| FYI,
The replacement pickup and electroncis is an Aria Pro II pickup and circuit ordered directly from Aria USA. The same setup used on their new reissues.
All knobs and switches work fine. The only minor problem, is in the standard mode,(two modes with the two way switch, one for just volume/tone, the other for utilizing the big multi position tone switch) the volume will not quite turn down all the way in standard mode. In the mode that allows the multi position switch to be utilized, the volume turns down just fine. This is the mode where 95% of players who use SB's play anyway. So, not a big deal.
I was told that the volume pot that will not turn all the way down in standard mode is likely due to one failed part on the circuit board. (resistor, capacitor). But, an entire circuit for an SB1000 from Aria USA (excluding the pickup) is only $65, and that includes the preamp, all pots, switches, etc.
Order that, Connect four wires, and that volume knob problem goes away.
Sending this to ebay at about midnight.
