making a bass

[mrbass1232]

Hi everyone
I have this old ibanez bass that doesn't work. The wiring is completely dead, it will never work again. So i took the neck off and im wondering how to wire a new body for the bass.
Thanks

Captain obvious says: replacing the pickups is a good place to start!

+1

or try the even cheaper option of re-soldiering the wires to the pots

And put the neck back. It's pretty important, you know.

Don't forget strings for that all important sound

Pun-tended? Or unintended?

Wiring does not "go dead." And you don't "wire a new body" for it. And taking the neck off will not help a darn thing.

The premise of your questions is false.
You can't get there from here.

You can always get there from here, the question is, would you WANT to make that effort?

I love how no one gave him a straight answer yet.
