Thanks for this great video. I've been banging my heads for months on a 1960's Firstman violin bass that I'm trying to bring it back to life. They were the only knockoff bass that was allowed to use the Hofner bass specs back in the day. Being a novice in repair, this was a great help to my old brain.
That was wonderful. This control panel IS nuts - honestly I gave up on trying to rationalize it once I saw that it starts upside down. Yes, it makes sense for the player to read it - but I still have never seen another electric bass/guitar with that orientation. Thank you very much for the enlightenment and you can now consider me a grateful subscriber... Be well!
Fantastic video, many thanks! This way it's finally crystal clear, had to discover this myself by trial and error years ago. Some of the quick explanations online sometimes make it less intuitive than what it really is, and it's not always easy to help others understand after that. Just to be sure, so it means that the bridge pickup has its (high-pass) capacitor always active, in both Treble On and Treble Off?

Thanks! This is such a super niche topic, I didn't know this would be of use to anyone (besides my old brain), so I appreciate your comment.
