    LEDs now working
  2. Beedster
    Well, I'm embarrassed to say it was the battery, which despite being pretty fresh and powering the preamp and PUP lights just fine, wasn't powering the LEDs. We live and learn! @itu many thanks, and many thanks to everyone who pitched in! I've never used these before, they are extremely bright, it's going to be interesting to use them live I suspect, can't help thinking I'd love a set of these on my upright

    That was like stepping back to the early 80's, to me it had a Priest/Maiden B-side feel. I'm sure others will know better

    Thanks guys, I'll try these in order, battery seems pretty strong but never does any harm to try a new one, if no luck I'll try to trace the circuit from source to destination and see what I find 👍

    I think from the pull/push pot 👍

    Thanks @Acebassmusic, there was so little room for manoeuvre that I wasn't able to see whether the wired runs from neck to switch or whether there was a plug as you mentioned, no joke I could move the neck about 1cm before the wire came under tension. My gut feel is that SIMs are far to good at these things to have not engineered a cunning connector but I don't want to risk pulling or pushing too hard just yet. Can you remember what the plug looked like so I know what I'm looking for when I go back in?

    Wires between body and neck seem OK The wires to which come from the pull front PUP volume pot Was thinking perhaps there's a separate battery for the LEDs under the pickguard...... But sadly, no So still a mystery, wires seem to be OK and as far as I can tell, going to and from the correct places, but I can't get them to work? I guess the pot could be broken, there could be a break in the wire, or worse still a fault with the LEDs themselves? Thoughts welcome 👍

    And what I assume are LEDs
  9. Beedster
    Here's the cavity, most of which I assume is related to the PUPs?

    Do you have dimensions please, overall standing height, speaking length and length of body especially. Many thanks. Chris
  11. Beedster
    Hey mate, thanks for the reply, hope all's well. Well they look like LEDs and the shops did indicate LEDs also, so all the signs are there! I'll take a photo of the cavity when I get a chance although it's a pretty busy space. Re the neck, that was my neck port of call, I assume there are no physical wires joining neck to body, or anything equally easily damaged (I couldn't find the right info online although I may have been looking in the wrong places)? Chris
  12. Beedster
    Mmm, still can't get the LEDs to work so have started a separate thread here Any thoughts most welcome Chris

    Great review and a really lovely sounding bass 👍
  15. Beedster
    If only postage were an option…….. 🤔

    Hi folks, I've recently acquired an Enfield Fusion and I can't get the LEDs to work. Battery is fine (lights on the PUPs are all working well). I've tried the push/pull option on the front-PUP pot and nothing, and I can't see any switches in the cavity or on the body? Suggestions most welcome 👍
  17. Beedster
    Bump 👍
  18. Beedster
    Thanks for the info, that's one option i didn't think of! Yes, passive 👍
  19. Beedster
    Ha, yes I get you mate, as above I'm going to give it a run for it's money next weekend and see how it goes 👍
  20. Beedster
    Thanks Greg, can't disagree with any of the above mate! I'm still thinking that the versatility is perhaps going to shone more with a fretted neck, but I'm going to try it fretless at a rehearsal next week, I suspect I might come away feeling slightly more encouraged to be honest. It's often that case that playing solo doesn't allow an instrument to really show it's true potential 👍

    An odd body that I picked up on eBay a few years back for a little bit more than I'm selling it for here (I was planning a reclaimed bitsa as the time and this was perfect if a little overpriced)! Got knows what the wood is but it had a lovely feel and a very nice oil finish. I built it up into a fretless with some VERY heavy and very old brass hardware (including a brass pickguard) and it played very nicely and sustained forever. It was also heavier than my cab (it's not an especially light body, I'll weigh it once i have some batteries for my scales). Pretty much standard Fender dimensions re pocket/rout/pickguard/bridge. It's also got that slight flat-C indent at the treble side of the neck pocket that a few old basses seem to have, no idea what/why, but apart from being noticeable, it makes no different to fit/function. I'll dig out the brass hardware also, worked very nicely on this body. Not to everyone's taste for sure

    This thread is going cost me a LOT of time 👍
  23. Beedster

  24. Beedster
