The cap has an encircled s followed by what appears to be 103k When both switches are on I get a reading of 5.6-5.7 Ohms this is all after the switches but before the pots The volume pot is labeled B-100K Ohms and the tone pot labeled B-500K Ohms The Neck pickup reads 2.9 Ohms and the Bridge pickup reads 2.8 Ohms

In any event I've decided to fix it so this morning I disassembled it and here is what I found

The finish has a subtle metallic sparkle to it that might not be visible in the photos.So years ago my grand mother gave me my uncle's guitar from when he was a boy I never really did much with it because it was in rough shape and there seemed to be a loose connection inside(every now and then the volume would cut out and then a loud pop and the volume would be back It kind of sounds like plugging and unplugging the guitar cable at volume so I'm assuming it's either the input jack or some other loose connection or bad wire?) I don't think that can be too healthy for an amp so I haven't plugged it in in years Plays just great and boasts a hot single coil vintage tone. This bass is super stylish and ready to rock! Get a load of the lengthy headstock on this guy! This is one of the more popular and collectible basses that Teisco ever produced, and you can't beat the price here for a fully functional specimen. The metal faceplate on the headstock of the bass is a little scratched up from contact with strings, but it seems as though thats what it was there for in the first place. Some minor cosmetic wear should be visible in the photos. General Cosmetic Condition: This bass, like most instruments of it's age, has a few minor dings and scrapes around it's edges, but nothing major or visible from more than a couple feet away. 080' on the treble side, measured at the 12th fretįret Wear: Fret wire is thin in size and shows very minimal fret wear construction, Rosewood fingerboard with unique rectangular fret markers, finish on the neck exhibits almost no wearĪction. Hardware: All original, very cool matching matte metal pick guard and headstock plate Electronics: Two single coil pickups, 1 master volume, 1 master tone, large 2-way on/off switches for both pickups
