[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1331161330' post='1568861'] I didn't see your edit until after I'd replied! So instead of having the wire that connects to the jack and is grounded to the tone control, it's instead grounded to the back of the volume pot? Along with the wire that goes to the underside of the bridge? [/quote] Yes & yes

Very necessary, make sure the inner of the jack socket is connected, (black wire usually), that's where the 'ground' comes into your bass via the cable, some metal control plates rely on mechanical continuity but a wire soldered to the pot body is the best. Cheerz, john

Jeeeeezzz Mrs KazOgon has got the ironing board cover to match your bedspread but I use it for tinkering basses on so I guess I'll have to let you off Nice collection BTW Cheerz, John

Yes - what you're thinking is fine the black to the jack socket with the black from the pick up to the pot casing & the bridge ground wire too.

I was just going to post - who do we know played a Wal like this?

There's some strange wordiness in there, I don't think it's gonna be a straightforward sale.

Yep - happens all the time, once you've paid 'em they don't give a toss

Just get a P/J pick guard = 3 pots + jack

The Green silks sounds like Fender strings to me, I've had them before, they're OK & at a reasonable price. Nice offer Jack they'll do some one a turn no doubt. Cheerz, John EDIT: Jeezzzz how slow is my typing

I play for pleasure at home with an occasional get together with mates of similar age & ilk. Went through many bands - many years ago Self taught since about '64, always picked up tunes by ear, Kaz is still amazed when I hear a song on the radio, grab a bass & start playing along, then when it stops I'll usually carry on with a bit of extra freestyle thrown in! It's not just me is it? Cheerz, John

Yeah well deserved & thanks for the pic Cheerz, John

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1330778590' post='1562833'] It was fabulous. That is all. [/quote] Where have you been? That happened to me in errrrr 1967 or thereabouts, loved their music ever since & every time I hear any

What are the chances of pups removed from a 80's or any other P-bass ever having wires this long?

From those photo's I'd bet my stash & say there's no way that is a Fender body, it's just so wrong!
