The dumbest jackass on this blue planet

The dumbest jackass on this blue planet Yes I am The Dumbest Jackass on this Blue Planet.     After shotgunning sections of two circuits, measuring things till blue inna face - cussing, being bad company to guests, burning self and pthers with the soldering iron et. al. ad nauseum.....     Yesterday - Try my rangem*ster with the same setup amp & guitar (already swapped all cords)     - Ugly Distortion!   Hmmmm - Maybe this guitar is too high output (even tho- my bass doesn't freeq out the rangem*ster!) and is driving the transistor into saturation.     Try other guitar..........     AAAAGGGGGGGGG! it works..... uuhhhh I mean good BUT..     The act of lowering the PUs caused a slightly intermittant SOMETHING in the guitar to fail - causing the front Humbucker to go silent. This problem always sounded like an intermittant before the effect.....     Funny the guitar always sounded just fine for testing DISTORTIONS and FUZZES! :>0     Thanks again for the help - this one is a major operator glitch.   - DJOTBP
