I bought a Westone Rail in the 80s and owned it for years, gave it to a co-worker in 2005 when I moved. I asked if he still had it a couple years ago, he said it is the favorite go-to bass at his studio. Found an unmarked Hondo Alien with aluminum neck at the Seattle Goodwill, still considering...

Gail Greenwood blew me away when I saw Belly back in the 90's.

Unless you are playing with Phil Collins or Dave Grohl, tell him to shag right off.

Weird...my first bass was a 4001. Wish I had never sold it. Of course, I say that about any bass I previously had...

Is Bob sleeping with YOUR WIFE?

Can I get a "that's what she said"?

Your problem is your vision. Most people I know laughed at Creed and Nickelback from day one, and now those names are bandied as insults (Miami police threatening on Twitter to make offenders listen to Nickelback!)

I originally bought a Westone Rail back in the early 1990's. I paid less than $200 for it. In 2005, I was moving, and downsizing, and gave it to a co-worker who was a guitarist. I moved back 10 years later, and asked him about it. He said it is everyone's favorite bass down at his studio. So...

Thanks, finally got all the parts I was waiting for and got it wired up.

Did anyone recommend Coheed and Cambria?

Is there a wiring diagram out there for the XL9? I couldn't find one on the Vintage Kramer site. Anyone want to post up a picture of their control cavity?

Any idea how large those are? I've been looking for some and it seems like all the Orange Drops are HUGE!!

It is an Artec pickup, but I'll have to search more as I can't find wiring setup for this one. It was the only one I could find that matched the coil that came with the bass, but the newest catalog I can find online does not even show it, though I have found it in other catalogs. I guess I...

Does the diagram I have of my original wiring look like it would work correctly? Because doing a search, I'm finding so many different wiring schemes, some of which run all wires to the switch, some routing that uninsulated wire along with one of the coil wires to the switch, etc. I'd like...

That helps a lot. I was thinking I needed to ohm them out to make sure what circuits are to each coil, but I suspect that it is the same, just green instead of blue. I guess I was going at this thinking of the pickup as one pickup when it is actually a pair- which would be wired the same...

Here's how it looked when I bought it. Debadged Alien

Hmmm, 46 views but nobody knows basic wiring better than me? Do I have to put up a picture of my bass first to get you excited?

reviving an old thread, hope some Alien users will have some insight- Hondo Alien wiring

So I guess the question I have (being new to wiring) is how do I know how to wire in my new pickup? The wires are matched, except blue is green on my pickup, and I also have an unsheathed wire that I assume is a ground (but my white wire goes to ground anyway?) and the pickup was shipped with...

Quick sketch I did of how the Alien is wired as I got it (which looks to me like it should be correct per factory wiring. I'm thinking I have either a bad pot, or a bad switch

Hey all- I've already done searches all over the internet, and every thread that references the wiring of the Hondo Alien steers people to the wiring diagram over at the vintage Kramer forum. However, the Alien is NOT a Kramer Duke Deluxe, with the splittable humbucking coil. It is a simple...
