I met him at one of the Guitarist magazine shows in the early nineties and he came across as a nice guy.
I *think* these say "6KT" and "8KT" respectively rather than "SKY", but hopefully I'll get some clarification in due course ...
And probably some solder at the other end too.

Just had an email reply back from Kent, saying that he's forwarded my enquiry to his son Aaron - who's still in@
Hopefully I'll get some definitive info on the when, what & who of these units.
To wire in series, link 1 and 4 then join X to 3 and run to earth, use 2 as the live. With the p-bass just use the big tags as the earth along with one of the small tags, use the remaining tag on that half to link it to the same tag on the other half. Then use the last small tag as the live out.
The pickups are hand made by me by the looks of the hand writing, although my dads hand writing is pretty similar to mine (pretty un-tidy!). The p-bass pickup has a slightly thinner gauge wire than a standard p-bass, and slightly less turns with a ceramic magnet, this should give you a bright punchy sound. The jazz pickup is an SS humbucker (2 coils are on their sides with magnets in them and a blade of steel running down the length of the pickup. This should give you good attack but not the usual unwanted back ground hum of a jazz bass.
(His references to 1, 4, X, etc refer back to the pics I posted in this thread).
All the parts (pots, knobs, etc) arrived from axesrus yesterday, so, off to do some wiring today and hopefully get the thing put together.
