Wow lots of awesomeness!
So anyways I just got a super sweet late christmas gift and figured I'd pop it open and take a peek inside.
Just look at that quality tone wood pickguard!

OK, you asked for it!

This is an old FBass Studio 6 I bought several years ago. I've since sold it.

The bass has the old Pe-Eq preamp plus an Alembic filter. Each preamp has its own volume and the bass could be run mono, stereo or split stereo with each pre on a side. Power was via an external battery box or outboard power supply.

The bass came with a 20+ page schematic manual. Whoever did it was a madman!

This is in my '92 Jazz bass plus. Not pretty-- I've changed the insides so many times I got tired of making it look nice. No one will ever see it anyway...Right?...Oops! That's my homemade single transistor preamp hanging out.
It looked even worse before this time when I had installed a 6 position switch for tone with no cap on the first contact, then 4 different value caps and then a direct short to act as a mute switch.

WOW! If anything ever went wrong it seems like it would be easier to just gut it than try and troubleshoot!

Are you kidding sunbeast, that look simple really. Electronics tech dream! Every board can be diagrammed by yourself! Its getting all back in there that scares the electronics tech out of me. There are a lot of people who would be interested in the 20 page schematic for that, just to get ideas.

Not nearly as elegant as some, but complexity is up there.

Exterior shots included for context.

Agreed. I'm considering doing something with quad coils. Does the P vs RP vs split J style wiring change the tone much or at all?

I suspect the reverse P idea might help with the two high strings often having too much zing relative to the E and A. I always wonder why Leo did it "backwards".

I think there are 10 possible hum cancel combos on a quad. How did you end up with those?

The thumbwheels are slick - did not notice that when I saw this post before (thought they were slide switches til I saw the underside).

Very cool johnk!
