    Hi, guys. I'm not into effects usually, but I could use a few soon. We are putting together a cover show for Soda Stereo band which was HUGE in Latin America in the late 90s and early 00s. Most of the times I play with my only SansAmp BDDI always on. Almost clean. I had Darkglass Vintage...

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    After carefully looking inside the control plate, I've realized that it's nothing like the original wiring diagrams you've posted earlier. The only cap was 22u. All the wiring was different from the diagram. I've decided to rip it all off and install completely new components according to the...

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    True, but I was worried that something might be wrong with one of the capacitors since I had weird tonal change on higher volumes. I figured, that pots are ok. Could it be resistors? My first guess was that one of the caps dried out or something.

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    Thanks a lot guys for your help. I couldn't find any capacitor in the range, so I ended up with simple one neck pickup - volume knob wiring. The bass still sounds very Hofner. I would definitely cut some highs, but tonight I'm going to use my SansAmp DI for that. When I have time, I'll add some...

    That's what I'm going to do for now. Since the gig is tomorrow, it's going to be a simple one volume knob bass :)

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    Yes. I'm not an expert at all in that area though. As far as I understand, resistors control how much signal is going through, and capacitors control the frequency content. I don't see any capacitors connected to rhythm switch. So it shouldn't change the tone at all, right?

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    Thanks a lot for the suggestion! That seems like an easy fix. Do you know what rhythm switch does with original wiring? Does it simply make it "one" louder? Also, can I use audio taper pot for volume control? I may not have time to go a store, and the pot I have is audio taper.

    Hofner Wiring Question - Quick fix for tomorrow gig.

    Good morning. I've recently acquired 1990's Hofner Violin bass. It was fine for some time, but recently I started to notice some sort of distortion and lost of low frequencies when volume knob (neck pickup) is close to 10. I looked at control plate. It seems like someone tried to fix it or...
