Thanks. Yes that does make sense with the active pickups, but the pickups in the SR690 are passive DX pickups. I’m working on adding active/passive switching and when I test in passive mode and the balance knob is centered the output level really drops and loses a lot of definition. I think this...

So I got the wiring diagram specific to my SR690 from Ibanez this morning. They asked for my serial number to ensure they sent the right one. Here is the wiring diagram that is floating around the internet: Here is the one they sent me for my SR690: Yes, @crazycloud, it is essentially...

Okay. Thanks. The catalogs all list the AFR pickups as active, as does all the info on all the basses with the AFR pickups in the Ibanez Wiki…”Active Full Range”…but they’re passive?

I picked up the 2001 SR690, $350…absolutely everything the seller purported it to be…with OHSC, in beautiful, beautiful condition…I’m not sure there is so much as a scuff or scratch on it. It’s 25 years old, needs a little buff and polish and I need to tweak the intonation and action, but...

My first bass was a Yamaha RBX200F…fretless bass with a single split-coil pickup, J-bass inspired body and neck…got it from a local music shop in college…came with an ill-fitting Charvel case missing some latches…I replaced the factory pickup with an EMG Select pickup and removed the volume and...

Hey everybody, I’m assuming it’s not right for the wiring inside a CB-100CE to be able flop around so that it comes in contact with the top or bottom inside right? Mine does this, like the harness is not restrained. Can anybody tell me how it’s supposed to be restrained? I see remnants of a...

I might just do that. Thanks! Anybody else experience dead spots on the fingerboard?

Anybody know what type/gauge strings were originally installed on a CB-100CE? After playing around with my new-to-me AGB the action is definitely not right…too high…and I don’t like how the strings feel…I’m pretty sure they’re heavier gauge than what it’s setup for. Would like to try a different...

No that’s the sum total of the s/n. Yeah I was wondering if it’s like certain opamp date codes were the first two numbers are the week of the year and the second two numbers are a two-digit year code.

s/n is 311621427.

Not sure! Is there an easy way to tell? Serial number registry?

It came with the bass…couple pics below. And as somebody else confirmed yes CB-100CE.

Yes, but fortunately it’s just a clamp-on rest…no ABGs were harmed in the addition of the rest.

I’ve wanted an ABG for a long time, but just never pulled the trigger…picked this up yesterday…CB-100 with nice gig bag, $200. It’s in almost new condition, looks like it’s barely been played. I’m surprised how good it sounds and how well it’s made for what it is. The guy I bought it from got it...

And really...how the hell are you supposed to access the truss rod? It’s like a tease...”look but don’t touch”
