Bankai Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hello. A few times over the past month I've picked up my guitar (Shine Extreme Series WEB845) in the morning to have a play and the sound has come out really distorted. I just put the guitar down and come back to it in a hour and it's usually fine. As such I assumed the problem had something to do with the cold night beforehand. Anyway I just had the same problem yet it is not going away and it's been around for a lot longer than normal. I'm not sure what the problem is, I think it might be something to do with the pickups. Any ideas? Am I looking at replacing something? To help you here is a recording I just made (Home recording studios are great!). This was made using a DI straight from the bass.

Hamster Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Possibly just needs a battery change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to replace the pickups I presume any jazz-style 5-string ones would be suitable? Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankai Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Still not working Looks like I might have to repair. I'm not sure what it is though that'll need replacing. Should I buy pickups or would that be a bit presumptuious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Could be a duff solder joint somewhere along the line, they can cause weirdness like distortion, phantom rustling noises & intermittent cutting out. Give 'em the once over, all the joints should be smooth & quite shiny - if there's one that looks dull or even slightly crystalline that may be the culprit.
