Cream T Whiskerbuckers + Relish mount

Grampa · September 2023

Bit of a long shot but I'm fitting a set of 2 cable Whiskerbuckers to Relish quick change mounts and can't find any wiring details. If it's the same as a Duchess P90 then shield to pin 1 and hot to pin 4. Can anyone please confirm?
Many thanks

You are correct

You're welcome - I cooked that up to make my life easier

You have to be so damn careful not to get too much heat into those relish bases - so easy to met the contact out of the plastic

I ALWAYS use a flux pen first to make it super easy to get the solder to stick to the contacts

I then tin a small dot of solder onto each of the 4 contacts - I use a 3.9% silver solder as it gives a way better result and is way easier to work with (more expensive for sure but i get a reliable result)

I also don't use the big tip iron for those - too much of a reservoir of heat and easy to melt the resin that holds the pins and have them rise up out of the plastic .

I use my Hakko fx-888D iron although if i had an Antex XS25 with a small pointy tip I would happily use that
