Hi,

I have a fault on my newly purchased 1984 Aria SB1000, the seller has agreed to pay for any repair and ideally I am looking for someone in the Cambridgeshire area who can carry out a repair
and a set-up on the bass.

The PUP was replaced aboout 2 years ago and it seems to be working perfectly in active and passive.

The issue is the 6 way selector, that when in active mode makes no change to the tone, and with each turn of the switch I get a loud crackling sound, it has been suggested it could be anything from dirty contacts to a capacitor leak, I have had a look and all seems visibly ok - but as a non techie would rather have a professional review and repair it.

Anyone know of a good repair tech that could do the job for me?

Cheers,
Steve.

You say the 6 way selector doesn't work in active mode. Are you saying that it does work in passive mode? If that's so then there is nothing wrong with the 6 way selector switch. It may be it's intended not to work in active mode.
