Passive is working fine all pickups. When you throw the switch to the EQ it works and is a major boost. If you wiggle the cord while in ACTIVE mode, you will hear crackling and feedback. As is VERY common with vintage Ibanez, the input jack for active is not functioning properly. Generally, that means replacement. Not a huge deal, but like I said, I want you know whats going on. Its very possible it could use a cleaning and some contact fluid. Safe bet would be a new input for the active. The Eq knobs all function ok when it is in active. Am I going to need schematics and diagrams to get this stuff fixed or is it just an imput jack problem? If yes to the first question, could anyone mail me some? Thanks! jscottpeters@gmail.com is my email. thanks, Josh   Roland_g303 Username: Roland_g303 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 3:46 pm:    Here's the Schematic. Hope this helps.

You also might want to check your input jack for cold solder joints. I'd definitely do that before digging into the schematics I posted.

With needle-nose pliers, or tweezers, try to bend those a little bit, so they are tighter,and make better contact with the plug!   Joshkava Username: Joshkava Registered: 8-2007 Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 12:08 am:    Thanks, guys.. sounds like a plan.. and thanks Roland!!!
