Thinning down the herd, so selling my fretted basses as I don't use them... FOR SALE OR TRADE : TUNE BEB-6, 36 inches scale, rare real Japanese from the Kobe factory, so made before 1995 ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £999 GBP !!! In fully working condition and real good condition for such a rare bass that has never been modified. Here are the specifications : Body : 2 pieces ash Neck : 3 pieces (bolt-on) maple Fingerboard : maple Frets : 24 (perfect condition as they have been dressed) Headstock : 3 + 3 shape Pickups : Tune humbuckers Preamp : Tune 2 bands twin preamp (yes 2 different preamps voiced differently) Controls : volume (active/passive), blend, stacked bass and treble for the first preamp, stacked bass and treble for the second preamp, switch for selecting the preamps Tuners : Gotoh/Tune GB7 (3 + 3) with reversed mounted strings (so tuning à la original Fender) Bridge : Tune massive brass Strings spacing at bridge : 18 mm Nut : brass Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : original metal Scale : 36" Hardware colour : natural aged gold Finish : light gloss Land of craftsmanship : Japan (Kobe) Serial number : non-existent on early Tune basses Weight : 4,6 kilos Action : from 1,5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret Will come with a brand new soft case or a gig bag, up to you, or both of them. Non-smoking environment as usual. It has some marks, mainly above the neck pickup (thumb anchoring), at the rear and on the upper edge of the head. This bass is known to be the best 36 inches bass ever and you can trust this affirmation. With the two preamps, you can have a deep Motown sound and, simply by flicking a switch, engaging the second preamp for a tone à la Jaco. Certainly the most versatile bass you can find. Even Fodera owners consider this bass to have the best low B on the market. And its ergonomics is perfect. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has a new batteries, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand new set of DR Black Beauties BKB6-30 coated stainless steel wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -125). Link to the new Tune BEB series : http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/tune/beb/beb.html What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all. Don't hesitate to ask for more. Dust is offered.

Should BCers declare commercial or similar interests?

Would you like to endorse a transparent preamp like the one pictured below : If you can't see it, it's because it's very transparent. -

It's dark matter clear, now. -
Yes, someone please help @Basscabman.

And does it work now ?

I'm claiming high that Leduc basses are to me exceptional instruments, but even if Christophe has become a friend over the years, I don't earn any money AT ALL for that. I'm only buying too much of his stuff (new or not), and, because of that, just as he likes to say : I'm ruling the second hand market prices, having owned something like 30 of his basses... And I ordered a new one last year at my wife's suggestion. I know, I'm a lucky man. 😊 -

Yep. That's it ! Edit : I've analysed the wiring, never seen such a mess, there are 4 wires (including ground) going to the output jack !?!
-
Yep. That's it !

Could be, depending of the type of jack used and if it's an active bass... Go see someone with a bit of electronics knowledge in your area : it's an easy fix, but if you don't know what you're doing, it will be a dead end...
-
Nope. You can do a much cleaner grounding than this by running a single wire from pot to pot and soldering the lug to earth to the pot (just fold it until it touches the pot and do the solder).

Don't you know someone who can just renew them ? It will fix the problem for sure.

DIY fretless bass using old washing machine drum.

If you can use a soldering iron, please renew all the solders. Never seen such a mess. Must have been made by a mad man. The amount and paths of groundings are seriously questionable...
-
Do a new solder on the earth of the right lug on the J volume and it will certainly work. Did you buy it like that ?

Turning a machine ? 🤣 -
Do you mean put a Bart on a Dart ? Ooh spiky ! 😉

That was the one thing I wasn't hearing mentioned. Are you sure it is your bass that doesn't have a good tone? The B string in just below 31hz, even at the point that your ears frequency response is dropping off. You need a hell of an amp speaker combo to be able to accurately transfer that to the same level as the higher frequencies - even speakers renowned for good frequency ranges don't do that well, most of the barefaced cabinets for instance say 'useable range' down to 37Hz and they are one of the few manufacturers with non made up specs Urm, I mentioned it at the beginning of the thread. 😉

I used to own one, not terrific indeed, but those are not Bartolini pickups nor preamp, but designed by Bartolini, so just like the awful pseudo EMG's on Hohner basses, only selling a name, not a product not even made by the brand itself. I was 100% sure that this was it, strangely. Try an American MTD and tell me about the sound, but the lutherie is also top notch quality, which proves what I've always said : an electric instrument is, above all, an acoustic instrument. If it doesn't sound unplugged, it won't do better when plugged. And the Cort Curbow was a deep sh*t unplugged.
