This is one of the most thorough and understandable soldering tutorials I've ever seen.

@brylner 8 місяців тому

Totally agree, very good!👍👍👍

Holy smokes. I never had a 15 minute tutorial go so fast. Thanks

@hkguitar1984 Рік тому

Here is a good tip. When soldering any pot, turn the potentiometer's shaft all the way to the OFF position (fully CW or CCW). By doing so before soldering you protect the fragile carbon resistor strip from damage from high heat/over-heating. If by chance there is damage it will be at the extreme travel of the wiper-arm/carbon strip. Basically, if it gets damaged better to have the damage occur at the extreme ends instead of in the middle of the operational area.

I'm doing the wiring on my first build and this video was incredibly helpful to me. Thank you so much! No other video went into the details that aren't very intuitive to me as well as this one did.

@ianjamieson3985 3 місяці тому

Excellent tutorial with great macro photography. Thanks.

@thetruthseeker_75 4 місяці тому

Thank you. This has been the best video on soldering for guitars that I have ever seen on UKposts. Top Notch!

Your video helped me fix my bass on my own and I'm very grateful for the time you spent putting this together.

@derrickrussell8933 4 місяці тому

I'm ordering a soldering iron now. I'm excited to be able to play my bass again.

@jonbooker1050 4 місяці тому

This is such a great instructional for soldering. Between the closeups and detailed instruction (that’s lacking in every other instructional I’ve seen), this is, by far, the best.

@rferguson3 Рік тому

I've soldered, many times. Installed a bunch of pickups. However, I didn't realize quite how terrible/half assed my approach was. That is, until I stumbled on this gem of a video. Thanks dude. Much appreciated 🤌🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻

@MrLovesToCrankUp 2 місяці тому

Just saved me $80 on my Ibanez SDGR bass. Plus however much it would’ve cost me to do any other time I needed this one wire resoldered. A like and a sub was a negligible price to pay.

@MrLovesToCrankUp 2 місяці тому

Got it first try too 🎉

I really wish this video had been available all the times I soldered new pickups in. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The only consistent thing about my soldering work was the white-hot rage I was filled with by the end.

@faizeljoemrati6329 9 місяців тому

Thanks Daniel! Great instructions and information (easy to follow, even for a bookkeeper 🤪) 👍🏾

@AriesLT 9 місяців тому

This is a great tutorial for soldering in general. I had always figured I was soldering two wires together wrong. I could never get it to work when I tinned the wires - turns out I was on the right track by twisting them first! Your technique on how to get good flow into the twisted pair will be a huge help.
