Stainless steel would be better @JPJ, like my Le Fay. -

Nordstrand Nordymute Maple 20. This is the 20 mm version for vintage style basses. I'm selling it because I prefer palm muting. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price in GBP is just an indication as I only accept Euros (25 here) and it DOES NOT include shipping, which will be at cost!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get! Link to the Nordymute website page: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/nordymute?variant=12119135060037 Don't hesitate to ask for more.

D'Addario Chrome ECB81 (45 -65 -80 -100) cut for a Fender headstock (4 in line) with 3 turns around the tuners. The strings have been carefully removed from my Nash P-Bass 63 after more than a year of intensive use, so totally broken in, but with plenty of life. I replaced them with DR Strings Legend Flat Wounds that are more flexible and closer to that Motown tone I want now. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE!

Nice job, Harry.

The longer the cable, the less the treble. It's also another trick with passive instruments. 😉
-
Wow, I knew something like that existed!
-
Not the Joe Dart models, which are all passive. 😉 https://www.music-man.com/instruments/families/basses/joe-dart And the two artist series models from Sterling by Music Man including another variant of the Joe Dart. https://intl.sterlingbymusicman.com/collections/artist-series-basses

Just unscrew the geared wheel of each tuner and put some vaseline under on the friction part, it will work very well afterwards and your Eko will hold its value.

In the parallel mode the purple and red wires are connected together to the ground (earth), so your wiring is similar to a standard jazz bass. In the series mode, the purple wire becomes the connection between the two pickups, so the earth is the black wire of the bridge pickup, then the yellow wire of the bridge pickup is connected to the black wire of the neck pickup and the yellow wire of this pickup becomes the output of the humbucker. These two last wires can also be reversed if your newly created humbucker is out of phase. In this series mode, only the neck pickup volume will work.

The Luminlays can charge in day light, just put your bass near a window during daytime. Or you can use the only led light really working for these luminescent dots: https://meisterworks.myshopify.com/collections/luminlay-products/products/luminlay-ll-1 I have Luminlays and luminescent dots on several basses and I have tried a lot of UV lights that only charge them for a few minutes when the official one gives you around one hour of visibility.

And the most important part has been been forgotten... The weight, unless it's what the name says. 👹

You have two distinct earth wires because of the series function. In other words, the neck "earth" wire can't be connected directly to earth, because it's the cold point allowing to have both pickups in series, that's why you have two other earth wires to connect wherever you want on any pot to create the earth, for example where the earth of the bridge pickup goes. It's a lot of earth, I know. 🤦

Headless bridge - anyone tried this cheapie?
Hellzero replied to Pea Turgh's topic in Repairs and Technical
Yep, it looks like a copy of the original Leduc designed Logabass made by Sanox... If it's as good as the original, it will work flawlessly. Also check the original Kubicki headless bass bridge as it's quite similar too especially the way it works, but came later. -
This not against you @Pow_22, but how could it be a 1984 instrument when the neck is from the second part of December 1985? Fender never owned a DeLorean, so it would be great if people like Bass Bros stopped talking nonsense even if the serial number is linking it to 1984 ... up to 1987, which is here the missing part for the E series. You date instruments by their youngest part, not the oldest. This is what your serial number gives: Concerning the missing "Made in Japan", it may have been omitted as @Doctor J said or carefully removed by a previous owner...

On their latest AeroTech iteration Gr Bass uses a sandwich panel were the two outer sides are woven CF and the inside a damping material, so an inert panel stiff enough to be glued and braced. I have photos of the inside of one GR Bass AeroTech 212 slim cabinet: there is no other damping material and it works very well. The downside of the inside covered with glassy woven CF is that if something like a residue of soldering tin moves and vibrates it can really drives you mad thinking there's an issue with a speaker, so beware of the bass reflex ports that can let anything very small go inside... I also need to find the video where the sandwich panel is shown.
