Hello Guilder’s, I’ve been away for a while wanted say hi and get some feedback on a project Im about to start.
I snatched a tobacco sunburst Dearmond Starfire on the Bay. My intent is to mod the bass visually similar to Jack’s second Amebic from 1970. The tabacoo sunburst model that has the strips of maple laminated with the eight or so volume-tone knobs.
My first question is does anyone know how it was wired and what was the intent? I've read that they were primarily volume controls for the individual poll pieces. I feel pretty strongly about keeping this passive and 9volt battery free. My plan is to install Novack Bisonics or I could put in a pair of Dark Stars that I have. I also have a vintage bridge and of course...plenty of saddles.
Im pretty open to anything, even the front control area looking like Jacks, or I may just put in the pickups and call it a day. So what do you guys think?
