jaybass 70

Got these on my tokai SG bass , lovely strings 

Sorted now Ikay ,, thanks 👍

Thanks bud, I found that pic on Internet but it doesn't relate to mine,, 

My switch is a two way and my pickup has 3 wires not 4 

Hi peeps,, 

I've just took delivery of a new MB1 (3 wire) Rautia pickup for my 1981 SB,

has anyone got a diagram or detailed picture of the wiring ? I'm replacing the pots too so I want to double check that it is wired right in the first place before I start wielding the soldering iron.

Thanks in advance

Just ordered this for a good price Simply SP-028 Electrical Contact Cleaner Maintenance Spray 400m https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OCKZT1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_QHR2E97XMWMN87H1SM05 good stuff , does the job and I'm impressed , just ordered another 2

looks lovely, any pics of the Bridge ? I reckon its a fat chunky brass job ,,,,,, but I've been wrong millions of times before !! 

I'm digging this at the mo

sound, I've had good service from Repro guitar parts, good products too

The Holy Trinity of Japanese high-quality basses around 1980 

Wouldn't the batwing headstock of the SB700 date it older than 1981?

Hi Lefty, 

definitely says its an 81, the serial number starts 109, as far as i,m aware the first digit is the year of manufacture

Here here 👍👍

I love my Japanese Beauty's,

1980 Ibanez Musician 

1981 Aria SB700

1979 Yamaha BB1200

I play in a 1980's Tribute Band  (Hello Felix) so these Baby's serve me well,

Incredible Japanese build quality and attention to detail ......and they stay in tune  ☺️

That Ibby looks and sounds great! Seems like you have a particular 'look' in your basses - would I be right in saying that your Aria SB700 is pretty similar styling wise (ignoring the actual wood finish you've gone for)?

Yes , the aria is a lighter colour , not dark stain like the ibanez, both through necks and very 80s sounding 

heres our eighties band Hello Felix, based in Liverpool, loving my Ibanez Musician Bass at the Moment, I usually use my Aria SB700

Wow! My first proper bass , bought one of these in 1986 from hammersound in birkenhead, if I remember rightly it was a good instrument, 

Thanks for the memory

They are - bought a pair for a project SB Elite B&G and they're spot-on, indistinguishable from the real things. They are plastic (early originals are metal, later ones plastic) but they are excellent reproductions.

Look good , might get a pair for my sb700

Look like good knobs to me

For anyone new to the forum, you won't buy a better cable. 

What the man says, I've had mine for ten years, superb quality

hi Nash, 

Might want to try an octave pedal with a bit of chorus, play it with a pick near the bridge and a bit of EQ
