silentbob Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Just bought this on an impulse [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200394547575&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Got to be worth a punt at that price. Any ideas as to how much it will cost to repair the broken knob? Quote
Cat Burrito Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You;ve done well. £15 for a bass and the knob will only cost a few quid even if the pot is snapped Quote
Ou7shined Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Ha ha well done 15 quid. What do you plan on doing with it? Quote
lemmywinks Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 That's a bargain! Looks as though the "knob" is actually a broken string tree though, probaly just screw it back in? All the knobs look to be intact, if it's like the one i used it should be volume/bass/treble. From memory it sounds pretty good, the pre is a little cheap-sounding and it doesn't feel too much like a 'Ray. But hey, £15! Quote

[/quote] Had a look on the vintage website and it looks like it should have four pots instead of three, unless this is an earlier model which did only have three pots. I'll email the seller and ask for a more detailed pic. Quote
silentbob Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Seen a close up pic now, and one of the pots (of which there are three) has broken off flush with the body. The pot is the one furthest away from the bridge and jack socket. Does anybody know what this controls? Quote
lemmywinks Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah i think that's just the volume, might be able to salvage it or buy a new one for peanuts. Good score! Quote
KennysFord Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Isn't that the one for the flux capacitor. No more time travel till you get that sorted my friend. £15,nice one. Quote
