[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Does the massive YAMAHA logo or headstock shape help identify this bass and it's age? Thanks, Bud

Wow! Just seeing this now! I snagged that 5er today. Couldn't resist. I did some research too.....for the money, a sweet deal...and today was some kind of Super Special Deal Day.....$150. Great neck, super light. Not too crazy bout the lines, but not gonna complain. Old Craigslist does come...

I've been playing along to Undun lately. Super good tune!

There is a little known gem on E-Bay for the next 2 hours 18 minutes......5 String Fender MB5. Current price $200. GREAT bass ....prob. mid '90s.....Japanese built. Unconventional headstock for a Fender. I have one or the E-bay MB5 would be mine. This bass is incredible sounding, built well...

Got 2 new mini 500K Bourns pots almost a month ago.....when they arrived I got so upset I shoved the whole bass project into the corner! Each pot has only ONE flat nut. To adjust the pot for proper height to attach knobs you need one nut under and one nut over the pickguard. Why on earth would...

I'm gonna take a G string off another bass and see if that makes a diff. Sure would be great if that is the solver! Bud

Hey guys! This stumps me! I have a beautiful '73 Fender Jazz. In attempting to set the intonation I have a problem......the saddle screw on the G string is screwed out to the point that the saddle is almost to fall off, but the intonation is still flat! I have no more adjustment left! What's up...

OK, no help from anyone yet, but I have another part of the puzzle.....looked carefully at how the pickups were wound. I can tell the solder point where the wire winding begins and the solder point where the wire ends (one wire tucked under, one wire flush with the outer windings). Does that...

I don't believe myself. Send off my '73 Fender J pickups for rewind to Lindy Fralin. Got em back and am totally confused on how they solder back in.....I had marked where the white and black wires connected with a small black marker pen....of course, those marks came back rubbed off. So help me...

Just to be absolutely sure..in the photo I will run line C from top pot's risistor side to bottom (volume) pot's To-Ground contact. Volume pot has cap between center (wiper contact) and left contact (risistor track, or whatever you call it the wiper runs over)........right? Soon as you answer...

Thanks Lineman6....I'll chew on what you sent me.........In the illo you sent me the to-ground prong off each pot is the one on the far right as I look at the illo........right? Also, the A and B wires at the mini switch....is it necessary that those wires are soldered across both contacts each...

Please take a look at this drawing of my JP90 wiring and see if you see any problems......not sure it was right when I got it. Thanks, Bud

Thanks for the SD site, but my JP90 is V T with an on-on-on mini switch........which I could show you if I could find a way to get the attachment to show! Could someone e-mail me and I can send them a drawing of what I have...no scam here....I need the help...Thanks, Bud...

Link RemovedOK.....got everything I need to do a pot and cap change to this Fender JP90, but the old wiring doesn't look right, and this is my first attempt at repair under the hood. Please take a look at the attachment I'm sending and let me know what you think....I'm not even sure wires are...

Aw! Line6man........hello. Thanks, I may shoot you guys a quick drawing of how I'm wiring this baby. Not sure what I see under the hood is the way it is suppose to be. Someone has done some lousy soldering too......Bud
