Aria Sinsonido preamp repair

[Folderol]

Hi Matthovani_music,

This is a ridiculously late reply to your post, but there's an off-chance you may read it and it may help.

Try the forums at Basschat.co.uk. There is a huge amount of tech knowledge there, and while I doubt many have seen a Sinsonido (other than a few who have played mine at a meet-up), there will be lots of knowledge on piezo pickups. I am more active there than here in the last couple of years, so if you do wander over I'll say hello.

Rich.

How are you getting on with that these days?
Getting enough practice to improve?

A quick unrelated question. Seeing that the battery life of this pre amp is very short, what is the best way of conserving battery life? Disattach battery everytime after use? Or simply take away the ear plug jack after every use? Thanks

Plugging in a headphone jack or output jack into the socket should switch the power, so removing the headphone jack plug should switch the power off.

Er, hello again! Yes it has been a very, very, very, long time since I was active on SOS.

The reason for posting is that this thread popped up as a reference on BassChat (where I do hang out a bit more).
https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/475832 ... 1519_menu . Good to see the SOS forums are still a go-to resource for things.

I stood back from FOH and recording, which is why I’m not here often. I do read the magazine occasionally though (proper print version if Smith's has it).
In answer to Folderol's question from a year ago, I practiced a lot and now play competently in church, pretty much exclusively on 5 string. I don't practice as much as I need to though, so I'm not where I want to be.

The Aria still gets played by my friend, though not often these days as he bought a lovely Ibanez.

Hope everyone here is keeping well.

Rich
