I'm fixing a Jansen 50 atm for a friend. Filthy mess inside, chassis looks burned around the powertube sockets from some past melt down. Ran a proper earth for the power cord, and a separate signal ground... both were previously soldered together is a glob that was only touching the chassis, not actually bonded to it. :rolleyes:

Needs caps and new tubes but still sounds good!

Prolly gonna fuse the B+ for him... if anyone has any ideas. Thinking ~800mA sloblo
segway, but it's a bass amp mkay

hey bass fullas, what do you reckon a used PJ set of SD Antiquities would go for? Thinking of swapping something else in, but wanting to not put too much more cash into something i'm not using a lot.

New price * 0.6 if you’re lucky, but uncommon items are somewhat unpredictable

Yeah, new price of them was much higher than I thought as I could only find the p and j sold separately, so at 60% id possibly be down grading money wise compared to what I'm thinking of putting in, just not sure if there's as big a pickup market for bass stuff compared to guitars.

Probs $220ish

PJ is a slightly less common format so might be waiting a while.

It's a setup where you have precision and jazz pickups in the same bass :)

Stands for Precision Jazz.
Lots of P players in the 70’s chuck a Jazz bridge pickup for more bite and variety.
