Have you tried bridging the effects loop in and out sockets with a short patch cable? Very often the contacts are corroded through lack of use, and interrupt signal flow. Worth a try.

The Nightfly KILLS.

I think it is.

Wow, very handsome body. Where did you get it from, may I ask?

Earth Wind and Tire.

It looks like the joint where the headstock section is scarfed to the main part of the neck. I'm very surprised to see that joint fail. Great basses, btw.

Yamaha NTX3 player here. Nicely made hybrid that plays very well, with a slightly thinner body that a regular classical. The pickup system is very good, with subtle but useful EQ.

I have one of these. I think the pickups in these are P-style splits inside. I just tested this theory by using an Allen key on top of the pickups. Definitely more pull on one long edge than the other on the treble side, and reversed on the adjacent pair of bass strings. hope this helps.

Colour me interested

There is also a mod for the Sub series original preamps, which were very hot. It doesn’t look very difficult, and I have a schematic if you’re interested. I haven’t done it but it’s because I’m heart lazy.

Chowny SWB-1?

I have a Yamaha BBG5 and it is a fine bass, and great value for money. A nice narrow nut and plenty of bark.

As suggested above, try this email address: [email protected] The guy who replied to my particular enquiry was Huw Lloyd-Williams. Despite the email address he is in the UK.

Aw, look at that. My baby. Gone to a good home.

Dougie is a gentleman and I look forward to his future contributions to Basschat from Scotland’s second city, Edinburgh 😉
