:lol: Actually i just realised that I feel better because I'm on heavy pain killers :lol:

Just be careful bro. A fucked up siatic nerve is a BAD bad thing, and no fucking joke! Being on the painkillers will make you feel better, and give you a false sense of security. Do NOT try to do shit because you 'feel better'. You'll make things worse and could potentially severely injure yourself further.

Yes, I'm very carefull these days... I already had this type of problem several times already...

I'm tall so I always have back problems :(

But the osteo was able to unblock it yesterday and my upper right leg is no longer numb so its getting better...

sounds like my dad :p

he´s on morphine all day, because his neck is all fucked up, and it´s messing with the nerves for the rest of his body etc etc. so basically he can´t have a job, and he´s in pain alot.

so yeah, what i was going to say, was that he´s broken some of his ribs like 3 or 4 times (osteoporosis as a result of the meds), and he doesn´t feel it when it happens, because of the morphine :p

also, his pain threshold is totally inaccurate when he´s on the meds, so he worked too hard fixing up the bathroom once, and messed his thumb up. he would´ve been in pain otherwise, but he didn´t notice until he woke up the next day and noticed his thumb was "stuck" in place, and he couldn´t bend it. he had to "crack" it back in place, which he said hurt like fuck... then imagine how it would feel if he wasn´t on the meds :p

The cool thing about having your own pickups is that I can also use my design to have my bass pickups built that way....

I'm currently starting to build a left handed 4 string bass, I will post a new thread when I get to it.

Kent is going to build bass pickups moulded arround my design :agreed:

:lol: its the original template to create the mold in which the real pickup is built....

This is the new one for my 9 string... Its machined aluminium cut by CNC... A friend of mine builds it for me after i give him the design sketch...

On my 6 and 9 string pickups I leave those machine marks on the top... for the 7 and 8 string pickups I micro blast them to give them a rough feel on the top... Its incredibly expensive to have a template made :wallbash:

I could yes but they are not standard in dimentions, so you would have to know that you are going to be using them when you build your guitar....
