And really nice looking bass too !

Use @Andyjr1515 trick with a wire soldered to some adhesive copper. 😉

Looking at the bass, I truly think the hole is for a big pure Havana cigar, no fake skint rocker cigarette, there's the Telecaster for that.

Doesn't seem to be that urgent...

What do you need to know ?

Here is your answer : 80% on the volume on an old Trace Elliot (often with no fans or underrated ones) means it's been so hot you could have cooked on the amp and then it simply started to burn.

Fixed for you.

Natural as I love the look of wood.

My Fake Flea Jazz Bass has a set of these excellent pickups (to me the best "standard" pickups ever, period) and like GR Bass, it's something I recommend all the time ... with some huge success with GR Bass...

Lemmy was a fan... Enough said, no ? If it's not enough, listen to this : They are a great band and they have a great sense of the melody and composition. Like most of us, I discovered these facts only when I grew up. It was so easy to hate them back in the day. That said, I have none of their albums, but I don't turn the sound off when I hear them. Muriel's Wedding was also a fantastic film for (non) Abba fans, and with an amazing Toni Collette !

Some people seem to have a lot of time to spend at really useless details or huge OCD problems. Just to say. 😉

You don't speak of the preamp(s) gain. This is the first thing to do in your chain. A perfectly set gain is the key to a perfect sound, but don't use the gain light as it's pure bullsh*t, use your ears and set it accordingly. That said the more pedals, whatever they are, you add to your signal, the more problems you put in the equation... And the more deteriorated your sound gets.

I still have my Blue 360 and won't sell it as I get THAT Acoustic sound instantly.

Yep, you're right it's a Gotoh 206.

This part is totally unexplainable and unexpected !?! I had a bass stolen 3 decades ago that has never been found back, so I know the feeling. I've been refunded by the insurance for its full new value, but as it was a special order from a luthier I still still feel I've lost more... But WTF, storing a van for a week without even checking if everything that should be in was really inside is beyond my imagination... I'll keep both eyes opened in case I see such a rare MusicMan, for sure.

And the icing on the cake is that (for now) when you're a supporting member, ads disappear ! That's another reason to become a supporting member. It's great to be a member ! Be there or be square ! That's heavy ! Ok @ped you should now my bank account number by heart now.

It's not a Gotoh Pro bridge (aka 206) as it really looks like a Kahler roller bridge type with the whole saddle/string anchoring moving like on a headless system. I've seen this bridge before for sure, but where...

EMG pickups and preamp, Gotoh GB7 first generation (small shaft) tuners and Gotoh Pro bridge. Definitely 90's. Certainly made by, a now disappeared, luthier.

The two coils are totally identical otherwise the hum cancelling wouldn't be very effective. 😉 So there's no E-A or D-G part.

It's a series wiring, so the black junction wire is for the connection in series of both coils. The remaining black wire is the cold point (that you solder to the ground) and the white wire is the hot point (output). If you have another pickup in the bass and that the sound is out of phase, simply reverse the cold and hot points.

That said, this is wrong : Why is my typing getting re formatted to something i don’t want? And this is right : Why is my typing getting re formatted to something I don’t want?

Now you have the solution !
