Warman Firebucker II... They are a Blade pickup.. was recommended by Warmen when i was considering a pair for my Ric-o-like... If you fit a pickup ring it will cover the whole J hole... Listed as priced pair, but might do individual.

I'd have a quick look on Gumtree and Faceache see whats local 'n cheap... £40-£60 may snag something for a clean and quick sorting? Or a Cheaky £80 offer on some think like this? https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/left-handed-tanglewood-warrior-ii-bass/1454364271

I think the post is about Guitar Straps... Not Jock Straps...

If... you don't need to By-Pass You could link pins on the back of the switch for Always-On

A good solder-sucker is needed. And care not to over heat the tracks heating the pins removing the old one... Prolly take a few visits to each pin and a bit of leavering out. Saying that a good solder sucker and precision could clear each pin first time. If ya were local i'd give it a go for you.

Swapping a switch out is easy... a pic would be good. Wires or PCB Mounted? And where are you bassed(!)

Had the same on an old SR600... https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/plastic-spring-washers-for-bass-keys-between-button-and-housing-8-pieces-white

'cept the heel... discounted to £329 https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-40th-anniversary-precision-bass-vintage-edition-maple-fingerboard-satin-vintage-blonde/951657

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174873768968 Son's Ibby GSR200 'Trainer' Bass, he is now on an Unlined Fretless... Aria Pro Jazz to PJ Conversion...

Marshall Fan... Intrigued by a Harley Benton badged Joyo British Sound cheap on the bay... The font on the Oxford is fine, and i get the Orange box, but... Font on the others in the range is shite, and I don't get the pink? So 'twas out with the orbital sander and sticky letters for that 80's Electronic Engineering Apprentice vibe... I'll give it a go plug in the FX return tommorow.

@AndyTravis Great looking stylish bridge on that Yam... Like some 50's American Car Door Handle, or Bulb Cover... Cool and the Gang... Now just think if that was a styling cue on the Fender Jazz... If it was't Yam logo'd i'd be seeking one or two out fir bitsa's... elegant.

Or save a packet... or enough to swap pups 'n pre if ya really need to...

Can't beat a good mod... again BIG thanks to@Andyjr1515 It's had a couple of rub overs with furniture wax while watching the telly... It is Woody, Curvey, Sleek 'n Simple and so Organic feeling and Sounding.

Not a lot without messin with the finish. Standard Panel hole size so maybe a blanking plug... as for the batt box hole... empty batt box... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175210436296

I was going to post a whitty quip... asking if there is an issue with the soft-close lid or recommending Pimlico Plumbers... but that would be of no help what so ever..

Cheap tuners on cheap basses can be feel rough, but a quick go with some coppa slip on the worms, and a good few turns to remove plating flashing and improve the mesh, then a clean and dab of vaseline can work wonders... not Schaller wonderful, but a great improvement, especially when a set of tuners can be a third of the price of say a Harley Benton... along with a smooth and pencil lead in the nut slots. And the recent post on High Mass v BBOT and tone was an eye opener, me preferring the BBOT... often an upgrade is for the eye. Saying that the likes of Wilkinson, Tonerider, Entwistle, Maida Vale etc at the lower end pickup price point, can breath new life in to a lagging purchase for £20ish.
