With respect, 10thtx

yeah you never know. It could be some uneducated 16-year-old rich kid looking for a cool amp and his "cluelessness" (in our eyes) is genuine. Best to just be patient. Better to lose a sale just because he's not interested than to lose a sale because you are being a jerk or ignoring him.

Losing a sale for being a jerk ( not that you would ), will cost you a multitude of sales.
Keep smiling.

Get that sort of thing a lot. I Got this today from a guy that order a pickup from me ("clone" of a popluar model). This is the clumination of a year or more of I want it ... months go by ... I want it ... months go by ... I want it ... gives me wrong shipping address ... 2 weeks waiting for USPS refund ... ship to correct address, etc. I already offered ideas in this area, but ...

It goes:

Well, pickup cleared up customs so its on its way to me .....
But about the 4 wires thing? Once i asked for it i want to do it , so what are the posiblities again? In the neck i have a humbucker sized p90s im sure would should super sweet this and the super dist in single coil .....
Now i have 50s wiring harmness that Works soooo good, would like to keep same dymamics but with the new features that this pickup wiring offers
So, for a les paul i should order this?
https://en.uraltone.com/cts-500k-log-vo ... mella.html

this shop in germany might have more options:
https://www.banzaimusic.com/search.php? ... _https=yes

this is the same than other shop i think :
https://www.banzaimusic.com/cts-dpdt-xl-500k-log.html

or this?
https://www.banzaimusic.com/push-push-i ... k-log.html

i have a 91´ Gibson les paul classic , so classic les paul thick body for sure

the 4 wires also affects the tone pot? Or i just have to buy one special pot ? just for the volume?

so as i said, want to keep same dymamics of the 50s circuit (paper in oil tone caps, all pots are 500k) but with the extras of the pick up 4 wiring .... please let me know ok?

The derp questions and lowball offers are all part of the fun of selling amps! :twisted:
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
