Title: if you ever need to (re)wire your bass
Post by: Basvarken on February 02, 2019, 02:47:41 AM

Here's a pdf with all the information you'll ever need.
Although it is in German, there's lots of drawings and schematics, so it isn't too hard to understand

That's Andreas Kühn's site, Cadfael is his username on TDPRI (and probably elsewhere). He updates it periodically. Great resource.

It's strange I haven't seen his site before. It's been a staple on this other Dutch bass forum that I frequent, but somehow I have overlooked it all those years.
Very impressive piece of work. Deutsche Gründlichkeit!

It was a small collection at first. It's growing.

The version Rob posted is from 2017 and has 500 pages. I just looked at the oldest version I have on my current computer, version 3.35 from 2011. It has 307 pages. Someday maybe we'll see a future edition with diagrams for Rob's Brooks Basses.

He also has a directory of different Telecaster wiring schemes, and a fan site about the Brother Cadfael novels.
