this is what AI has to say: "504" on an inductor is a value code: it means 50 × 10^4 nH = 500,000 nH = 500 µH. The first two digits (50) are the significant figures. The third digit (4) is the multiplier as a power of ten (10^4) in nanohenries. So 50 × 10^4 nH = 50 × 10,000 nH = 500,000 nH =...

thanks Lancia! i'm quite sure it is not a capacitor but an inductor. the thing is certainly wound with copper wire and the marking on the PCB shows this symbol: if the number on your part is 504 it could mean something like 50.4µH if i look at this chart below:

it had broken off . i don't see a way to solder it back on.

i own an early bass model BOSSA OB-5 which has a faulty PCB. the part broken is an inductor of some kind. the electronics for the BOSSA basses at the time were made by a Korean company called Tuneguitars unfortunately they are not responding to emails and there...
