Hamer bass with vibrato

Hi all-

I am new & this is my first post. MY brother has a friend who's daughter has a Hamer bass with a vibrato tailpiece. I vaguely remember a bass with a vibrato years ago (& always wondered "Why?")...anyway...

...does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram or knows how the controls on this bass should be connected? He is trying to put it back together. It was disassembled by someone else (the girl's boyfriend) who was going to refinish the bass (he got to it before this could happen). The kid took the entire assembly totally apart, for some unknown reason, but neglected to draw a diagram first. Now it is in pieces on a ziplock freezer bag...sounds like the caps were even taken off). I know he could reconnect it like his Jazz Bass & it would probably work OK, but he really wants to restore it.

If you can help or direct me to assistance, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Lee (strat_player01)

Lee:

Welcome! I think you are probably talking about a late 80s/early 90s Chapparal bass. I think we have wiring schematics on this site for most Hamers.
