Shonks Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 may be leds, or optical fibres - not sure. Acquired the bass recently. Has battery box just for the lights. 3x9v ...yes that's right 3... I know...! anyway, they don't work. There's a toggle switch in the main control cavity which is supposed to turn them on, and when I tug gently on the battery wires I can follow them. They go under the p'ups and into the main cavity, then they disappear down a hole somewhere. anyone with experience on getting these going - would appreciate any advice offered before contacting Warwick. thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Ou7shined Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Sounds like LEDs as optics are driven from a single led inside the control cavity. Get a multimeter on the battery connectors and test for continuity. Quote
warwickhunt Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 LEDs on a 91 bass, however it's unlikely that Warwick would be able to do anything for you (they are a factory fit I assume). You may be better off going to Simms or similar but someone competent with a multimeter may be able to identify if it is an easy fix. Quote
Shonks Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) hey!! found a dry joint on the switch..... luckily ...fixed it...!! Keep the post going for anyone else with the same problem. re the optic verses LED - your right, I had a thumb way way back, and I remember a tiny flashlight light bulb that drove the optics. There's no light source in the the body of this bass so it has to be LED's. Edited October 30, 2011 by Shonks Quote
