OldGit Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi has anyone installed DIY S1 wiring on a (non fender) Jazz? Is it possible with a push pull rather than a Fender S1 switch and pot? What woud I need? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 i just phoned Fender in Reading or wherever it is they're based. The S1 switch is available as a part, however they are only supplied as a warranty part and if your bass is out of warranty, they will sell you a new one [b]but[/b] they want the serial of your bass and they expect you to send the old one back before they will release your shiny new switch. Protective or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 oh well, sod 'em. I have just realised I have an S1 precision and as we all know, the switch on those is about as much use as a bottom without an orifice. I might pull that pot off, replace it with an ordinary pot and knob and put the S1 on the jazz. dink dank doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 that was option number 1, but I could just swap the pots over, although i'd have to try and get an S1 knob from somewhere and fender probably want 3 forms of ID, a copy of my bass and proof that i'm not going to use it play in any musicals.

Good luck with your knob search John! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
