restoring a westone concord bass I
hello, i don't know know if anyone can help but.... i got a westone concord I bass ( or a concord II) i cant tell because there is no numbers on it or the name on the headstock , i only know its a westone because of the body shape and the westone name on both the neck back plate and the tune pegs , i got it from a charity shop for £20 so no bad i guess , it is missing its pickgaurd , does anyone know where i can source one from? and also its missing the control plate with the pots but i still have the pickups ( i don't know if their original, they have the yellow black and blue wiring, does anyone know how to wire one ?
any help would be appreciated
cheers g

Hi Grants
try here for a Concord I wiring diagram:
http://www.westoneguitars.net/fixme/wiring-diagrams/concord-i-bass/
and here for a Concord II
http://www.westoneguitars.net/fixme/wiring-diagrams/concord-ii/
and the pickguard is all in one piece, see here
http://www.westoneguitars.net/basses/concord/
You won't be able to get a new plate, but there may be a chance one of our esteemed members could do you a template so you can buy a blank piece and cut it yourself.
if it's a 32.25" scale it will be a Concord I, and a 34" scale is a Concord II.
what colour body do you have?

Re: restoring a westone concord bass I
I don't have one of these basses nor am I an electronics wiz, but have a look here
http://www.westoneguitars.net/fixme/wiring-diagrams/concord-i-bass/
my guess would be the yellow is hot, (red in the picture) and the black being earth, so have a go with some crocodile clips for a temporary connection and see how you get on.
It won't be long before someone more skilled than me chimes in with the info you need.
