  1. Except that the seller doesn't know it's a 2 bands EQ... https://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/1401115081.htm?ca=12_s
  2. https://www.2ememain.be/musique-instruments/instruments-de-musique/guitares-basses/bas-gitaar-curlee-404024146.html
  3. If you want the whole story about these great basses, they were made by Sanox and should wear that name on the "headstock" instead of Leduc. The original preamp was made by Gotoh. If you have the Leduc preamp inside, it's one of the best ever made by ... EBS. The bridge if a real piece of high grade craftsmanship and was also designed by Leduc and made by Gotoh. Christophe is a friend of mine, and as he said, I'm the second hand market price maker as I've owned and sold over the years more than 20 of his basses, maybe 30 or 40 as I literally lost count. GLWYS for this really great bass (if you ever find a 6 strings Logabass, go on, those are incredible value for money).
  4. John Wetton (may he rest in peace, even after that) would have been jalous ! Holy mother of toilet seat, is it possible to be so stupid and selfish ?
  5. In fact, it's even lower, it's £430 GBP.
  6. Everbody knows that Rock died with the arrival of the no future (sic) Punk in 1976. So being a rocker, a punker or even worst a punk rocker in 2018 just makes me laugh or puke, to deserve the last ones view.

  9. The problem is the budget he has which is around £430 GBP...
  10. Is it so hard to say thank you ?
  11. Not me, as this is basically a 5 strings transformed into a 6 strings because of the demand in those days. These were manufactured without knowing what exactly a 6 strings bass was. I would buy a 4 or a 5 strings Aria Pro II, but never a sixer from this period.
  12. That said I already mentioned all values in my first answer.
  13. Good cap values would be 22 nF (nanofarads) for the 250 KOhms and 47 nF for the 500 KOhms, but you can try a 22 nF if you need extra sparkle for the bridge pickup. Did you say it ? The magic word...
  14. Where are you located ? Looks like Portugal. Those old Aria Pro II aren't that bad, but you can get a better bass for that money. Way under 500 Euros is this incredible Harley Benton BZ-6000 NT (tried the 7 strings version) : https://www.thomann.de/pt/harley_benton_bz_6000_nt.htm With the spare money, you can buy some spare strings like these excellent D'Addario's : https://www.thomann.de/pt/daddario_exl1706_regular_light.htm And even a decent case : https://www.thomann.de/pt/gator_foam_case_bass.htm Just a bit more, like this ESP-LTD-B-206SM-NATURAL-SATIN, which is a real good bass for the money (I had one) : https://www.thomann.de/pt/espltd_b206.htm
  15. Did you say it ? So even better than my hand drawing, the DiMarzio wiring diagram simply found on Best Bass Gear : https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=https://www.bestbassgear.com/wiring-diagrams/2017/pj_1v1panv2t.pdf Try to learn how to use the internet, no ?
  16. Looks like a real custom shop design ... after a booze party.
  17. No problem at all. You simply have to route the signal to the LIN tone pots with the values you want for resistors (250 KOhms + 500 KOhms) and the capacitors (22 nF + 47 nF) then go to the balance (2 x 500 KOhms LOG as they are humbuckers) and then the master volume (500 KOhms LOG). Easy, no ? Ok, I'll draw you a wiring diagram later if you repeat 7 times before your mirror "Slim face".
  18. Well done. A lot, but look at my signature and you see that I'm well served with my gear.
  19. If you use the schematic I linked, you still can have both pickups controlled by their own volumes in parallel or series, which would be more useful than the standard series switching transforming your 2 pickups in a single humbucker with coils way too far from each other, thus creating lots of out of phase signal. That said, if you don't try it, you will never know the sound it can produce and maybe never know that you like it. A push-pull or push-push isn't that big money to not give it a try.
  20. Download this and go to page 319, you have all explanations in German, but the schematics are speaking by themselves : http://www.ak-line.com/medium/Bassschaltungen.pdf
