When I get it all put together and figure out if the bass cut is worth it I'll post a cleaned up diagram, but it's pretty much WYSIWYG the wire bridging between the pickup sides goes to the commons on the switch and if the jumper (blue) touches a terminal it gets soldered.Bookmarked for future reference. A clearer indication of what goes where on the blade switch terminals would be appreciated. Great stuff
Well I’ve been chatting with Pete a lot and he has given me a lot of information so it’s as close as I could get it.The outline and depth definitely reminds me of the Rigel acoustic bass!
I'm glad you were able to make it work. It pretty much always just makes me want to stop playing and give the solo to the pianist. Fortunately it has happened lately.If I heard that, I immediately went to thumb position and played off his bass line. I remember thinking on more than one occasion, so that's how it feels when the bass player walks.
It's a Peavey Millennium Plus from around 2000. I replaced the stock pickups and preamp wanting Lakland tones (OG 55-02 Bartolini's, not the newer Lakland pups) with Peavey ergonomics (smaller body, thinner neck, smaller fretwire) and it's turned out to be a really great bass!This bass looks like a Peavey Cirrus. ??
Lol. Look up my frequent rants on heavy amps with one stupid strap handle.It used to aggravate me to no end that Peavey would make bass combos and other similar sized boxes with that one rubber strap handle on top, just about useless. I knew a few guys that would install the scoop hard side handles on these after they made the cutouts with a scroll saw.
I always used to say all that era Peavey bass amps had all the tone of a box of corn flakes, but OMG you could throw them down three flights of stairs and they always worked, and since they were affordable, it was the starter amp for so many of us.
No one will ever steal this:Thanks for all the replies, everybody. I'm several floors up in my new building, but thankfully there's an elevator. I really don't mind a little weight, the main thing is that I want to get everything inside in one trip, because it's a long walk through the lot, a ways down the hall, and a long wait for the elevator, and then to do it all several times after a long gig and a long drive sounds... tiring. So I'll definitely have a dolly or cart, the trick is now to figure out how to make everything fit.
