I bought a Westone Rail in the 80s and owned it for years, gave it to a co-worker in 2005 when I moved. I asked if he still had it a couple years ago, he said it is the favorite go-to bass at his studio. Found an unmarked Hondo Alien with aluminum neck at the Seattle Goodwill, still considering...

Gail Greenwood blew me away when I saw Belly back in the 90's.

Does the diagram I have of my original wiring look like it would work correctly? Because doing a search, I'm finding so many different wiring schemes, some of which run all wires to the switch, some routing that uninsulated wire along with one of the coil wires to the switch, etc. I'd like...
