    This is not a scam shop as you'll get what you paid for: an expensive postcard or an A4 poster if you are lucky. There are many websites like this one.

    I think you're confusing signature with gear used, especially for Peter Hook whose one and only signature gear to date is his Yamaha model, but I may be totally wrong...

    Welcome to the world of instruments made in the USA or anywhere in the world. 0,79375 is the answer, and not 42. 🤣

    So, yes it's a huge possibility, and quite common I would say, as CBS bought Fender in January 1965 with the intention to dismantle the company, so they used all stock components available to build instruments. The pots should also be from 1966 as they bought the whole remaining stock from CTS back then. Instruments built from 1965 to 1969 can be weirdos with different years for parts, but to give them a date, it's always the youngest one that counts. And I wonder how the seller can date the body to 1967 as, except if there's a date hand penciled, the bodies were the same?

    Which screws ? The ones for the bridge itself or the saddle height screws ?
  6. Hellzero
    Nope.
  7. Hellzero
    As they even recreated the original bridge, it should sound like the original, just hoping it's not a 15.5 mm strings spacing anymore, but at least an 18 mm strings spacing like all original chrome bridge models.

    It totally confirms it @andyonbass. I was about to suggest you to use this trick, but we have a family lunch right now, so was asked to be ... present. 😉
  9. Hellzero
    Hélas no, furthermore it's a known issue with the Boss Waza Air, and it's even written in the manual. 😉

    For those interested, here is the module used in the Sumo: Do your homework now. 😉
  11. Hellzero
    Yes, it was. Furthermore here is the third reason: Your pickups have black bottom (the plate receiving the magnets) when the American ones have grey bottom with a stamped 6 digits code ending with 82. Check this original 1982 American JV pickup Jazz Bass pickup (with plastic wires that may have been changed at some time):

    Oops... 🤦🏻

    By the way, there's a screw missing on the bridge...
  14. Hellzero
    @bremen I guess it's to make it look like an original stacked knobs. 😉
  15. Hellzero
    Very nice looking carbon fiber effect, that said...
  16. Hellzero
    This is the typical sound of a PWM power supply. I guess when putting it back together, the negative of the battery and the ground have been reversed on the output jack of your bass.
  17. Hellzero
    Yours are Japanese for at least two reasons: First, they have plastic wires, not cloth wires. Second, they have coloured plastic tape around the coil, not a bare coil.
  18. Hellzero
    Lovely ! 😍 GLWYS.
  19. Hellzero
    I was waiting for this @tauzero... 😉
  20. Hellzero
    @Beer of the Bass I forgot the best PIL album called Album or CD depending the support.
  21. Hellzero
    The instruments were made by the brand named Sound of Sweden, which was a branch of FBT that made the Hellborg amp line too. You forgot the Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Signature strings @itu. 😉
  22. Hellzero
    So Jonas Hellborg gets the glittering price...
  23. Hellzero
    He played with: John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane, Bill Laswell, Tony Williams, Mattias IA Eklundh, Buckethead, Trilok Gurtu, Michael Shrieve, Ginger Baker ... and Kollektiv was one of his project as well as many others... Plus another 15 or more albums elsewhere in the house or on other shelves. I'm a big fan...
  24. Hellzero
    The pickups were provided directly from Fender USA, so they had cloth wires. It was also the Dan Smith era, so all was way more rigorous than under CBS or even Leo Fender supervision.
  25. Hellzero
    This one has American CTS pots from 1982, which seems quite logical as it's a stacked knobs, so now you've seen the 3 variants.
