Ouchee momma!

Cool. I might. I found a website that has many of the diagrams, but many of them are hand drawn and not too clear. I'd appreciate any documentation he might have. This is the X340 model.

Thanks.

Go here and email him (or call). His name is Ben...great guy.

How much does it weigh assembled?
What year is it?

What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

Late 70s premium Japanese LP copy with the somewhat gimmicky idea of onboard modular FX.

They were surprisingly expensive in their day. Listed almost as high as a Gibson LPC.

Kinda collectible these days. Cool stuff.

Hang on... all the onboard effects are stock? Weird.

Good luck.

I played one of those at a store years ago. Fun little thing it was.

About 9 lb's. Early 80's. Heavy sucker.

I know Chris Squire from Yes had an Electra bass with those built-in effects, and used them quite a bit around 1978-1980. They sounded great when he used them.

Stock might be misinterpreted as "included." Not included. Most modules where around $40 back then. The Phaser was around $70, and the Flanger came in around $135. Big bucks in 1984.

Have fun! Are the modules working individually? If so, it shouldn’t be all that bad right?

[ArtieToo]

Are the modules working individually?

I gotta do a bunch of work before I can even get to that point. The 9-volt battery connection is totally MIA.

[Ashurbanipal]

Wowee, you don't see those every day!

Looks like this has the Maxon 'Magnaflux' pups, which were made using deliberately mismatched coils. Iirc, the square pole coil is the one with the higher dcr.

Yup. They're called "Super Magnaflux." They work good, and sound good. But I can't try them individually 'til I rebuild the rotary "superswitch."

[Ashurbanipal]

Yeah. Not that long ago you couldn't give those things away even as fridge magnets, now people have figured out that they actually sound fine .

Do you happen to know what kind of magnet they were loaded with? I've seen some taken apart and it looks like a kind of alnico.

No. And I can't dig TOO deep into this because it's a customers guitar. I just gotta make it work.
