OK the wire in the link is fine, in fact almost anything with a conductor will do, nothing specific, no current or voltage involved, worth considering. Cheerz, John

Hey Dave, PM your address & I'll send you a bit mate. Cheerz, John

Stick with the Yamaha & save up until you can afford a proper bass not one churned out of a factory in China, it's only gas

Hey Duke - YHEM John

Looks like you've been stitched up mate Best of luck - seriously hope the op will prove it's worth in the not so long term, fingers crossed for you . Cheerz, John

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1349083318' post='1821383'] Excellent, that sounds like a winner - I'll have a play when they arrive. Now I just need to work out how to wire it up. [/quote] [font="Arial"]From the 6 way connector on the amp board, (looking at the circuit lets call the top/black/No.1), you should have a black wire, (common) going to the centre tab of your bass select switch, you need to link that to the centre of the new up/down switch, then from the same 6 way connector, you need to wire No. 4 blue to the down side & No.5 yellow to the up. Either way on the new switch, then fix the switch to suit.[/font] [font="Arial"]HTH,[/font] [font="Arial"]John[/font]

Well done Skol, you nearly got my vote but a Momentary Lapse of Reason & a touch of Granchester Meadows wouldn't let me

Like it a lot, reminds me of Adam Clayton though

If my memory serves me well - the old Post Office Jack Plugs were a bit bigger than 1/4" not smaller [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Strings%20and%20Things/plug_404.jpg[/IMG]

Polytune gets my vote, accurate & easy to see + solidly made, should last a very long time.

Now I'm awake looking at the circuit, one of the micro toggle switches I've sent will do the job instead of two buttons, centre biased toggle, up/down momentary action, should be ideal & will probably match your bass select switch. Give me a shout if I can be any further help, Cheerz, John

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1349040027' post='1821088'] You can also get non-latching sub-miniature toggle switches from Maplin - see [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/sub-miniature-toggle-switches-2341"]here[/url]. It's not clear whether they are all available, but types D and H should do the job. Also I have previously ordered stuff over the phone from Roland Extras - 01792 702701. [/quote] I just saw the above - I've got plenty of those too - I'll open the bag & stick a couple of them in too

I must admit - after Nige's poke I've had a fair listen to them all & what an inventive lot you are I saw the photo first of course, which set a preconceived sound trail in my head, so right or wrong I think I've voted for the soundtrack that came closest to my mind set. Very good

Honestly hadn't even seen it Nige, I'll have a look/listen now - thanks for the heads up

Just momentary action push button as far as I know, I only have those colours, the blue have short wires on, the green don't. PM your address & I'll send you a couple to try, foc. Cheerz, John

Hi Ped, I have a load of these - they are momentary action, not latching, you are very welcome to some to try if they're any good to you? [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Pics%20etc/20120930_175944.jpg[/IMG] Cheerz, John

My son has just had trouble finding a courier for a bike & a car seat. Both big & awkward, now he's found parcelmonkey, maybe worth a look.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1349018139' post='1820708'] Looks real to me, shame its a slab board, and not slab body, mind you, it would be 5x the price if it was! [/quote] Ah yes! That would explain it, there may just have been a little confusion in my poor old mind there for a minute or 12 Cheerz, John

I just spotted this on ebay real or not - I dunno [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Players-1961-Slab-board-Fender-Precision-/221118283124?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item337bad3d74&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1201"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Players-1961-Slab-board-Fender-Precision-/221118283124?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item337bad3d74&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1201[/url]

Bootiful Agree with Lozz about the scratch plate, I have a Fender Custom Shop Pearl that should have fitted straight on my AV '57, but not all the holes lined up perfect, it wouldn't lay flat. Uncle Horrid does make lovely plates, he's your best bet for a quality replacement. Cheerz, John

Yes they work & I've had no problem with 2 or 3 different models on different basses. Not sure which will suit the Warwick, go to Hipshot.com for the full range. I've never paid £95 for one though! Cheerz, John

Fender serial numbers what's the next 2 digits after 10? If you want a definite answer take the neck off & see what dates are on the heel &/or in the pocket. Cheerz, John PS You worry too much

Scalpel nurse! Sharp instrument to the scratch plate & mind your fingers, if you haven't got a Dremmel, got any files?
