I have a Kalamazoo bass that I used as a kid. My guess it's somewhere between a 1966/67 bass. Well it's been in a state of disrepair for many years and recently I have decided to bring it back to life. My question is how was the pickup mounted to the guitar; Does it mount to the pickguard or is it attached to the guitar body somehow? The reason for asking this is most of the original screws are missing and I'll have to order new ones to replace them. And I'd like to make sure I'm on the right track!

Mine attaches to the PG.

Jules, Thanks, this really helps! From looking at your picture it appears that some work has been done to the electronics. I see there is an additional capacitor in the tone circuit and a new input jack. Just curious if there are some things that can bring out better tone in this bass.

What are your tone issues with this bass? If muddiness of the pickup is one of them, then there ain't much you can do with that pickup.
