Yes, considering age and questionable electronics, a new harness and pots would be wise.

The coolness factor of that bass is extreme!

have not touched the electronics yet, except to shoot some contact cleaner, which cleaned up the neck volume to where it's almost scratch-free.

You bet!
I'm quite frustrated right now 'cause we only have "Beatles only" gigs. We don't play a "British Invasion" show for another 2 weeks, so I'll have to wait.

That one's got the same bridge as mine. Interestingly, the output jack is on the face.

Wow. Two Orfeus (Orfeii?) on one small forum. Are we trendsetters or what?
Wanna join the new trend?
