Sorry folks, I'm on the other side of the pound, in Spain, so my time table is a bit different. These pictures have been around, about 5 years ago when I was trying to investigate about this beauty. I stopped playing the bass in the early 80s, as for the last 30 years I kept attached to a project as a guitarrist and lead singer. Now I have to meet my old folks from the 70s, when I was playing the bass, as the band is being awarded after all these years, and I want to play it. This bass was bought in the UK, from a complete set of instruments that were resident at Electric Lady in New York. Apparently was one of the basses used to record In from the Storm - the music of Jimi Hendrix produced by Eddie Krammer in 1995, with an incredible line-up of excellent musicians.
Anyway, the bass plays great, mechanically, but the wiring must be wrong. It was badly treated on the plane and the switch got broken. I changed it with a new 10 position one, trying to emulate what was in the original. Someone sent me information, about using a 12 position one, but I never tried it. So the bass is noisy. Although the bass seems to be not an official one - Mica said that once - all the electronics are genuine, so I'm hoping that a conventional diagram from that era will be fine to make it work properly again. I will have to post a few more pictures in a next post.
