Basscabman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hey all I just picked up a really cheap SX stingray copy, The bass and mid pots are not working, The volume and treble work fine, I fitted a new battery but still nothing. Does It mean the pre amp Is dead? I have absolutely no Idea when It comes to wiring, I took the control panel off to see If there were any disconnected wires but couldn't see any. Any help would be great Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingerz Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hello mate, If you have output from the bass, and I assume the treble control is active/uses the preamp then the pre amp is not dead. It's more likely a contact or pot problem, and probably not complicated just requires some good knowledge to get in there and do it. I've always used the Gallery in Camden, Martin there is the electronics guy and he's really great. I've had issues with super rare stuff that he has figured out and sorted. I've never used your particular preamp so I can't comment further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basscabman Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Got another preamp arriving tomorrow mate. Gonna slam that In and see how it goes. I took It to a luthier and he said it was knackered so I went down this route. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
