fair enough, looks like I'll forego the fibreglass then.

it's an neck I've made myself, so added thickness would be taken into acount, plus I'd only give it an undercoat of colour, then apply the fibreglass on top in place of lacquer. another reason for this is it would make the neck virtually impervious to dents and scratches, however if you think it isn't worth it, maybe I'll go with a normal finish...

just as a way of finishing the neck, which would add a bit of stiffness to it too. the fibreglass'll be pretty transparent, to the colour of the paint will show up. You think it is a bad idea?

I was thinking of applying a thin layer of fibre glass on to the back of my bass guitar neck, with an undercoat on the wood, so the colour would be seen through the fibre glass. My question is will fibre glass stick properly to a painted surface? I've glassed a neck before, but previously onto bare wood. thanks.

I see, yes I realized that there was some other differences (like the 'comb' structure) but thought the tele pickups seemed to be similar. didn't realize the aren't magnetic though

I was reading this article about lace sensors: http://www.agi-lace.com/electric_pickups/l...ensor_specs.php and realised the only thing about them is the metal parts reducing hum and reduces the field size. Well surely a tele lipstick tube pickup would do the same thing, as the cover is made of metal? or am I missing something?

I once made a wah and made the casing out of scrap mahogany, with cavities foe electronics and such. the rocker peddle was made out of sheet steel. worked a treat

Oh yeah, push pull pot type thing, never heard of that.

I've got it sorted now anyway. I simply glued a thin plastic tube (which I made out of heatshrink) into the inside.

Yes, I think I'll have to do that then. Thanks for the input.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The inside of the actual tube has to be insulated. Like I said it is difficult to explain.

It's difficult to explain, but basically I need to insulate the inside of a 1/4" tube.

I'm looking for some kind of plastic which is like heat-shrink tubing, except it expands when it is heated. Does anyone know of anything like this, and if so where I an get it from? Thanks.

No need for that, I don't particularly want to do it or anything, I was just interested that's all. Is that such a bad thing?
