Do you know when Warwick/MEC started with the twin jazz pickup?The '89 bridge pickup is not only Bartolini, but also a humbucker instead of a twin jazz. It has a different shape and only 3 screws intead of the 4 a twinjazz has. AFAIK all Dolphins from this age were Boire (aka African rosewood). The MEC twin jazz pickup did not exist before 1991.

The latest incarnation of the one bass we all fear and love has three pots and a switch where the older ones have just two stacked pots. (which looks a hell of a lot better)
Layout from what I understand is vol (pull for passive), bal, stacked bass+treb. This does not add any new possibilities.
The switch though has me puzzled. Is this a two way or a three way switch? IE does it switch between two modes like the old dolphins or does it now allow single/series/parallel?
A man does not know.
Curious if anyone has any pics of Pro 1's from '88, or if there are any made in '88? A Google search shows the only mention being a black one sold on Basschat, but even that apparently was not proven to be a '88. I skimmed over 30 or so pages of the club here and only see '89's being the earliest ones mentioned. Granted, I didn't look at every page on here. Forgive me for not doing a super through look, but I was just wondering if anyone knew offhand.
I know the stated start date of Pro 1's has always been '88...but I can't find any proven examples. I read that they first made an appearance at a guitar show in '89, but the first ones were supposedly made in late '88. I know Kimgee owns B 019 89, which would be February in all likelihood. If the 19th Pro 1 was made in the second month of '89...how many, if any, were made in '88?
Thanks
I've got heaps of old Bass and Guitar Mags IIRC there is Dolphin reviews
Nice!
Any info on a '88?
