  1. Hey grog, if you get a chance email me at tom@apintl.com or call me at 732-966-3385. Also, if you have it, can you fire me Fly's contact info?
  2. Here is an update: Tried to rewire it back to normal per the picture on Fly's website. I think I have it right but now can't tell if the pickups are functioning correctly. It is serial number 83417683 Ferrari Red (well used to be, but the paint is really bad) The Steinberger signature and 20/20 on the upper horn are still decent. The pickguard has a hole in it for an afternarket toggle and the corner by the upper horn is broken off. I had to replace every screw on the pickguard as well as all the hunbucker screws and springs. It was missing all the springs and the screw heads were stripped. All the tuners work. Thanks to Roger at Sperzel, I have replacement spacers and knobs on the way, so the tuners, once I straighten the one post, will all be back to good function. I'm on the fence with painting this, as the paint is really bad. I'm still glad I rescued her from some guy in Baja Mexico, but I might go onto the PayPal and dispute the charge. tom
  3. Bass arrived! Paid $400 and sort of pissed I did. Its in bad shape. Fixable but bad. It had a toggle wired in, and the input jack is broken. One tuner is bent an missing the knob but Roger at Sperzel is fixing me up best they can. The bass will live again. Today I disassembled her and cleaned everything. This was covered in dirt. Thanks to a pic on FlyGuy's website I have a wiring picture, so I can restore it.. I'll post pix soon. Can one of you call me at 732-966-3385? Thanks!
  4. Thanks. Been to this a ton of times. Some good info, and I'm in touch with FLy himself. I was hoping that someone from Gibson trolls the threads and could shed some light. Otherwise, I'll call Ned when he gets back from MusicMesse. Thanks again!
  5. I just purchased off of Craigslist a Gibson 20/20 bass. Unfortunately I cannot find any old catalogs or spec sheets. This one has a broken tuner and may need body painting. Before I chew her up, I'ld love some information on the electronics system as well as anything else anyone knows. So, help?
