Amy trades? 

Is this a Version 1 or 2? 

Still available? 

Just what I always wanted 

Nice 

Always wanted one of these 

Anyone know any couriers who will cover full cost for damage not sent in a hard case? 

PM sent

I thought this was going to be an Old 70s/80s Musicman... But it's literally a Vintage haha...

How heavy is the Vintage?

I'll weigh it when I get home but certainly doesnt feel heavy 

Taken in part exchange, this is a lovely Vintage brand Musicman copy in Sunburst with a maple neck and fretboard.

It has the usual marks expected for a bass of its age. It came strung, but they were particularly old so they were taken off.

Plays nicely 

Well known quality of Vintage branding.

Bad bits:

Nut needs looking at for the G String

Needs 3 knobs for the volume and tone pots - a pittance on eBay

Local collection only please as I do not have anything to to send this in. Grab a bargain!

Love this........such a shame no cash

Still available?

It isn't that difficult. If you feel confident doing the 2 volume wiring, it shouldn't give you much trouble. I probably have some suitable wiring diagrams and will dig them out later. 

Magic.......I would really appreciate that

You could always replace one of the vol controls with a Single/Series/Parallel switch. That way you get instant switching between the coils and only the 1 Vol control to worry about.

Now that sounds good......is it something a basic person like me could work out? Also any wiring diagrams about for this?

Try it, you might like it in parallel!

Think I'll give it a whirl.....I can always resolder it back again

Cheers for your help with that - first dabble with the electronics and thought I'd been done when i saw the wires disconnected!

Thanks for that reply Paul.........it is passive with no battery box in place.........am i right in saying then that it would right to just leave it as it is wired already in this case?

I have a Tanglewoord 5 string Stingray copy that has 3 knobs and the input on a control plate:

The first knob does nothing, the second adjusts volume and the third adjusts tone. On opening the plate up I am presented with this:

The red and white wire on the left are soldered together, but not soldered to anything.

I am guessing that this is why the knob doesn't function.

Am I right in thinking that this is a connection from the pickup that controls volume for one of the coils?

Where should I resolder this to on the pot? directly onto it or one of the 3 legs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mike sold me a Nanyo Bass. He was very thorough with the sale, very friendly with excellent comms.....tracking was provided and the bass was sent out extremely well packaged and promptly. Buy with confidence!

Martin sold me a Hartke HA3500 amp. I messaged asking about postage costs and we then agreed a sale. Communications were good and item has been packaged up awaiting collection as soon as I paid..........super speedy, very polite and a very helpful chap

Wish I had the cash......Th is is my birth year and the last bass I need to have
