  1. IIRC, the volume pot is a 25 kOhms linear type, so not fantastic in passive mode. My guess is that the pot is simply dead...
  2. Anyone in the Manchester area know if Darren aka @Dazed is okay. It's been more than 2 ½ weeks since he last answered my PMs. I know he moved recently, but he always answered within the week, so I'm a bit worried... 🫤
  3. And all sold, they will all be sent on Monday. Don't forget that the tantalum capacitors are polarised. 😉
  4. For the record, I didn't remove the top of the guitar, worked from the outside of the ... side with a router (I like the neat work you get with this tool) and a template, then glued the rosace in and that was it. Not that difficult if you work slowly and accurately, Chris.
  5. Chris, it was ... 30 years ago when I had my own repair shop, so no photos, hélas... Sorry.
  6. I used a soundhole insert from a broken gipsy guitar (so small enough for the side) just as you suggest. Great minds... 😉
  7. Indeed, and with a 585.205.527,9616 miles long coast.
  8. Thanks a lot @Leonard Smalls, but Diksmuide is 300 kilometers away from home as I live at the opposite side if the country, otherwise I would have gone there (and I quite hate folk music too). Thanks a lot for the "invitation". That said Wednesday we saw, for the third time, Kyle Eastwood, in another genre, in Dudelange (Luxemburg). Excellent concert if you like jazz, especially post bebop music, and for that concert, it was dedicated to his father's film music (more 70's oriented).
  9. I had one of the very first available over here, sold it to a friend who still owns it, something like 20 years later and still running flawlessly, except for the dead battery, of course. I always fancied a red one. If only I was still playing bass or double bass ... GLWYS.
  10. Chris, a long time ago, someone asked me to repair a similar damage on a classical guitar for almost nothing as he was skint. So after a bit of discussion I proposed him to create a side soundhole and that was it. And you know what, according to him, it sounded better with this side soundhole... Go figure.
  11. The most awful "colour" ever and we are lucky as the clear varnish coat is yellowing over the years, otherwise it's even more horrendous. I got an original 1977 Antigua Precision Bass in a trade and couldn't simply get it out of its case without wanting to puke, so I traded it for the first bass that was the proposed to me: a 1969 500/1 Höfner, what a relief.
  12. So, there's only one preamp left with linear pots and without any control plate, so €55 EUR (around £50 GBP).
  13. Price is for one kit! 1 x Music Man 2EQ LM4250CN preamp to assemble, exactly the same as the Boscoe 2EQ preamp. I'll knock €10 EUR for the last one without the plate, so it will be €55 EUR. It will come with linear pots like from 1982 onwards. It will be delivered with enough length of coloured wires (not the whole box) and 1 x 3M double sided foam. Each preamp has a real LM4250CN (manufacturer may vary) op amp, tantalum capacitors (colour may vary), Radio knobs and real MM output jack. The price of €55 EUR is for everything pictured in the first photo plus the wires and one 3M double sided foam, without control plate. Shipping is included using UPS Standard, just send me a PM if you are interested and I'll explain you how I'll proceed. NO TRADES! PRICE NON-NEGOTIABLE! Asking price, fully insured delivery with tracking number, to your home, for the following European countries (for other countries, please contact us): Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom: €55 (£50 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. Due to the fact that I don't play bass anymore, I'm selling all the stuff I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale as, new, it would cost you twice more than my asking price… Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

  14. Calling @Beedster and @Happy Jack who are in your area as certainly others, but I don't know them.
  15. Superb bass, I own a BassLab too:
  16. I was answering @Chris2112 concerning the white Tetsuo Sakurai, not you. Yours is a real refinished in white TRB-6P, for sure.
  17. 13 hours ago, @Chris2112 said: "There are some genuine white TRB's in the wild, as there were two generations of Tetsuo Sakurai models. However, on the most basic level they can be identified by his signature on the headstock." It's a different bass, different pickups, different preamp, even if the basis is a TRB-6P, and it's called a TRB-S. The TRB-S was quite close, but not exactly the same bass. The TRB-SII was a bolt-on iteration and the only one available in white.
  18. It's been refinished for sure as: 1. It's not an official TRB-6P (P stands for Piezo) colour as all colours were see through. 2. It's more than obvious as the Yamaha logo is not the correct one. 3. It's missing the TRB-6P logo on the ebony plated headstock. 4. It's missing the serial number at the back of the headstock. 5. Here are some photos of one of mine with official Yamaha catalogues extracts.
  19. Stenback basses don't show up very often at all. His vision of the Jazz Bass is the best you can find. I guess this one must also sound terrific, but I'm not a fan of the look, that said. GLWYS.
  20. Hard to tell without any photo as it could be anything from an old Japanese brand to a cheap Korean bass, or a full assembly...
  21. I need an address with an email and phone number to do so as UPS is asking for this for a quote, so send me a PM with your details ans I'll get back to you.
