A couple of schematic sites http://bmamps.com/tech_sch.html http://hpbimg.someinfos.de/diy/allgemein/_schematics/amp-schem/

I'm trying to repair my AH250 GP12 SMX amp head, but cannot find the correct drawing for the rear panel pcb.The only drawing I can find is a revised edition,which doesn't match my amp. Does anyone have an older schematic they could email over? Thanks Verb

Not sure if they have the schematic you need, but lots of laney stuff here. http://bmamps.com/tech_sch.html Have you tried contacting Laney? They couldn't supply me with a drawing for my old bass combo, due to health and safety, but pointed me to a site with one.

The GP11 MKV wiring schematic I have is dated 2.12.86

The wheel nut control knobs are the real high point for me

My first bass was a Hohner Rockwood LX300B. Heavy, massive neck, bad neck dive. I still have it, under a bed at my parents house.

I have 5 Trace heads, an AH200-7S which I bought new in 94, an AH100, a 200watt head unit from a combo which is still waiting for me to fix it, an AH200 GP12 which I bought for £35 last year, all these are Series 6, and my most recent addition, an AH250 GP12 SMX, which is in need of a little tlc.

Hi Joe, Welcome to Basschat Verb

You can find your bass on the Warwick site under Pro Series discontinued models, along with the schematic I linked previously.If all the electrics, apart from the pickups, are Glockenklang, then the Warwick wiring isn't relevant to your bass. Warwick usually wire their basses so that the signal comes from the pickups, through the balance pot, onto the PCB on the vol pot, here it is switched either to go through the vol pot to the jack socket(passive mode or more correctly EQ bypass mode) or to the active EQ then back to the vol pot then onto the jack socket.

I have read that Warwick do not recommend a small string to pickup clearance with their $$ pickups, due to the strong magnetic force dampening string movement, I wonder if this is the case with your bass, might be worth dropping the pickups to check. I have a passive Fortress One 4 string and the output on that was very poor, a common issue with that model, I fitted EMGs and an OBP3.

Having looked at a few pics of the Glockenklang preamp, I think they use an MEC stacked pot on their EQ board and that all the electrics in your bass are Glockenklang. The original balance pot is 220K, so it might be worth checking the value on the blend pot. Warwick diagram for your bass, not relevant with the current electrics but useful reference. http://www.warwick.de/warwick/data/Warwick.de/Technical%20PDF/Scematic/PS-AS/AS_Bruce_60013.pdf http://www.glockenklang.de/en/products/products_bass.htm

What is the writing? That will identify the value of the pot and it's taper. I would assume it is a DPDT switch.

The Glockenlang site shows blend and vol with the preamp, if your Warwick uses their blend pot, is it the correct value for your pickups? Are the jack connections correct? Pickup height ok? Warwick used to use 2KHz and 100 Hz for their 2 band EQ frequencies.

I read a magazine a while back, possibly Bassist, with a Bronco renovation feature, and they used a guitar pickup with bar magnets.

Found this http://www.talkbass.com/threads/need-rockfield-mm-pickup-wiring.620979/

How do you want to wire it? series, parallel, to a switch?

I use EXL 230 55-110 nickels, standard or drop tuned they're great.

Bought an amp from Martin, good comms, accurate discription, would happily buy from him again.

Fret at 1st and 12th with string just clearing the 8th fret for relief, 1.5-2.0 mm clearance on G string at 12th fret and 2.0-2.5 mm on E string.

Can you make some metal pins, possibly screws with the head cut off and a point filed in its place, to screw into the neck holes, then lower the neck into position to mark the neck pocket. Then drill a pilot hole through from the pocket.
