    Thanks @Acebassmusic, there was so little room for manoeuvre that I wasn't able to see whether the wired runs from neck to switch or whether there was a plug as you mentioned, no joke I could move the neck about 1cm before the wire came under tension. My gut feel is that SIMs are far to good at these things to have not engineered a cunning connector but I don't want to risk pulling or pushing too hard just yet. Can you remember what the plug looked like so I know what I'm looking for when I go back in?

    Wires between body and neck seem OK The wires to which come from the pull front PUP volume pot Was thinking perhaps there's a separate battery for the LEDs under the pickguard...... But sadly, no So still a mystery, wires seem to be OK and as far as I can tell, going to and from the correct places, but I can't get them to work? I guess the pot could be broken, there could be a break in the wire, or worse still a fault with the LEDs themselves? Thoughts welcome 👍

    And what I assume are LEDs

    Here's the cavity, most of which I assume is related to the PUPs?

    Do you have dimensions please, overall standing height, speaking length and length of body especially. Many thanks. Chris

    Hey mate, thanks for the reply, hope all's well. Well they look like LEDs and the shops did indicate LEDs also, so all the signs are there! I'll take a photo of the cavity when I get a chance although it's a pretty busy space. Re the neck, that was my neck port of call, I assume there are no physical wires joining neck to body, or anything equally easily damaged (I couldn't find the right info online although I may have been looking in the wrong places)?

    Mmm, still can't get the LEDs to work so have started a separate thread here Any thoughts most welcome Chris

    If only postage were an option…….. 🤔

    Hi folks, I've recently acquired an Enfield Fusion and I can't get the LEDs to work. Battery is fine (lights on the PUPs are all working well). I've tried the push/pull option on the front-PUP pot and nothing, and I can't see any switches in the cavity or on the body? Suggestions most welcome 👍

    Bump 👍
  13. Beedster
    Thanks for the info, that's one option i didn't think of! Yes, passive 👍
  14. Beedster
    Ha, yes I get you mate, as above I'm going to give it a run for it's money next weekend and see how it goes 👍

    Thanks Greg, can't disagree with any of the above mate! I'm still thinking that the versatility is perhaps going to shone more with a fretted neck, but I'm going to try it fretless at a rehearsal next week, I suspect I might come away feeling slightly more encouraged to be honest. It's often that case that playing solo doesn't allow an instrument to really show it's true potential 👍

    An odd body that I picked up on eBay a few years back for a little bit more than I'm selling it for here (I was planning a reclaimed bitsa as the time and this was perfect if a little overpriced)! Got knows what the wood is but it had a lovely feel and a very nice oil finish. I built it up into a fretless with some VERY heavy and very old brass hardware (including a brass pickguard) and it played very nicely and sustained forever. It was also heavier than my cab (it's not an especially light body, I'll weigh it once i have some batteries for my scales). Pretty much standard Fender dimensions re pocket/rout/pickguard/bridge. It's also got that slight flat-C indent at the treble side of the neck pocket that a few old basses seem to have, no idea what/why, but apart from being noticeable, it makes no different to fit/function. I'll dig out the brass hardware also, worked very nicely on this body. Not to everyone's taste for sure

    This thread is going cost me a LOT of time 👍
  18. Beedster
    It feels like the bass belongs to us all mate
  19. Beedster
    Sorry now sold 😕
  20. Beedster
    Yep 👍

    Made in Heaven
  22. Beedster
    Sorry, this is I think sold but waiting on payment, looks more 60's than 70's to me but as I've yet to put on a bridge I'm not sure but will check in the morning. Finish appears to be light nitro 👍

    BBC News today described how Wilko, who'd played with the Feelgoods since 1972, enjoyed a four-decade career. I not normally angered by poor maths but today i was. Five decades of honest, take it or leave it, straight ahead gigging. Well done Wilko, hope you and Lee are enjoying a glass or two and a bit of reminiscing this evening 🍻

    Sadly at around the same time I was known as Purdy, although for much the same reason
