Calling all Gibson Victory Artist owners

[Fly Guitars]

Firstly, electronic engineer Kirkwood Rough has drawn up circuit schematics for the Gibson Victory Artist and Custom basses. Thanks Kirkwood!

But did you know there were two versions of the Victory Artist bass circuit? The most widely used (afaik) is marked Rev B, but another (which we are calling Rev A) also exists. Differences are subtle.

So, I am hoping you will all help me out - unscrew your scratchplate and tell me your serial number and whether it has the unmarked (Rev A) or the Rev B board. I'm compiling a list Invalid Link Removed, but you can post in this thread, and i'll compile it all later.

Thanks all, hope the schematics are of use to some of you

WOW... You have no idea how long I have been looking for a wiring diagram. I have played my Victory Artist for twenty years, it is part of my soul. A couple of decades of gigs, parties, etc. has taken its toll. Over the past few years it has developed "issues" and I looked all over for wiring info. I even took it to "experts" to get it repaired. One of these "experts" completely gutted the electronics and replaced with just standard passive pots (without asking me by the way!). I'm sure the look on my face was classic when he handed me the stock electronics in a little paper bag and said "Your bass is all fixed". The problems got bad enough that I had to break down and buy a new bass.
In the next day or two I will open mine up and see which board it has and let you know.
I may be able to revive the ol' girl after all.
