Hey guys, I’m new to this community and hope you all doing great. I have 1998 Hohner HRB-DLX 4 strings bass and some time ago its preamp died. Luthier was unable to do anything with it and just made my bass passive. I contacted Hohner as well as Fishman to get info or spare parts but they told me that they don’t have any available as well as preamp schematics. Maybe someone has it? I really appreciate replies and suggestions.

Does anyone have schematics for Hohner HRB-DLX preamp (active pickups circuit)?

Welcome aboard, wovich.
I took a look around. Not much info on that bass. The folk that have them seem to like them.
Did the Luthier mention exactly what was wrong, like a specific component or components?
Can you take a couple of pictures of the front and back of the preamp and post them? Alot of experienced folk in this forum that might see something worth checking out. Maybe as easy as a bad or cold solder joint.

He just removed preamp because “the PCB has a burnout hole and I won’t be able to do anything”. It’s really sad because that preamp is super punchy but clean and I love how it sounds. Maybe I’ll find same bass and reverse engineer it. But I’ve seen like one on sale and they are quite rare. Unfortunately, he didn’t save it. It had hole near opamp as I remember.
