words.

Agreed, with one exception.
Agreed, with one exception. I don't drink beer while operating a chain saw! Not that it's more dangerous than other things, just that it's messier. hahaha
Why did you not give me this
Why did you not give me this piece of info BEFORE I chopped up the tree in our front yard? Errrrr. ;^D

I was just about to say
I was just about to say that, which reminds me of a (boring) story.
I remember about seven years ago, while working for Home Depot, a rather drunk gentleman came in looking for a nail gun, a miter saw, and a buttload of other power tools. When I asked him why, he said, "Well, me and the boys were just sittin' around drinkin' and decided we'd build us a deck!"
I got real worried, but curiosity got the best of me. So, I helped him get what he needed and camped out in the emergency room with a couple of beers myself (not true). They never showed up, so I suppose all went well. I'd hate to see that deck, though.

I bet the deck came out
I bet the deck came out perfect for those drunken stoppers they would get into and walk sideways. ;^D

I also believe that a lot of the online stores such as SamAsh, GC, AmericanMusicSupply all sell harnesses.

I got my stuff at Stew Mac,
I got my stuff at Stew Mac, but it is not complete. The kit includes the pots, wiring, and a capacitor, but you have to do the soldering yourself. A diagram is included.
You can order a P or J bass wiring kit. Sorry 'bout that. Harness was not the word to use.
