  1. Also align your pots and rescrew them firmly.
  2. If you don't do that, it won't work, as the white wire coming out of the red one is the hot output from the two volumes. Just follow the wires, the bare one being the ground. With that in mind, you will be able to follow the wiring diagram above. That said, it seems that the wiring is a tad messy with some mistakes...
  3. Some of us have been fooled by that jacket (including me), but the bass presented in the original post is fully stock. 😉
  4. No need to worry about the very optimistic price here too. 🤦🏻
  5. As well as the output of two volumes too and the opposite lug must not be grounded.
  6. Nice, indeed, congratulations.
  7. This can't work at all, as your tone control is wired like a volume... 🤦🏻 If you don't understand the diagram above, take this bass to a friend of yours who knows what he's doing electronically speaking or to a repair shop. It's not that complicated, but will take a lot of time to explain remotely.
  8. After the snake oil, the vitamin Q for capacitor. 🤦🏻🤔🫨 While correcting all the electronic mess in a bass I acquired recently, I noticed this...
  9. Maybe you'll find something there: http://www.doublebassfingertape.com/
  10. There is a new member recorded on the 31st of January, but nothing newer than that...
  11. Check these two "analysis" videos too:
  12. I found this old article @BassByBeck, might be a very interesting reading for you and a good starting point to get that Mark King early tone: http://www.gazzbass.com/articles/articles.aspx?ID=5 By the way, don't worry about thread derailing, it's BassChat's signature. 😉
  13. Especially when the gig wasn't that great... Happened to us a few times.
  14. Utter bullshít bad marketing strategy: The transition logo appeared when the acknowledgement to sell or buy, depending where you are, the company was official, so very late 1964 to very early 1965, not 2 to 3 years before. 🤦🏻 Quite expensive for what it's not and I agree with the refinish, Tony.
  15. Looks like good news @LeftyJ...
  16. Take a photo, it will be easier to help you... 😉
  17. I guess you mean wenge neck and/or fingerboard as a full wenge instrument would be so heavy... That said, I'm with you concerning tonewood. 😉
  18. So, if I understand it correctly, Mark is using his Jaydees again nowadays, because he doesn't need an apostrophe. Right? Ultra pedant revenge. 😉🫨🤔🤦🏻😂
  19. I own a Producer backpack and I can put my HeadRush Core in one pocket and a huge laptop with a big A3 size book (yes A3) in the two inside "pockets" plus a volume control pedal in the side pocket, loads of cables and accessories in the front pocket, a smartphone in the other side pocket, ... so a lot of things. And it's easy to handle or wear on your back.
  20. The original Fender Precision Bass had bakelite or even wood saddles...
  21. I'm waiting patiently for the Apostrophe Police to come...
