I cleaned all the electronics and was able to raise the pickup. That had a positive effect of increasing the output. It still has a lot of noise when the active circuit is engaged, though. Any advice on how to solve that issue?

Once I sort out the electronics, I will do a full cleaning, polish and setup and hopefully get it closer to original condition.

I have MIM Fender Jazz, Squier Fretless, Epiphone Jack Cassady and an active Carvin BB75. All of them are booming compared to the Aria, the person I got it from acknowledged the issue but did not know the origin. He claimed to have owned it since the 80's but had not been playing it for a while.

These are active electronics so I replaced the 2 9V batteries. Here are some pics. How would I raise the pickup position? What readings should I be looking for on my multimeter when checking the different components aside from continuity.

Thanks. I cleaned all the pots with spray cleaner. No noise when using them. The main problem is that there is very low output/volume from the guitar. All my other passive/active guitars a booming at 3 on my amp and I have to crank up to 9 for the Aria.

I finally got my first Aria Pro SB-1000 ! The only issue is that the output level is very low. Please see this thread in Pickups and Electronics. I would appreciate any advice ! Low output - Aria Pro II

I recently acquired a 1983 Aria Pro II SB-1000. It seems to be all original and in good condition. The main problem is that the output level is very low. Also when I disengage the BB circuit it generates a lot of noise. I put in two new 9V batteries for the active electronics. I would...

Hi All ! I've been playing bass for 25 years and guitar before then. Had the pleasure of playing in original bands in and around NY for many years but have mostly been a home hobbyist for the last 10. I have a a couple of Fender Jazz basses and a Carvin BB75 that I custom speced a while...
