lat89 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi guys, I have a Warwick Corvette Standard from 2004 I believe, and it's busted. Upon inspecting the electronics compartment it appears that the chip that connects to the battery connection as well as through to the stacked EQ pot has broken...please see image (just to the left of the input connection) Please please please could somebody with knowledge point me in the right direction for a fix for this? If you need more info let me know. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Ouch. If you look on the Warwick website you'll find a wiring diagram for your bass, which should tell you the part number of that stacked knob with PCB. The Warwick shop will then probably have it for sale, but it is likely to cost an arm and a leg. Thomann may have it for slightly cheaper. But it's a specialist part, so you don't have much option, except by replacing the whole preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Can you post some close up pictures of both sides of the broken bit - repair may (and is only may) be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lat89 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks for your reply guys, I'll post more pics in a couple of days, bass isnt with me at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 ok, whilst waiting for pics, does the small pcb fragment fix to the battery clip? If not, from where? this will allow me to do some further research (my rockbass corvettes are both passive so no help). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The pcb fragment has nothing to do with the battery clip, it has broken off from the other half of a pcb and it looks like the one on the right in your photo. Should be an easy job to repair if you're any good with a soldering iron. Just glue the board back together and bridge the tracks. If you're not, then I'm sure that there is someone you know or a luthier could fix it. If you end up not being able to get it fixed, if you could get the broken bits to me, I could make you a new pcb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
