if you ever need to (re)wire your bass
« 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

Can't find the RD Artist...  :mrgreen:

(nice find)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

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!

"Kleine Sammlung..." :P :P :P
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

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.
