    For those interested, here is the module used in the Sumo: Do your homework now. 😉

    Yes, it was. Furthermore here is the third reason: Your pickups have black bottom (the plate receiving the magnets) when the American ones have grey bottom with a stamped 6 digits code ending with 82. Check this original 1982 American JV pickup Jazz Bass pickup (with plastic wires that may have been changed at some time):

    Oops... 🤦🏻

    By the way, there's a screw missing on the bridge...

    @bremen I guess it's to make it look like an original stacked knobs. 😉

    Very nice looking carbon fiber effect, that said...

    This is the typical sound of a PWM power supply. I guess when putting it back together, the negative of the battery and the ground have been reversed on the output jack of your bass.

    Yours are Japanese for at least two reasons: First, they have plastic wires, not cloth wires. Second, they have coloured plastic tape around the coil, not a bare coil.

    Lovely ! 😍 GLWYS.

    I was waiting for this @tauzero... 😉

    @Beer of the Bass I forgot the best PIL album called Album or CD depending the support.

    The instruments were made by the brand named Sound of Sweden, which was a branch of FBT that made the Hellborg amp line too. You forgot the Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Signature strings @itu. 😉

    So Jonas Hellborg gets the glittering price...

    He played with: John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane, Bill Laswell, Tony Williams, Mattias IA Eklundh, Buckethead, Trilok Gurtu, Michael Shrieve, Ginger Baker ... and Kollektiv was one of his project as well as many others... Plus another 15 or more albums elsewhere in the house or on other shelves. I'm a big fan...

    The pickups were provided directly from Fender USA, so they had cloth wires. It was also the Dan Smith era, so all was way more rigorous than under CBS or even Leo Fender supervision.

    This one has American CTS pots from 1982, which seems quite logical as it's a stacked knobs, so now you've seen the 3 variants.
  17. Hellzero
    The pots on the P-Bass of your mate are American CTS, but the codes to date them are under the solders... Only the very first examples of the JV series had American pots, but they were branded Fender and not Squier.

    @rhokuza, your bass wasn't made the same day, only the neck was, so you can't compare the two basses as they may be different models. 😉

    That's good for sure.

    Sad news, my deepest condolences to the family.

    High distortion amps, just kidding. It's, in a very simplified way, a class C and a class B amp working together, giving a better efficiency at the price of added distortion, but if they managed to control the distortion, they can indeed become very powerful...

    Okay, I get it. I would say no as quite often these contain huge amounts of sugar. I prefer to use these extracts as gemmotherapy (buds therapy) as it's way more efficient. This is the brand I use as gemmotherapy, and you only need 5 to 15 drops a day: https://www.easypara.co.uk/blackcurrant-bioes-30ml-herbalgem.html

    As I wrote, if the shielding is not fully grounded, it's totally useless...

    Sorry I don't get the second phrase...
