wazz Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Reluctant sale of this beautiful bass I've had since 1986 Overwater 4 string bass - passive Original shape Mahogany body and thru neck Ebony fret board Bill Lawrence blade pickups Pickups work but need wiring correctly to get the original passive tone. Headstock was cracked in 1987 and repaired brilliantly by Chris May around 1989. It's been rock solid ever since. Hence a reduced price of £750 wanted. Comes with a custom fitted full flight case.

waldflote8 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi, more to this than meets the eye [attachment=136399:ent 2.jpg] the two grey wires are coming in from the pups, with a treble bleed cap //resistor on each of the pup volume controls,.. tone control and a master volume with another bleeder circuit at the bottom,.. neat way to do it. the resistors look like 150k,..prob 1nF caps. Cap on the tone control looks like 47nF. No idea what the pot values are but probably the usual 500k - 1M. Look at that GND wire running really close to the top pot - methinks it is time for a tidy up in there, my pots are manky too. Need to check this out some more (got me interested) but looks like the bridge pickup is wired as a single coil (two coils parallel - Blk/Wh and Gr/Red) Neck pickup is conventional Gr/Wh joined, red hot, blk/screen to GND. Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll sketch it out or ?? Is yours intact / similar to this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
