good ideas there...thanksTonegeek wrote:how about using copper nails (used in boat building) pounded into plywood for a breadboard? You can throw it together quickly and then tack solder your parts to it for testing. I have done a proof of concept and it works (the nails are solid and take solder), but I have never actually used it.
One thing I do when tweaking new builds is to put certain parts in place but not solder them. Then i will take toothpicks, straws, or pieces of wire and wedge them into the eyelets with the parts to hold them while I measure voltages, or listen to the tone. Caution, this can be dangerous so make sure the parts dont spring out of the eyelet with the power on. This works best when using a new board that has never been soldered.

Re: Breadboard Stuff
You are a freakin' genius! If you were closer I'd buy you a drink. Tried this tonight while tweaking the never-ending Traynor Bassmate to I'm-not-sure-yet conversion. Worked like a charm! Dunno why I didn't think of it myselfTonegeek wrote: One thing I do when tweaking new builds is to put certain parts in place but not solder them.
