Thank you for the warm welcome guys.

Looks pretty straight forward for anyone into electronics, maybe try to contact someone who fixes PC's as they use similar conponents and should have the relevant test equipment and they should also be good at de-soldering/soldering, hope this is useful to you.

Just wanted to say hello to all and looking forward to getting involved in discussions and having a laugh, very new to playing so needing to learn the basics of setting up and playing, always willing to take advice and have an open mind (my wife says empty headed), I've a Bass guitar, which was given to me by a friend of unknown manufacture but looks like a Fender Jazz imitation, needs new strings and I'd probably carry out a set up of action etc as it probably needs it, I enjoy fixing things myself so will probably be asking for advice from the members and experts on "Basschat" looking forward to starting to learn and play.
