I put strings on it last night and played it for an hour or so
Everything worked except... the main volume control, which is either all the way on, or just a little quieter... it won't turn all the way down to nothing... so... I think it may be a bad part. I won't be able to check to make sure (I guess it could be in my circuit, needs a double check too) until Monday now... but ITS ALIVE!!!
Edit: Turned out I'd just forgotten the ground connection on the volume pot... couldn't see it thru the switch wiring...
Man Tom, it's gonna take you a while to find your way thru all the tones! I'll give a breakdown of the controls later... right now I have to make a 6 or 7 hour drive to rescue a dog... back tonight, my wife who's been away for work for 6 weeks gets home tomorrow, and our Thanksgiving meal will be on Sunday.
Now I need one of these too!
