Yes, I meant the turn of 70s/80s, sorry should have been specific there. They are the same pickups, just made in opaque black instead of clear. For the record I think the clear ones look way cooler. Like on my '78 G-3 I agree it's not worth what he wants for it (it's been mucked about with (switches) and needs a good clean), I was just trying to clear up some misconceptions about the pickups.

The things you point out are more than likely switches to allow individual pickup switching (original setup was a 3 way with bridge+middle, all three, neck+bridge). The pickups changed from being made in clear covers to black around the turn of the decade.

Thanks. [/quote] Confirmed with a look inside my Indonesian Tribute L-2000: Volume and Treble - A250K, Bass - 1M Doesn't make any sense to differ electronically when the pickups are the same as the USA models and the preamp is a direct copy.

I seem to be giving someone in the audience the evils? I didn't think I was, but never mind!

[/quote] 4 basses (one in a hard case, rest in gigbags), 1 bag of ironmongery/accessories, one or two 5 instrument stands.

No regrets so far, I'm pleased to say.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='806013' date='Apr 14 2010, 01:29 PM']Yeh i was planning on keeping them. think i've got that bit covered. Now on the input jack it shows 3 bands, Ground, - Battery and Output. The one supplied wont fit the bass so planning on keeping the one in it, but this only has connections for tip & ring. How do i go about this, just connect to the same part as the ring?[/quote] No, you need a stereo jack with tip, ring and sleeve. The spare one connects the battery earth to the rest of the earthing only when the jack is inserted (the mono plug makes the connection between ring and sleeve). You'll need to get a stereo barrel jack socket to replace the mono barrel jack socket you have currently. This is because if you connect the battery earth to the same terminal as the signal earth, the battery will be permanently on. It'll work, but you'll be replacing batteries a lot more often than you'd like. There's a good guide to their replacement (on G&L basses) here: [url="http://www.bassesbyleo.com/jack_replacement.html"]http://www.bassesbyleo.com/jack_replacement.html[/url]

Are you looking to retain the mini toggles (which I presume perform some kind of coil switching/tapping function)? If so, just treat the output from those switches as the pickups outputs.
