"Rape Me" - Nirvana

I am glad this worked as a reference for you. I actually realized later I misidentified the pots -- I hope that didn't throw you off. What I thought was the volume pot (with the circuit board) was actually the bass pot, although in the end it didn't really matter with this fix, as long as...

Ah I see, but that is strange because the battery ground wire is not near long enough to reach where the jack sits in the pickguard. The jack lies on the opposite end from where the battery ground wire comes out. I am certain that it got disconnected when I was fiddling with my jack. It had been...

Switch?

My bass is active, so I guess that makes sense. Initially I connected it to the only naked solder blob on my jack, and it picked up sound. So I soldered it, and then I realized the wire I just soldered was not long enough to reach where the hole in my pick guard is. So here I am now. Pardon my...

This black wire: I think it is my ground pickup wire? Well it has become disconnected. It connects to my volume board right? And here's the whole thing: So, if someone could identify where that black wire goes, that would be beautiful! I'm dying to play. If any more clarification...

So this black wire (ground wire?) from my input jack has been disconnected. Could I just solder it straight onto the surface of that solder blob?

The former link you posted is actually what I ordered. The lower holes lined up but the top was quite off. The peg was longer too. I'll edit in my dimensions in the initial post.

A tuner broke.

I have a Musicman Sterling Ray35 five string. I have been trying to find cheap machine heads, but what I have found do not list the dimensions from hole to hole. Am I missing out on something, or am I right to say that is completely vital to making the right purchase? I looked all around for a...

How do I find out the measurements?

So you guys are telling me my bass in whole will deteriorate if I do not replace the whole set eventually? As far as return goes, I don't even think I have documentation of the purchase anymore. I'll see what I can do,but thanks for your help guys. I am charmed by the community here. Rojo, I...

No problem for the pics. When you speak of narrowing the shaft, are you referring to the two end-grooves mine have? However, surely it's not as big a deal as to return my bass? I intend to replace this breakage for the time being, and might as well ride these other tuners out to the end. I am a...

Everything matches except for the blue and white, which both don't matter. I can use your shaft, trusting that the width of the shaft is the same.
