Mystery Baggs preamp

[cromorne]

Hi. A friend of mine gives me an old lr baggs model fretless godin bass. The battery cables are out the preamp. I don't know where to connect them on the preamp. Please can you help me ? (Sorry for my bad English).

Hello cromorne,
What model is your Godin Bass?

Hello, I don't know what model it is. It is just written LR BAGGS MODEL. On the back it is written made in canada and a number: 8799. Hope it will help !

Hi Cromorne,

Did your bass' preamp have one or two battery snaps?

If there was one, it is most likely an A4 model

If there are two, it is an Acoustibass model.

In the Acoustibass, the two battery leads are wired in series. When you hold the preamp so that the battery wire contact points are on the upper left, they are soldered (-)(+)(-)(+) and yes the positive from the first lead is connected to the negative of the second battery lead in the middle of the four contacts.

Please reply here or write to [email protected] for clarification.

My bass preamp had one battery. Not enough place for two with the preamp. I 'll make a photo of the preamp and you'll see what preamp it is.

Thanks TB
