I tried not to be vain, but I can't help it.  It seems they've made it pretty simple for me, I just have one question about a pot.  The bass/treble pots (middle) are stacked on each other.  The Bass is labeled B50K, the Treble is A50K.  I plan on separating them during the rehouse.  They each have their own solder points on the board, so this will be a simple process, right?  It seems like it would be, I just wanted to check with you guys before I took it apart too much.  Here's some pics:







Thanks guys!

yeah, it looks like it should be pretty easy to swap for the new pots. looking at the second picture from left to right the lugs should be 1,2,3...

Don't expect to separate the two halves of the dual pot and have it still work.  Either use two new pots or stick with the concentric ones.

I planned on replacing the pots, I should have clarified that.  Thanks guys, I'll post a new thread when im done, assuming I don't need more help before then.

Did you manage to finish the re-house? I am thinking of re-housing my Dano Cool Cat Trem. Those little knobs on the top drive me nuts.

If it's too much trouble, I'd like to do it to. Do you have any more pics? completed?

Wow, aesthetics aside, that rehouse looks pretty simple and ought to fit in a 1590B. I look forward to seeing your results.
