mynameisjoe Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Sorry for the probably silly question. I intended to start learning bass a while ago, life and work got in the way and it sat in the corner gathering dust. Now that things have eased up I decided to dust it off and put some new strings on. But before I did it got a good clean. I removed everything I could so I could get into all the nooks and crannies, I was a little shocked when I opened the cover for the pots, looks like it was soldered by a monkey. So I got the soldering iron out, downloaded the wiring diagram and removed the lot. The only discrepency between original wiring and the diagram was that the pots for the front and rear pups were swapped. I reconnected as per wiring diagram, Ibanez GSR200. Everything back together, strings on and tuned. When I plug my VOX AC30 in and then connect my earphones I only get sound out of the right hand earpiece, is that normal? I can't remember what it was like before as it was so long ago. Headphones work ok on other devices, new batteries in bass and VOX. Is this just the way it is or am I missing something silly?

SamIAm Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I would expect sound both sides. I believe the Vox had a “drum” effect, if you get that going does it come out both sides or just the one? S’manth x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Have you tried connecting something to the AUX input and seeing if that comes out in stereo? I'd expect sound out of both earphones. The right earphone would go to the ring connection on the socket and the left would go to the tip, so it sound like either the tip isn't connected or you haven't pushed the earphones plug in fully.

mynameisjoe Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Cheers guys, I will check both suggestions today. I ran out of time yesterday so apologies for the late reply. I shall report back with my findings when I get a minute or two. Edited January 30, 2023 by mynameisjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisjoe Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 As it turns out, I was being a little thick. The in ear ones I tried first also have a mic. I've just plugged in a pair of over ears without a mic, and they're working perfectly. I don't know why I did'nt think of that before as they have completely different pin configuration!!! Feel a little bit silly now, sorry guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
