Thanks for the replies. Yes Moonbass I have some IC holders and had thought of doing this. I know the TL062 is used on the three band MM preamps, so I don't know if a dual is required for this or not, my electronics knowledge is zilch. The reason I opened this thread was t see if anyone said either the TL062 will not work with the original pre-EB board, or avoid it like the plague or some such advice. I actual gigging difference will be so minimal I think I will stick to the LM. Any other advice will be gratefully received. Thanks

Can anyone tell me what the difference in sound and performance is between an LM4250CN chip and the TL062 chip, as used on Stingrays? I am doing an S'Ray rebuild ( 2 band) and have the option of either chip. I know the TL062 is used on the three band preamp, would it work on the two band ? Would it sound different, better or worse? I know that is a subjective thing, so not a good question, but any opinions would be good to hear!

Can anyone tell me a source for threaded bushes for a pre EB S'Ray repair? I need the two bridge bushes ([size="2"]5/16-18", not sure if this is UNF or UNC, probably the latter ) and three pickup bushes ( I do not know the thread size for these[/size]). Any help gratefully received. Brian

This is my third attempt to obtain some info. Quite some time ago Uncle Fluffy put out some really good pcbs for home-build S'ray preamps, I bought three. I had fun installing them in my basses. Those basses have now found new homes. I am now trying to obtain one more board. I have pm'd Uncle F. but received no reply. Has anyone out there got one of these boards they are prepared to let go? If yes I would be so happy I would probably take the wife out !! Brian

Perfect ikay ! You are a star! Thank you for taking the time to reply. You make the world a better place. Brian

Hi again. Does this wiring mean I cannot retain the function of my p/up selector switch? I know the two vols. really negate it but I would like it if I could keep this working for swift tonal changes. What do you think?

Hi ikay, thank you very much for this quick an precise reply, I really am most grateful, will do this and with a dual con 500K pot, if it does not turn out as I would like I can easily return it to the original config. Excellent, and thanks again. Brian

Hi. I have a very sweet Ibanez RS924. Though I enjoy the p/up & control config. I am wondering if it could be re-wired to give the std. JB 2 Vol 1 tone in passive mode (via a dual con. pot.) without loosing the active bass & treble cut/boost option. I have attached the wiring diagram for any advice that can be given, and that will be gratefully received. Brian

Thanks[u] warwickhunt [/u], [b]??[/b] (where you the bassist with The Two Hats?) , I'll get some wax. Somebody told me there was a luthier trick with a magnet to determine the proximity of a trussrod to the back of the neck, but I have forgotten what it was!

Hi. I have a German made Corvette double buck. 2008.For some reason the neck wood is protruding very slightly from the fingerboard on the bass side and also the centre piece of the neck, around the 12 fret. I have the skills to rub this down but I am unsure what will happen to the neck finish, which I assume is oiled. Has anyone out there rubbed a WARWICK down ? Also I would like to slim the neck a bit but again am unsure how much wood is below the truss rod.Any advice ?

Is my face [u]RED[/u] !!! The centre position on the $$ micro switches[u] IS[/u] single coil. Ok, no choice of which coil but I do not think there will be a noticeable difference. So ignore this topic, and take my advice.......try to stay on small side of 70. Anyone for a GAGA holiday?

Hi I am looking for advice and opinions on fitting a coil splitting switch to the front MEC pickup of my Corvette 4$$. Ideally would want a 3position switch to give single front coil/ original configuration/ single rear coil. Does anyone want to tell me how to wire it and if I should anticipate any hum problems? What do you think

Hi. Anyone out there can tell me how to wire coil splitting switches to a Warwick Corvette $$ ? I want to be able to switch either pick up to single coil, with a choice of which coil in both pickups. I presume a 3 position DPDT switch, centre OFF, will be required for each pickup, so that I can retain the orginal configuration. Any advice please ?

I think I meant great stuff . Brian

Thank you for the prompt replies, reat stuff. brian

Hi. I am hoping someone out there can educate my addled brain on this subject of impedance matching. Basically I have a signal path through units as follows: Preamp output 10K ohms.....to.....Greater than 500K ohms effects input.......to........1K ohms effects output.......to......10K ohms power amp input. The question is, do I need to have matching transformers at any stage or can I just link it up as is ? Any help on this will be welcome, but not too technical please, "I look like a farmer but I [u]am[/u] a farmer", to mis-quote Bo DidIey. Brian

Thank you, sorry about the delay in answering. I now have the prog. on my computer but though the Superfly is found by the computer the Editor cannot see it. I cannot get I to go online. Anybody with ideas?

Hi. Does anybody have the Ashdown Superfly Editor programme on disc or in a form they could pass on to me? My Windows XP went down & now I have a new computer with XP, but no Editor programme !!. I know it is old tech. but I still find it useful. Any help on this gratefully received.
