I was wondering wat the technical details are on this bass. Used woods, electronics, etc. I am planning on selling it, wat would be the value of it? It's a white (!) Edwin van Huik signature. I guess it was custom made back then. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1482 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, September 06, 2013 - 3:53 pm:    I stole these pics from Marktplaats: Link Looks awesome! sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3018 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, September 06, 2013 - 4:30 pm:    Yes , I like that .

It will take some time but Mica will pull the build information on the serial number and will post all of the details here. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3626 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 19, 2013 - 11:46 am:    Zom you have made a great choice there. That's a lovely bass. I don't know what your budget is but I'd be tempted to get the brasswork gold plated or at least dismantle the bridge and tailpeice and exercise some TLC with some brass cleaner. It deserves to glisten.

Reminds me of My old White John Birch SG. Wish I never sold it! They are really sought after now. And you can't buy one for Love nor money. Best 6 string I ever owned. So keep it and enjoy.

What a mystery! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8387 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 7:32 pm:    But they are probably Signature with 3-position Q switches, but they extra 2 switches I don't know about. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1826 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, February 06, 2015 - 10:42 pm:    Um, I really hesitate to disagree with you on something like this, Mica, but I only see 1 extra switch, beside the LED (I'm guessing an on/off?) Peter mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8388 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2015 - 10:06 am:    I thought it looked like 2 switches by the output jack but one was broken. But yeah it does seem to be an LED. This detail is not recorded in the instrument file. But on/off for a single LED? I still wonder what the switch is for. Many mysteries! keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2152 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2015 - 10:15 am:    Anniversary electronics maybe? It would explain two switches by the jack. Keith edwardofhuncote Advanced Member Username: edwardofhuncote Post Number: 214 Registered: 2-2015 Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2015 - 11:35 am:    I believe this same bass was discussed here: http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/197383.html?1409445204 and here: http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/185927.html Somewhere within, someone proposed it might have Anniversary electronics with a stand-by switch rather than a pickup selector. Post also indicates the indicates it's wired for mono output only. Looks like it's been refinished back to natural since the first inquiry, but it was drop-dead gorgeous both ways... I'm gonna be thinking about this one the rest of today now! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1827 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2015 - 10:38 pm:    I meant an on/off for the power; I'd think the LED would be a status indicator for same. Peter mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8389 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2015 - 9:09 am:    I know it's not on/off for power. That would sound the same as unplugging the cable. Maybe a mute? We will have to wait to see.
