My 73 4001got "checkerboard binding", split thooth bridge ,toaster p/u,wavy tuner's,and a beautiful sound.

Life is a good thing.

PS:Does the year 73 is special for Basses?

Whit mapleglow finish, she is a beauty.

Michel.

Thank's every one.
You've been very hepful.
I will get the treble p/u rewind.
My bass:73 4001,79 Precision P/J EMG,Washburn pro fretless, whit p/j, bass lines p/u.Jay Turser Musicman copy (tuned,BEAD) and a Gibson EB-0 66" medium scale".If i could help anyone in any way, it would be a honor for me.

I had removed the guard, and the swicth selected for treble, again128k.Same thing whit the center lead unsoldered.
I removed the treble p/u assy,and again all wires look ok

The toaster 7.2k is right on,so, i will check the wiring diagram,just to be sure,and look for a replacement p/u.

Any other ...

At 129k on my ohmmeter (7.2K toaster),something is wrong.
I start looking for Mr Silva.

I will keep you informed.

I read this morning part 5,so i know what to do whit my tuners.

Again, thank you.

Michel.

It's a good thing to be able to do both.It open a new range of feels,and riffs,especially whit RIC basses.

Michel.

I check and clean both (jack and switch)and again , the treble p/u did not have much gain.
I,ve got it since 84 and she's always been like this.Anyway's i will do something whit the treble if i can.
Whit checker binding,split tooth bridge,i think she can worth a bit ,and i will put money in it to ...

I ear that J.Anderson is sick or something and can't tour.
It's suppose to be a guy from Montreal singing!!!!.
It's that true?

Sorry
I didn't explain mysefl right.
The toaster is maybe 2x louder then the treble.
I can't rise the treble high enough too compensate.
You know what happen when the string touch the screw.

WOW!!!
Those are real "oeuvre d'art", beautiful bass.

i've got 2 caps and ,i already bypass the treble one .
Didn't see any difference though.

Thank's

HI!
First time for me.
Great article very nice information.
I got a 4001 (march 73 MG) whit a big difference in gain ,toaster versus treble (possibly HS)p/u.
Didn't care in stereo but whit 1 amp its an another story.
Can i do something about it?.
Thank's
Mike
