I ran across this photo of Tommy playing my old bass that you guys helped me restore so that I could give it to him. This gives a little closure. It was a long time ago and I could not have done it without your help. The band is Metasopheli LV https://www.facebook.com/metasopheli.lv Peace Out...

OK OK OK, Like I said last year when I was looking for competent advice for rebuilding my old hollow body bass to pass on to new blood;The is no subsitute for experience. I am so glad to get your advice for free here in this forum. Otherwise who knows, I may have burned up that kids amp trying...

OK, its still not clear to me because the following statement in the manual lends itself to be in terpeted that it can handle 1 4 ohm speaker and 2 8 ohms speakers as a recommended configuration. T. PARALLEL SPEAKER OUTPUTS - Use the 1/4" phone jacks and Speakon® connector in any...

The Sub Bass loudspeaker is no longer needed to be used as a bass amp. could you advise me as to the best application for this in a local rock band. is it needed in a PA system. i guess i do not know anything about its application but am trying to give it to this kids band for use. I feel...

Actualy I spent 10 minutes there last night trying for the first time to locate the download page for the manuals and gave up; Thus venting my confusing speculation as to what I said here. If i had found the manual own my own I would not have sounded so stupid here. My bad, thanks again.

Do you have a good link to a site that posts diagrams for what I want to do? What size/guage and type wire should I use.

Thanks Glenn, jeeeeeeeeeeez I am glad I asked. I almost wired it up with those active pots not knowing there is a difference. I will donate that active pickup system to someone with a lead guitar and keep the wiring on this bass rebuild simple. I shot myself in the foot several times...

I have a reflex lead guitar pickup system (attached photo)(never used). Can I use any of this stuff like the switches & jack to wire up the base with the existing single pickup? can you post a diagram here for me? I know, I don't ask for much, ... huh.

Refer to the attached photo Assuming that the baseplate is the outer metal shell; On the 20K scale I got a reading of 8.04 measured from the insulated solder point in the corner to the baseplate. From reading your text it seems apparent that this is a single coil pickup that uses the...
