Breathing Life Into Edwards E-T 95BIV
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2021 2:29 pm
Hi All
Hoping someone can help me out here. I bought an (ESP Japan) Edwards E-T 95BIV Tetsuya bass and need some pointers getting it back up and working.
I played an original one of these in Japan about ten years ago and really liked it. I recently bought one that has had all its electronics removed and PUPs replaced with EMG Jazz PUPS from different basses.
I have material for the pickguard that matches the original and can cut it myself. I ordered a Bass VI control plate, as well.
Where I really need help is the wiring of this bass. I can't find too much info on the switch controls or a wiring diagram that shows what is going on under the hood. My understanding is that this bass is identical to the Grass Roots version, but information is scarce on each.
I believe one switch activates/bypasses a boost mode. Does anyone know the specs of this circuit and how the bass itself is wired?
Also, it would be interesting to know if there are any other PUPs on the market that are similar or a match to the original stock PUPs.
Any help here is much appreciated!
