[musictlk] Broken bass update.

[Andrew English (paper music)]

Robert,
    Unless you have experience working inside your bass, I would suggest you 
take it to your local music store that sells and repairs these instruments. 
The cost is minimal ($40 for my last re-wire job) and it's worth the peace 
of mind knowing that it's done right. If you're looking to restore the 
instrument to it's original state, that can get more expensive, especially 
if you're trying to hunt down the original potswitches. If you're okay with 
settling for modern hardware, it's too easy not to do it professionally.
