    EBMM reflex & 25th Anniversary Club

    Sorry Guys - I am very late to the party...... Literally just bought this last night, in fact apart from a quick look over and check it functioned, haven't really looked at it. Been busy - but will spend the next little while having a good look. I was googling trying to find out about them and...

    Darkglass 2x12 vs GK 2x12 vs Others

    The only issue with the GR Cabs (Carbon Fibre over 'composite') is that while light weight - and I agree these Cabs sound fantastic (I had a GR410+) - don't bump it, or drop it, or drag it. The corners fall off, the composite falls out, the feet fall off.

    Official Fender MIJ/CIJ club here!

    Very nice - I have a Fender P-Lyte almost the same in tobacco sunburst. Any chance you could send me clear pics of your wiring in the back? I know very hard to tak pics - but I am having problems where my battery is lasting only a couple of hours so must be bleeding out (no plug in it)

    Wiring Diagram Precision Lyte Mahogany 1987

    Ahh I have a P-Lyte Std, I believe it is a 2000, but could be wrong. It has a battery bleed issue in that a new battery only lasts a short time (no, not plugged in). I think someone has botched some wiring inside. If anyone on here has a wiring diagram, or pics of a working STD - would be...

    Fender MIJ P-Lyte - PUPS, Pre-Amp and Wiring

    Did a thorough check. Seems to be wired s per your diagram, hard to tell with the ribbons between the pre-amps. Another problem I forgot to mention is that compared to all (even passive) other Basses, it is very quiet. I have a Yamaha Mixing desk, and most basses are set around the 3 mark...

    Fender MIJ P-Lyte - PUPS, Pre-Amp and Wiring

    Thanks Crater, Will have a look at it today and see if it follows that pattern. Just to confirm, I haven't actually pulled anything out yet, just pulled the cover off, took a look and thought "need a diagram" :-) I learnt years ago that the lead needs to be out when not in use, so that isn't...

    Fender MIJ P-Lyte - PUPS, Pre-Amp and Wiring

    Dear All, have read several posts on here, dating back centuries... :) Not quite found what I need. I recently acquired a 1991, Tobacco-Burst P-Lyte, verrrry nice. Sounds like it should, feels great, weighs not much. But... it seems to eat batteries.... and currently has a touchy input jack...

    acoustic collaboration series b-1 amplifier

    Sorry for late reply... I was just gifted one - Ser#1001 (looks good). After a clean up, inside and out, I am surprised how clear and clean this amp is. I too would love a Manual

    Thanks - yes, I worked that out, but I mean while still playing, with no effects, would like to toggle through settings to be ready for next song. Unfortunately when change patch they kick straight in

    Things you want to say on TB, but shouldn’t

    "Active Basses" may be something you like, but my old 'inactive' Precision, is FAT! And I like it that way.
