<p>I have a Baggs Anthem SL in my flattop and the end pin jack with preamp attached is loose from the inside. My guess is that the inside bolt that snugs up against the tail block has come loose. The nut on the outside is tight against the washer that backs it up (and bottoms on the shoulder of the end pin) but there is definitely space on the inside and the jack wobbles and moves in and out about 1/8".</p>
<p>Normally, I'd take this back to the shop that installed it but it's in the Bay Area…</p>

<p>I can't get my big arm all the way to the end block on the inside, even with an over-sized sound hole. </p>
<p>Any suggestions on how to approach this?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

I am working on an electric guitar. 3 single coils (2 generic strat type and one 60s Japan-looking thing at bridge position), 5 way switch, holes for 3 pots, stereo jack. Client wants stereo output. If i just use the pickups, switch and jack, i get a pretty good range of combinations out of the 2 sides of the jack. Missing only the middle pickup on one side. But when i add pots, it turns to mud - the pickups are combining.<div><br></br></div>

I am working on an electric guitar. 3 single coils (2 generic strat type and one 60s Japan-looking thing at bridge position), 5 way switch, holes for 3 pots, stereo jack. Client wants stereo output.

But when i add pots, it turns to mud - the pickups are combining.<div><br/></div>
<div>When it works, as above with no pots; </div>
<div>the signal at the tip is standard strat, and the signal at the ring is:</div>
<div>neck position = bridge pickup</div>
<div>2nd position = bridge pickup</div>
<div>middle = nothing</div>
<div>4th position = neck pickup</div>
<div>bridge position = neck pickup.</div>
<div>So, it has the effect of spreading the pickups and tone range across two amps (except where the middle pickup drops out of one)</div>
<div><br/><div>The solution, i hope, is to go from 3 pickups to 3 vol pots first, then go to the switch positions, then to the jack.</div>
<div>Will i keep the separation i had with just the switch?</div>
<div>And, must i be sure to keep the pots above common ground?</div>
<div>And, where do i connect the ground from the jack?</div>
<div>I hope this makes some sense. After messing with this for awhile, i wired it as above tonight, but didn't have a chance to check it.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>(If it were up to me, would find some combinations of pedals, switchers and amps to achieve this myself, but my client wants to do this so i thought i would try)</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for any ideas or comments you may have.</div>
