If you have one of these, you know they are unique and should be preserved.
They have warmth, yet can be bright as you like, they are highly adaptable, and can be used wherever they can be anchored.
Please, don't throw it away, refurbish it.
It is a simple elegant design that is built to last.
I'm not going to tell anyone how to fix what may be wrong with the one you have, but I will show just how simple it can be...

Hmm... These things won't fit on a Precision Bass, will they? :D

I think you were looking for Amps, Mics & Pickups [DB].
