As received, the control plate on this Squier California Series J Bass was crudely attached to the body with masking tape, the bridge volume and master tone controls were stuck, and only the neck pickup made a sound. Further examination revealed stripped screw holes, disconnected wires, and widespread corrosion. To get the bass sounding as it should, a full rewire was carried out with Alpha A250K pots, a 0.047uf tone cap, and generic output jack.
