BASS COLLECTION SB320 SGC NANYO

Guys, here is the control cavity.

This are NOT the original pots.. 100k pots?????

PS: the corks are not original, obviously.. That were put in the control cavity to prevent the pots from 'fall of' because the pots weren't even from a music instrument, that means the tip of the pots (the part inside de knobs) were cut of!

Interesting - not just a question of pots, that preamp (with the 100K pots) doesn't look stock to me, but the board seems to match the pot position perfectly, which is unlikely for an aftermarket preamp. Either it was installed very well, or it's stock - I didn't know BC made any active basses, though. Then again, if it was stock, it wouldn't need the corks. Still haven't checked mine, I don't recall any of them being active, I'll look.

Cool bass & colorful blanket! My vote is for ash, as well.

Fabio that doesn't look right and there's no way it would have shipped from Japan with corks holding
things in place.

I've had the back off my bass but don't see any values stamped,they are tiny pots and mines are fixed in place.

Take a read through this thread

AT LONG LAST! PICS!! | TalkBass.com

It's about SGC basses and one poster gives 100K as the value for his pots, post #25. Another place to try would be the SGC Nanyo FB page.

It could also be a custom preamp build.

My Bass Collection was originally active, but a previous owner removed the preamp and installed EMG active pickups instead. It was still a great bass, I only got rid of mine because the string spacing was too narrow.

Exactly what I like about mine. Funny how that works!

This is the original preamp, Volume pot should be A 10K and not 100K

Wow, haven't seen one of these basses in quite a long time. The Bass Collection bass was my first major bass purchase back in late 80s. Cool looking bass, thought the headstock and reverse winding always confused me. Good luck figuring out the pots.
