    Replying to myself. Found a wiring diagram over at Talkbass that helped. 1) and 2) are not needed as everything should be grounded via the control plate 3) Who knows As for my options, I've discounted a) - checked continuity from jack ground, tone pot to control plate and all is good. So I'm going to re-wire it and change out the pots and see how that suits me.
  2. d4tux started following Squier VMJ: Hum and "different" wiring
  3. d4tux
    I've just finished shielding the cavities of my Squier VMJ with some copper tape to help reduce hum. Checked continunity between cavity/bridge, cavity/control plate, control plate/bridge and all looks good. The hum is still there though.... While I had the control plate off I noticed that the wiring is quite different to a standard jazz bass: 1) Jack ground isn't connected to anything 2) Tone pot ground isn't connected to the other pots (bridge ground is attached to tone pot though) 3) Tone pot connections are reversed (Cap in middle, Hot on outside) Any ideas why it was wired this way? Appears to be standard for VMJ's as I've got a fretless which is wired exactly the same way. I'm wondering whether I should: a) Connect all grounds to the jack ground b) Just re-wire the whole thing like a standard jazz (and maybe upgrade the pots in the process) Advice appreciated!

    Looking for £200ono for my Squire VMJ Fretless. I bought this from Mansons music in Exeter a few years ago and have only played it once or twice. Selling as it's much better for it to be with someone who will play it than gathering dust in my guitar cupboard No major dings, one minor scratch that should polish out - I'll have a go myself this evening. Collection from Taunton, Somerset preferred. Shipping will be £20 Photos: https://goo.gl/photos/kWG2LTewgzSaG1yu5

    Bought from Absolute Music for £235 in Sept 2013. [url="https://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/ebs-classic-session-60-bass-combo-amplifier.html"]https://www.absolute...-amplifier.html[/url] These currently sell for around £210 new. Save £50 and grab a bargain! This is a great little amp thats only seen a few hours of light use in the last two years. Playing bass has taken a back seat for now as our little one is growing up (and demanding more space!) Collection from Taunton, Somerset preferred - I might be able to take it as far as Bristol for a contribution towards petrol. Cash on collection, PayPal or Barclays PingIt accepted.

    Mods - please delete. This is a duplicate of http://basschat.co.uk/topic/268347-fs-ebs-classic-session-60-bass-combo/ It happened when I went via Paypal to pay to put items up for sale.

    [size=5][b]**FOR SALE*** Ashdown EB 15-180 - £130ono[/b][/size] Full Specs [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20071019183455/http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=eb&ID=103"]here[/url] Bought from BC'er a year or so ago, this is a great amp. Enough punch to cut through in rehearsals/small gigs and a nice tone. Selling due to down-sizing, so grab yourself a bargain. I'd prefer collection due to size/weight/packaging and I'm willing to meet in Bristol or Exeter if it's more convenient. If you have any questions, please get in touch. -- Dave

    Bought an OC-2 from Scott. Great price, communication etc.. It arrived today and I'm loving it. Thanks!

    Final Price Drop - £100 Would rather this go to a BC'er than somebody on evilBay... Go on.. Grab yourself a bargain. Would make an ideal 1st bass or backup bass.

    Nice protoype... I love the idea of a driftwood body. It would be really light and I'm intrigued as to how it would sound. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

    Thanks for the nice comments! [quote name='GregHughes' timestamp='1330816214' post='1563490'] I went to Mansons today as I was visiting my in laws and we met up in Exeter. Never been there before but great shop. Wall to wall guitars. [/quote] Its a small world... You weren't looking at the American Deluxe and Marcus Miller Jazz's by any chance? [quote name='Master blaster' timestamp='1330863323' post='1563869'] My credit card seems to like the card machine in mansons. [/quote] Mine too. I always end up buying more than I go in for... [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1330863711' post='1563875'] You're a very naughty boy! I'd never get away with it. [/quote] I very nearly didn't get away with it... as the Mrs was with me, I had to make the case as to why I needed two basses on-the-fly. My attempt at explaining the merits of both fretted and fretless didn't work. But we somehow came to the agreement that if I hang them on the wall then they won't take up floor space
