Just wondering if Biesele pickups are still available?

Wanted to ask if this amp is still for sale :) And have another question, can it be powered by 220V? Or only 120V? It should be written in the back of the amp according to my knowledge. Could you please drom me a message (I'm not able to do that since I can't see your profile)? I'm interested...

Is it actual?

Nice and interesting preamp which can be adjusted to the player needs. Built this and like how it sounds, but wanna try some other values as well. I'm also comparing the schematics with some Baxandall passive tone controls, and it's not exactly the same. Just for the reference, James tone...

People who know what they want from the bass from the wiring perspective won't find a suitable instrument in the market, but they could mod them instead. There are so many wiring options even for 2-pickup instrument. On the other hand, CIJ controls might be overkill for beginners or people who...

No way to choose bridge / neck pickup only?

If you're asking what kind of battery box is used on Fender Jaguar basses, it's Gotoh BB-04.
