You win @tauzero! I'm out to buy a Toledo Salamanca.

It's so obvious that it's obvious I obviously didn't understand the obvious part of the obvious wording. Silly me. 🤪

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic If you read it, you'll notice that right hand traffic is the most common worldwide by a huge margin. You'll also notice that in ancient times people were driving in the middle of the road and when crossing, they kept the ... right side of the road, so please stop with this absurd assertions. And once again U.K. was, is and will always be in Europe, but decided to get out of the EEC, which is something different.

That's why I used a past tense...

Just for the record @Chienmortbb: https://mossmotors.com/how-to-positive-or-negative-ground And what I wrote were just facts as I don't care what you use as long as you don't pretend they are the only correct options. These were just to demonstrate that there's no right option, so a truss rod is not working in reverse, but is a left or right thread working system and both are totally correct. Got it?

Why do you take it personally?

Don't you drive on the left side of the road? Don't you use left thread? Don't you use imperial system? Didn't you put the positive of batteries to the ground? Strange to ask such a question, no?

Not really cheap, but it's what is used in classical concert halls: https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_14050_multi_purpose_stool.htm

Did you check König und Meyer? https://www.k-m.de/en/products/drummer-s-thrones-benches-stools/stools/14050-stool-black-imitation-leather?c=167

Speaking German helps a bit, Mick. 😉 There is all the data needed: https://www.ets-hardware.com/index.php/en/impressum-2

Typical switching power supply noise that your new set of lights certainly has. Always connect your amp and pedal board to its "proprietary" socket with nothing else to it.

I think I still have this VHS video with its booklet somewhere... And yes I bought it new at that time... But was disappointed as he was playing a ... fretted bass.

Fine @MuseMatt, you've done it the right way and it's always good to bring back an old bass to life.

If the shielding is totally grounded (so every cavity and the bridge grounded too), no need to put ground leads to the pots (except creating ground loops). Make sure to make a star grounding too. 😉

Are you called Alice? 😂

Or sell non alcoholic beverages only...

I've swapped or installed hundreds of preamps and it's a 10 minutes swap indeed, nothing easier to do, especially when new with a diagram or a schematic. I've also (re)wired totally unknown preamps implying redrawing and/or understanding the circuit itself and also way more complicated electronics jobs, but it's been my job in the mid 90's early 2000's. Sorry Mick, but if your tech can't do such a simple swap, he's not a tech at all to me.

There is this excellent pedal for sale here:

Here's the full pots Aguilar schematic if you ave any doubts, just reassemble the pots. 😉 https://www.bestbassgear.com/wiring-diagrams/v-bl-t--msw-b-ap-tone.pdf

Yes, your schematic is totally correct.

A one string bass, or if you play in Metallica a no string bass is perfect or a totally unwired bass.

@NickA, I own a made to measure Leduc sixer EUB that I used a lot when playing in a jazz duet making rearranged covers of French "standards".

Marleaux Tonwerk. Richter StepAbout. TrickFish Minnow. TrickFish Trilobite. To name a selection of the best pedal preamp still available new and models that I tried.
