Re: RAWR!!!!! angry at wiring
btw when i started the wirring before i had the rosin solder, my dad and i started wiring it up and we used plumbing solder i guess and we covered the bare wire in it to make it longer so idk if that my be it.

Re: RAWR!!!!! angry at wiring
I'd say, get rid of every trace of plumbing solder. It couldn't be more wrong for electrical connections. Every one of them done with that stuff has to be cleaned off and redone. Cut the wires back, too, and start over.

Re: RAWR!!!!! angry at wiring
so take all the wires that i used the plumbing solder on off and cut them back or just cut all the wires from the pickup back?

Re: RAWR!!!!! angry at wiring
Start with the ones that have the plumbing solder -- if you can tell one kind from the other. All connections made with it have to go.
