RSV60

Nice RonC, thx!

Sold my stingray for an Overwater and kept the Leader. Nobody wants the Leader or only for a very low price🤷🏻 But it’s in the family for 35 years now🙂

Thx 👌

RonC, nice one. I know exactly what you mean😆 years have been “kind” for me as well. I sometimes play the Leader, can’t sell it.🤷🏻

Wow, good one. I feel stupid not finding this on the name of the builder himself.

something went wrong converting images from iphone...

Gave my " Leader" 90's bass a cleanup and checkup today. Couldn't find anything on the internet anymore, so "posting time" (well over 30 years old). It is a bass from a Dutch builder, v.d.Hoeven from 's-Hertogenbosch. The small, somewhat "strange" body contains hollow resonance spaces and is therefore very light. While playing, the headstock could feel to tip over a little bit, but nothing serious. Shaller hardware, EMG pickup and preamp. Neck Thru:maple/Boire Body: Boire Fingerboard: Ebony it is not to everyone's taste, but plays easily and has a great sound. The basses where build as i know for a short time (end 80's begin 90's).

Thanks for your reply, i think John is busy at the moment🙃 Maybe the preamp is too old? However i could not wait so I have made the 4 connections of the circuit with the two pots liquid again with a soldering iron. It sounds OK for now. So maybe i fixed it (although i could not find any bad solder joints). If it turns bad again, maybe the next step is a new preamp 😔

I figured out the wiring. The problem with the passive/active pull knob is ok now. played for a week fine. But today, in active position i only get an disturbed noise. I noticed that the former owner has put some cardboard and tape on the electronics when i inspected it, so i removed that. Now i have put back the tape and cardboard and i get a normal active tone. So the tape and cardboard, were for putting pressure on the upper circuit board (with the " two plastic adjustable wheels") The bottom circuit board has an epoxy layer at the bottum as standard, so i cannot check the connections. Is there a way to fix this, or do i need to order a new preamp? i feel disappointed, bought an expensive bass, which was told " hardly been played on"

I bought an Overwater 4 string J bass from 2018, it got bartolini pickups with a J-tone 2 band EQ Preamp, but i found out that there has been fumbled with the preamp. The Passive/Active knob has been altered into a kill switch. Has anybody a wiring diagram of the outlet jack and the Passive/active pull knob/switch? Thx Jack
