€50 EUR: EMG 40-HZ (07/08/2022) NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other EEC countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €50 Euros (£45 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! No shipping outside the EEC. In perfect working condition as it's been lightly used. Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get, except the Fluke multimeter! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is lightly used. Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

I had something like 10 of these basses (including Z II and Prism), and on the original fretless (not defretted) models the fingerboard is ebony. These are amazing basses and the Zeta piezo system (as it's a whole system including the special preamp and special V shaped piezos) sounds really really really good. To avoid any further crackling, just push again all the wires (and there are a lot) in the automotive fast connectors and everything will work flawlessly.

Don't forget to star ground all the cavities and shield that bridge pickup one with copper too. 😉

Bent bridge on old Tanglewood Rebel

Bent bridge on old Tanglewood Rebel
Hellzero replied to max_overdrive's topic in Repairs and Technical
Did you first check if the body isn't warped? That bridge looks to be made out of bloody zamac to me, the worst alloy ever.- 14 replies

Also check the Hevos Midget 10, Hevos Super 12 and Hevos Super 12/Tweeter (excellent slot tweeter) as they weight from 10.8 to 12.5 kilos and sound massive and precise. You'll only find them on the second hand market (Public Peace still have very few new pieces of some) as Hevos stopped its activities a few years ago and they retail for the money you want to let go. That said the best option would certainly be a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon cabinet but, new, it's three times your budget...

Here are two opened lid early Tobias electronics (a bit younger than yours), both with a Bartolini TCT preamp, no buffer, and Bob Lee mod. So simply put a TCT (original with TCT embossed would be the best option, but they are very hard to find) preamp with the mid control and the active/passive switch and your bass will back to its origins. The opened lids: And the embossed Bartolini TCT: I certainly have better images of this 80's embossed Bartolini TCT as I had to make a pedal for a customer with that very preamp inside, but I need to turn the PC on and it's late... And remember that Mike Tobias always reverses the bass and treble pots position on his basses, the treble pot being the closest to the neck.

I found this very interesting worthy information on TB: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/80s-tobias-tct-wiring-specs.1467228/

These are the preamps for the MTD basses that run on 2x9 Volts (not exactly 18 Volts as it's a direct +9 Volts and -9 Volts). This link was intended in the case you would want to use the actual preamp. To turn it back to the original preamp, you have to use a Bartolini TCT (your bass is an early one) and a dual buffer like the AGDB/918-2, both working at 9 Volts. Here is what Mike says about the pre-Gibson models: "The original electronics were probably a TCT with some kind of buffer. DTA 1.?, 5 knobs and a switch. We never made basses with a push pull of any kind. that was Gibson or aftermarket stuff people did. The original tr (truss rod) wrench was a 1/4” open end wrench you could buy from any hardware store that is why I left the tr nuts sticking out past the end of the board."

Strange as it's a Bartolini preamp as the ones Mike Tobias put in all his basses. This is not the original for sure as the active/passive switch is now on a push-pull and it's missing the twin buffer, but it's almost like his Bartolini-Tobias preamps. Just wire the switch and replace the push-pull by a standard pot: job almost done and completely done if you add a twin buffer. Check this: https://bartolini.net/builder/mtd/

Nice glass, Paul. 😉 Don't rush and all will be fine.

Paul Belgrado even had one of his records (X-Legged Sally – Killed By Charity) produced by Bill Laswell. Paul is a very nice chap too and a hell of a player for sure. Very refreshing looking bass. 👍
-
It is, indeed. To do the mod, simply carefully unsolder the push-pull pot from the PCB and literally wire the new one. That said a push-push pot is a way better option to me...

Funny, looks like almost nobody reads the bottom of a page or the previous one... And we could say the same about vintage 60's or 70's Japanese instruments, total crap back in the day, most of them made out of plywood and now highly regarded. 🤦🏻♂️ I agree that from the 80's on these Japanese instruments are top quality models better than their American counterparts, but before, come on ... be honest.

What's worse: fluctuating Temp or Humidity?
Hellzero replied to Jamieboy's topic in Repairs and Technical
In the garden office in its case or gigbag will protect it from humidity and temperature changes. -
I love ToneRider pickups which, to me, are as good if not better than boutique ones, for a fraction of the price.

And @ped especially because the 60's models are yet totally out of reach financially speaking for a majority...
