I just got a 1986 Distillate in, and there is a loose wire from the switches that likely connects to the circuit board. Can anyone help me out by posting a photo of their Distillate's circuit showing clearly the back of the circuit board, and the wires from the two tone switches? It would really help me to get this thing up and running asap. Thanks much! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11877 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2015 - 2:43 pm:    There are some pictures here. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8577 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2015 - 4:52 pm:    I think this should do the trick - but it might be hard to solder it in without removing from the bass. sonofa_lembic Member Username: sonofa_lembic Post Number: 74 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2015 - 5:40 pm:    Thanks for the link Dave. That gave me a clue as to the general area to look at, and I chose a spot that looked like the most likely it broke away from. Soldered it up, and all is working perfectly now. This is a great sounding bass! Thanks Mica and Ron for the photo. Not exactly where I soldered it, but it seems to be a-ok, so I am going with that. Time to get some playing in! sonofa_lembic Member Username: sonofa_lembic Post Number: 75 Registered: 5-2014 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 10:09 am:    One happy Distillate! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11879 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 1:40 pm:    Nice top! fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1759 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 1:44 pm:    Twin of my '88 Spoiler :-) hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1543 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 - 7:51 pm:    That looks like a sweet bass!
