I'd say change your mind & get something completely different - 'cos it seems that you're not totally commited & in love with what you ordered in the first place - or you wouldn't be asking us lot It'll end in tears

Depends what the finish is but Lighter fluid, (refined petrol), as used by Jimi Hendrix is good or WD40 or some aerosol deodorants - I believe. Even 'sticky stuff remover' made for the job, available most places Edit for link?: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sticky+stuff+remover&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gws_rd=cr&ei=j5zaV8OrMeXYgAbZlabYDw

What happened to PMT & talking to 'the amp tech'?

Perhaps users don't like the switch because - as shown in your link - that circuit only by-passes the signal from the preamp to straight out. It doesn't cut the power from the preamp so draining battery all the time the bass is plugged in, even though the signal is not even going through the amp.

It sounds likely that a earth wire has come adrift somewhere, maybe inside a mains socket, possibly affecting all sockets on that circuit. If you're not confident with home electrics - please get someone qualified to take a look - after all it could save a life!

If anyone buys a bass at the seller's asking price - the buyer must be happy or he wouldn't of paid the price & the seller must be happy or he wouldn't have asked that price - nobody else's business! The new owner may/may not find it's what they wanted, and/or spend time & money on new parts, strings, setup etc. or even just cleaning & polishing - resulting in a bass that to them is worth more than they paid. Nothing wrong with asking a higher price to sell it - back to the top ^^ see line one

Yes you need a switch, DPDT IIRC with the the 470K resistors & the circuit modified to suit, if your's hasn't got it. Cheerz, John

Hi Andy, The by-pass switch circuit shown on the TC1-6 page on your link should do the job. file:///C:/Users/John%60s/AppData/Local/Temp/TC-Booster-Preamps.pdf Cheeerz, John

If you can find a link to exactly what circuit you've got - I'll have a look Cheerz, John

Hi Bajanbass, Not been there for a long time but loved the island when I was working there for Cable & Wireless but spent my spare time swimming, snorkeling, diving, fishing, you know how hard it is! Cheerz, John

I made a replacement kit/passive conversion for Brians dual MM bass that was troublesome, he's a pleasure to deal with, spot on communications & instant payment. Cheerz, John

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1468388073' post='3090542'] I am disappointed that you used the word 'someone' instead of 'NE-1' in the thread title. A missed opportunity. [/quote]Very good

Cheers chaps I'm never far away & probably no need to send me the bits, a solderless wiring kit means you can change/fit new pick ups in minutes, with no burnt fingers

Yes - looks like a typical Fender mess IMHO the pots need 'straightening up' to avoid any contact between the tags & inside the control cavity, or even breaking off the cap! Cheerz, John
