But who invented schnapps playing ? 🤔

By the way, Mick Jagger and the Red Devils, Blues Sessions is a ... 1992 project ! 🤣 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Devils_(blues_band)

@Bean9seventy Are you a revisionist ? Or maybe a conspiracy revisionist ? It's so hype today, I know... You have all the proofs before your eyes that, at least, one person was playing slap before 1968 on a bass. Do you understand what is written in all the comments here, because it seems that you don't ? I clearly wrote : "What about this more modern technique dating back to 1965..." Here, the more modern technique is referring to tapping not slapping. That said who gives a f*ck about knowing who was the first to use slap... You know some unknown manouche guitarist certainly did some slap on his guitar way back in the 1940's without knowing that he invented a new technique. Even if you have footage and evidences of the fact that Larry Graham already played slap in 1960, you'll keep denying the facts, because you've found that 1968 footage of a guitarist slapping a note (that nobody here can see) on a 1982 tune !?! Did he also invent that DeLorean time machine ? And about the fact that there's no slap bass lesson video before 1980, urm, urm, do you know that these lessons were written lessons in magazines, in the early days... Check this, but I guess you'll say it was recorded this year, no ?

Of course @Ricky 4000 that's more than obvious.

@Ricky 4000 The OP doesn't want any double bass slap in here.

1969 hit Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) with pop and slap :

So, around 22 kilos to move. Great against thieves !

Ok, now for the slap thing, Larry Graham who is considered to have invented the slap technique as we know it has developed it in ... 1960 and used it on the first record of Sly and the Family Stone in 1967, so before this pseudo 1968 footage. The band started touring in 1966 with Larry Graham already slapping on electric bass. Here's Larry Graham himself explaining the genesis of the modern slap technique and especially why: He used the slap intensively on the next album called Dance to the Music and released in 1968.

Did you try the good ol' way @ped ? With a good ol' hammer... Works very well when you need to push things a bit more !

What about this more modern technique dating back to 1965...

You have to solder that jumper, otherwise it won't work the way it is supposed to do. This link is made directly on the circuit board you removed. 😉

Check this @ped : https://www.luggagefactory.com/blogs/news/how-to-set-up-luggage-locks

@bagsieblue Does it work now ? That said the difference between the single coil and parallel mode can sometimes be very hard to hear, but come close to a screen or a transformer and you'll instantly know which one is engaged. 😉

Or push the slider.

IIRC you have to dial in a new secret code and pull that slider to "memorise" it. By default it's not set at all.

And Z for ZZ Top.

And so on...

That said, if you're wealthy you can buy the original assembly part by Warwick and don't forget to check the shipping fee which is as delirious... https://shop.warwick.de/en/parts-for-instruments/electronics-parts/switches/20274/mec-mini-toggle-switches-assembly-for-coil-splitting-on-humbucking-pickups

This is upside down and I still don't see any difference...

Tell me where is the difference upside down, please ?

Remember that you have to solder that jumper between pin 2 and 3 otherwise it can explain your problem as there will be not grounding of one of the two coils creating the "single coil" mode.

If your switch is a DPDT On-On-On, there is no up or down position as it's internally wired the same way, so except for the notch, there's no upside down position. Did you ground the pin 5 and the green (or white) wire ?

The wiring is different on the neck and bridge pickup to allow the 2 single coil positions to act act as a humbucker when blended, so no noise (less in fact) and use of the outer coil of each pickup.

Ok, it's the correct switch. Don't worry about the notch on the switch as you can turn it to the desired position afterwards. There are 6 pins on your switch when you look at it from the rear. Let's number them beginning on the top left and going to the bottom right, so you have 1 on the top left, 2 on the top right, 3 on the middle left, 4 on the middle right, 5 on the bottom left and 6 on the bottom right. 1. Make a strap between 2 and 3 on both switches. 2. Starting with the neck pickup. 3. White on 2. 4. Red on 4. 5. Black on 6 = Output. 6. Green on Ground. 7. Ground on 5 too. 8. Now the bridge pickup. 9. Green on 2. 10. Black on 4. 11. Red on 6 = Output. 12. White on Ground. 13. Ground on 5 too. This now should work.
