Lovely job, Andy. Looks like new!

I’m ordering some Dunlop finish restorer or meguirs swirl and haze remover - also going to make the ding near the controls more invisible.

“So much so...the sadowsky should be sold...” hahaha

Nah - not saying that.

Never sell that one, like even if you got back what you got for it you would spend multiple times that over the next ten years trying to find another P that suits! 

(or you will be so made up with your Wal you won’t need a P...)

Today’s task. Sort the 2 point series/parallel switch which has been intermittent.

Cleaner...nowt.

Open up the back. Loose (off) wire.

Easy peasy - look - an empty prong with a blob of solder, magic - that’s it.

Yep, signal...good. Solder.

Not an ounce of difference, well...no, just nothing.

de-solder.

touch test, signal from a couple...took a faff of hold/strum etc.

Solder. Magic. Works and deffo series/parallel.

still intermittent. FFS. Switch is goosed/on its way out.

I love switches. If I ever have a custom bass built, it will have switches on it. They probably won't do anything.

A “producer” switch and a “DFA” switch.
