Stiff competition! Good luck all!

Ugh. I rewired the switches pretty well this time. There isn't a huge buzz when not playing like before but there's lots of buzz, noise and pops etc when playing. So frustrated.

Ok so fixing the accidental reverse wiring I had at the bottom of switch 2 at DID fix the loud buzz that was happening at all times even when not playing. Now it just buzzes a bit when when playing notes but It's not as pronounced, but still annoying. Again, tone all the way down produces no...

I did make a mistake with the second switch compared to the wiring diagram that I am going to fix today. But I didn’t think that would cause the buzzing issue just a functionality issue with the pickup selection

I thought maybe that could be the case My first time around as I haven’t soldered in a few years so I was a bit rusty. But I bought all new pots and switches this time around and was pretty gentle with the heat. I updated the post with a link to pictures

Sorry I meant I started from scratch with new pots and new toggles and new wires new capacitor etc. I posted a link to the Google share that has the photos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1I7shLqZbgkSa6Dx-OjmwS5JMt3EenRi5

I've redone the wiring twice now and I can't kick the buzzing sound. Video is of me turning the tone pot up and down. Assuming it's bad grounding? It's super prominent when I turn up the tone pot, all the way down and it's fine, all the way up and it's very loud. Holding other knobs will also...

Well, thanks for keeping an open mind :occasion14:

Thanks! It sounds great, very acoustic when not plugged in. I am having some issues with the electronics--mostly a ground hum louder than it should be, so I'm going to take a look at those. I think it's coming from the tone pot, so maybe there's something on there I missed. Also there's a little...

Finally got her done. First Warmoth build in the books! Deluxe 5 P bass in black korina finished in purple to clear burst with natural binding and: - Warmoth 4+1 wenge neck - Pau Ferro fretboard - black binding - abalone side dots - black block inlays - Hipshot bridge and machine heads -...

Ohhh I see what's up now. I missed the hole initially when i copper taped the control cavity. And I didn't even notice the little side hole in the recess. So what's the center hole for? It doesn't seem to lead anywhere. Maybe it was just a pilot hole for the oval recess route...

Yeah I thought it probably was the ground---it's either undrilled or plugged up. Guess I'll get my pokn' stick

Firstly, what's the oval route in the pic? Second, does it have something to do with grounding? I have a rear route 5-string-through-body P bass here and I'm looking for the ground route and not seeing it. Does Warmoth do them and I'm just missing it? https://imgur.com/a/CriczVg

I had to do a double take. It looks like a whole different guitar under their lights and photography. This has certainly been a learning experience

Oh thanks for that I've been keeping a lookout. It's interesting because I've just been clicking in stock guitars then hitting the drop down to 200 to see them all and I haven't seen it come up. But when I click on Stratocaster on the left, there it is.
