The fact that 500k pots were used instead of 250k prolly fubard the capacitance in any case.. gonna rebuild from sctratch.

Thats great, looks much more logical than the present lash up! Better dust off the iron the caps i suspect are OG and are super hard to read

Hello chatters! I have an issue that i have been living with for a while with my old gal but have decided to investigate, so I pulled the guts out of her to see what’s up and the electrics are clearly not original and are wired in such a way That The bridge tone is all treble immediately and it’s been that way since I had it so I am wondering if whoever rewired it fudged it or if one of the caps might just be dead ? Any wiremen here have a scoob? I have looked for the OG harness and the Hoff VT Classic i found looks nothing like mine plus the caps are diff values. Any thoughts? pls excuse my horrible diagram.

Brilliant, thanks. well, it looks like I’m gonna have to get one of those then 💸 one can never have too many envelope filters to be fair 🤩

Nice one thanks 🫡

Just got the Flatley Filtron from Mr Spector. A perfect transaction in every way. thanks very much 🤘

She lives! The ole dry solder joint and that was all, not bad for 1983 tronics

Just got the Mr Black FwonkBeta from MrD, its now time to Fwonk the neighbours evening! top man, a gentlemen and a bassist. see you in the welly! thanks P4ul

That is amazeballs! Actual schematics!

Dave is super helpful, good shout

Thanks for the replies. I know it’s a longshot and I know that a lot of people have taken out the old preamps because they do die of old age. but the thing is it’s part of the sound of the base and I’m not sure that there’s anything quite as tonally mad out there to replace it 😀 Would like to see if I can keep it going

I think my pre amp finally died.. new batteries and still the noises of doom. fine on the passive op. any one know of a tech that might be able to diagnose a million year old french board?

Got a reverb pedal from Pete. perfect in every way. thanks Mr Fleabag 🤘

Brought 2 pedals from the G man.. Great deal Nice bloke Amaze packaging Pedals better than described Very happy 10 points.

Changed my mind... I do want to be inna a "band" "collective" "beat combo" sadly I think my playing style is way younger than my actual body. any other old guys out there mashing up hendrix, zep and gong with the BUG, flowdan, chase and status and tyler the creator?

Did you find any one mad enough? I really like the demos btw riffs for all religions is a badass cave dweller of a thing

oh dear, oh dear.
