All the ageing gold hardware was replaced with new black hardware, the MEC pickups and circuit was replaced with Bartolini pickups and a Darkglass Tone Capsule active preamp,
Due to keeping the bass factory parts and custom active circuit plus replacement LED fretboard electronics needed, the parts were sourced from Germany or the USA!
The original active circuit was very messy and barely fitted in the cavity | The new tone capsule pre amp fitted, with cts pots and specialist active pots from America |
