ESH Owners... a little help!?!

[Funkus Barfucal]

A friend loaned me his ESH 4 string Various. This is certainly LOVE At First Feel (I am plotting how to talk him out of it - lol). This bass certainly has many different tones in it too.

Now down to the meat and potatoes... the bass has 4 controls, two pots and two rotary switches.

-Volume
-Tone (treble roll off)
-Mode selector: passive, passive w. Piezo, active, Studio (volume & tone pots bypassed)
-Pickup Selector: Bridge, both PUs parallel, Bridge + Mid Boost, both PUs in series.

The Pup selector switch gets scratchy. If I twist it back and forth, that seems to clear it up for a bit, however, I want to fix this problem. I have taken off the control cavety cover and am finding that the switch has a small PC board soldered on to it.

Any clue on how to fix this little guy's problem or where to find a replacement? I'd love to play this bass live but don't trust it in its current condition.

Thanks,

I think you might want to do a search on the net... I think they've gone under... and are no more...

To quote Ed McMan - "You are correct, Sir!"

I was hoping that someone here on TB might have a clue on how to remedy this switch's problem. Maybe a way to clean it? or just replace it? If replace it, then what switch might be a direct drop in replacement, with some soldering of course.

I just found a service link on their website.

Perhaps they might be able to help!

It's an easy fix and you will not need
any help from ESH for that.

You do realize that this thread is over a year old?

Jeeezzzz,
I found that via the search function because I play ESH basses and I saw the last post
was in 2009 and didn't really pay attenton to that.
