And before Purple Chilli, he made Zoot Bass Cabs of which I have 2. The first 1x12's he built back in 2007. He has a secret supply of "helium filled" ply, (or that's how it feels), and the cabs come out really light. He did me an Amp sleeve as well. I think he does still make the odd cabs but not sure he still has his CNC machine. Haven't spoken to him for a bit. He was making flat packed Greenboy kits at one time.

Yep there was. I know Mike well and I'm sure he mentioned they were made in the same factory as the last Nanyo Bass Collections. They were Zoot Chasers I think. This isn't, (wasn't as it's now sold), one of those it's a Custom shop one from mike's fair hands.

😋 OK, one F/S in the Basses For Sale section of this very website.

Yep, it's a P7-5 I think. There's one F/S down below at the moment.

Just bought a Sandberg pre-amp from Dan. Real easy transaction and it was incredibly well packaged to avoid Royal Mail destroying it. Hell of a nice guy and I would not hesitate in dealing with him again.

And it looks like a guitar amp.

My first thought would be that the bass has a 3 year warranty and I'm pretty sure they haven't been out for 3 years so could the original owner not return it to be fixed/exchanged? Second thought is could you have a duff battery? Looking at the control layout I would assume all the coil switching happens before the output feeds a 3 band eq that doesn't have a blend/balance control. Theoretically any 4 knob, 3 eq preamp without a blend will do the job. If you feel competent enough I would be inclined to check it isn't the switch first by routing the output direct to the jack and proving all is well with the pickups/switch.

This is looking like the plan. John, @KiOgon has suggested the same thing. Am waiting a reply from 1 more enquiry and then that's the way I'll go.

Only the 50k is the type I'm looking for. The rest are blend/balance dual pots. Might be worth a call, so I'll see if they can help. I've been in touch with Bartolini, as it's one of their preamps, and they are trying to sort something with Bass Direct.

A500k and I need 2.

The only centre detents are blend/ balance dual concentric.

Thanks for popping in John. Might have to order from the states.😥

Couldn't you just use 2 sections of a 3 Amp Connector Strip? Cheep as chips at 40p. https://www.toolstation.com/connector-strip/p79740

The only centre detent ones they have are blend/balance. Same with Banzai, Mouser, North West guitars, Digikey

Never do. Always either CTS or Bourns.

Cheers, I have had a quick look and there sure are a lot of pots. will have to plow through. Thanks S. That was to be my next move.

The Bass and Treble pots on my Bartolini XTCT need replacing. They are 500K Audio Taper or A500K and have a centre detent. Any idea where I can get 2 x A500Kcd pots, preferably mini ones? I've tried CPC and RS Online and they don't seem to have them.

It's very difficult to see from the picture what each wire is connected to, ie tip/ring/sleeve. Without knowing what each wire does, hard to advise. Could you contact Godin and ask them where each wire should go then it would be easier to comment.

I believe they did.

And another. I

Haven't seen one of these before. Bit of a discussion on FB about it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SGC-NANYO-Bass-Collection-Electric-Bass-5-string-Made-in-Japan-Free-Ship-490v05/173870677296

If you decide not to bother would you let me know? I'm not going to do anything whilst you are trying to sort a deal.

John is notoriously bad at responses to email/pm. I always ring him and he has always answered fairly quickly. He is also extremely happy to sort issues out with his products.
