weepaul Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi, Got a Esh 5 string various, and while I'm still getting to grips with it, one setting has a really low out put on the B string(may be the piezo setting). Any ideas ? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Is the pickup angled wrong? os the string old and dead? piezo lead fallen off the saddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Sounds like a dodgy piezo element on the B. I'd contact Esh for a replacement http://esh-bass.com/contact/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 There should be trimpots per piezo saddle in the electronics cavity. If the piezo's are still good, it might be the volume setting. The piezo setting is the one with the rotary switch turned towards the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepaul Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks everyone. Lefty, you were right matey, for some reason someone cranked the trim pot on the B down to near enough nothing. Just in case, in the cavity each string has its own volume pot for the piezo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Glad that it's sorted! My Esh Stinger I took some tweaking too when I got it - the setting with piezo and magnetics combined had too much piezo to my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
