Picked up a Magnum II this weekend in decent shape. With batteries in it's picking up radio signals quite strong especially when the hand is on the bridge or strings. I didn't mind too much since it was Johnny Cash, lol...and 2 other stations. Clearly the electrics will need work.

The gain and volume pots were in a sad state, cutting in and out and crackling. In fact paying $50 was a gamble since I didn't get to hear it in real action prior to purchase. It came from a 2nd hand/surplus store. I pulled out the head, opened it up, and cleaned all of potentiometers with...

I just picked up a 400B for $50. Reconditioned it and now it looks better and sounds great. Thinking that it's going to replace my Ampeg BA115.

Old thread, since there's like virtually no info out there besides pdf ads... I just picked up one of these from a local St. Vincent thrift store here in Eugene. I was perusing the stereo components and my hair stood on end when I saw the wording Bass guitarist 101B and the controls. I think I...

I too am looking to a definitive diagram on the best way to wiring a VVTT w/3-way selector toggle. Did you find a good one?

Just found this group by accident. As others have said, I definitely belong here. I feel that I suck, others disagree. I just can't get my body to do anything like the virtuoso players. I've tried. My fingers are dumb and my mental hiccups just handicap everything. Although, "expensive" is...

Mine was having issues with buzzing and cutting out. So that's the rationale behind me wanting to change it to a passive setup. I just opened mine up and the red wires from the pups are not connected. However, the ends of the wires may have been contacting metal. Anyway, I think what I'm going...

...4years later... Hey did you ever make this mod? I really want to do this to mine (to wire it to be V/V/T/T) and would love any info you can share.

Thanks so much for all the input. Will stay away from that fake for sure.

Someone actually made fake Spectors? Yeesh 😬 It's got all the signs of a passive Performer series except I'm not sure that Performers were ever made as neck-thru.

I need help identifying/authenticating a, what the seller calls a "Spector styled bass", on sale locally. He seems to think it's a clone. I'm not so sure, but have questions regarding unmarked pups, truss-rod cover, and the simple bridge. What do you think? The serial is NB12870 Made in the...

I just picked up one of these for $120 and didn't hear the hiss until I brought it home. Pulled the driver, reattached the cardboard port extension on the inside with glue, pulled the wires off the driver and tweeter and zip tied them to the barrel thingy (yes, I have no idea what that...

*SOLD*

It's approx. 16mm or 5/8" measured at the first pickup. Also want to mention that these strings only have 4hrs max playing time on them. Bought in the last 2 yrs.

Thanks TD! I found the following site that gave more detailed info, but I was still unsure where it fell in the timeline: Invalid Link Removed
