Thanks Dave! Just received the Kubicki that enabled you to buy Karl's Limelight! Pleasure to deal with and a top bloke! Cheers Steve

I'll do some careful dismantling and photography tonight to see if that gives us any more clues...

This may be a clue to the circuitry? I've never seen the LED actually light up...

If it doesn't have the recessed socket, the chances are it's post-Matsumoku era. Does it have a serial on the reverse of the headtsock?

Ever seen this before? New bass porn from Aria Japan according to John Taylor's instagram feed.

Oh and this...

Hi Pete, mine doesn't have stacked pots, I'll have to check the switch tonight when I get home. I'm not sure what protective layer you mean on the spare Pete, do you mean the layer on the tape? The PCB inside is brown I think, but I'll check. The one that's in the bass is potted I think. I do have the diagram you have above, and also this one where only pin 7 is left free...

[quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1422465861' post='2673071'] Probably my only regret of late would be trading my black / maple Sadowsky M4 to Karlfer a few Christmases ago... Don't get me wrong, the Fender AVRI '75 is killer, but I do still miss that black beauty! Was an absolute steal in Guitar Guitar in Glasgow as well for only £999.00...!! [/quote] I have your Sadowsky now, she's a beaut. I doubt I'll ever sell her but if I do I'll let you know first... My biggest regret was selling my Ampeg Skunkworks when I was skint a few years ago

This is the spare: This is what's in the bass...

Yeah mine are little black boxes too. I'll get pics up tonight.

I have a SB1000 (1984) and it came with a spare circuit in the hardcase. Is there anyone here who can identify which if either are original? I'll take some photos tonight if you think you could possibly help, it just doesn't have as much punch as I was expecting, it has brand new batteries so I'm wondering if it's the circuit.

[quote name='planer' timestamp='1423175523' post='2681972'] Shouldn't this be in the Daily Awesomeness thread? Amazing :-) [/quote] You're probably right...maybe it deserves a repost over there!?

Miki says it's chrome paint!

i don't know. I'll ask him if he knows...

I know what you mean, one of my mates's has a vile chrome warwick with blue LEDs on the fretboard and it is just plain vulgar, but this looks nice.

Coarse European grass I think. Love how this has turned into a gardening thread already! haha!!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1423132951' post='2681081'] I'd say, look at the size of his garden. [/quote] I think the pics were taken at Yamaha in Spain.

Before you ask, sadly this is not mine, but it does belong to a friend. He is a lucky lucky guy.

This is all types of stunning. I just came over all unnecessary and need to go home and change now...
