Gibson Victory Standard wiring

Victory bass circuit photographs and description

Electrical components on the Gibson Victory Standard are accessible by removing the pickguard. The wiring loom of the single-pickup Victory Standard contains one 300KΩ volume control (part 70-031) and one 100KΩ tone control (part 70-033) - these are both shorter shaft potentiometers, suitable for scratchplate mounting - also used on later versions of the Grabber and G-3 basses. Gibson had some stocks of these pots, and they are regularly 3 or 4 years older than the bass they are fitted to.

The Victory humbucker has three coated wires (red, black, translucent white) and a ground, all of which connect to a two-way switch, offering coils-in-series and coils-in-parallel wiring.

See also the Victory Standard circuit schematic, with simplified wiring diagram.

1981 Gibson Victory Standard wiring and circuitry - from one of the earliest examples - 1981 Gibson Victory Standard. Serial number dates to 17/6/1981, pots are dated 1978. Capacitor is 0.1µF.

This scratchplate comes from a bass produced some four months later than the example above, late October 1981, but pots date to 1977 and 1979. The earth wire (black) has most likely been moved from the tone pot to the jack. Note also the blue capacitor, a different style to the one used above, but still the same value.

I love this bass, but I have too many and need to make room. This is an amazing bass, it sounds and plays excellent. That's real play wear on it, not some relic job. It's the real deal. It's super versatile, being able to handle any genre with ease, and it can easily go from smooth and clean to downright mean. I can't remember the weight on this one, but it was just under 11lbs, I want to say 10lbs, 14oz. I'll weigh it again later and update this. It's a big bass.

This a killer bass and a total P bass killer. Gibson released these to compete with the p bass and they are far, far, better quality. Mahogany body, Mable neck, brass nut, active and passive humbuckers with MOOG electronics! All original with the original case. The original case is pretty beat up with a buckle replaced but still road Worthy. Original paperwork still with it. The guitar is set up to play easy with a low action and great sound.

1981 Gibson Victory bass guitar

Brighton, UNITED KINGDOM

£2250

Very rare 1981 Gibson Victory bass in gorgeous candy apple red made in Nashville, TN. Had a recent service in May 24. Comes with leather strap and a generic case to carry it in. Plays excellently, just some obvious cosmetic damage to paint as it was made over 40 years ago - gives that worn look musicians desire. Please inspect all photos and message for any questions. There are some really nice YouTube videos of this bass model and I recommend you watch them
