Hi all,

i juz got a 2nd hand Aria AVB-100 in a pawnshop.
it's ash body and neck through.... thought it was a good deal.

i tried it at home with my amp and i was surprised that even if it's active it's not that loud....

pots have a scratchy sound and the eq knobs don't do much as well...

i need your advice coz i have some questions in mind:

Do you think i should have it rewired?
Could it be the pots or the preamp?
Can i replace the pikup with a passive pickup even if it's active?

I'm thinking of replacing the pups with Artec pups but im not sure if that will make a huge difference...

sorry guys im not so good with these electronic stuff

Thanks
