Pilot puled off ebay yet again!
Yeah, I pulled it again! :evil:
Last night while playing my Spector I noticed the J pickup was not putting anything out. I have had the spector a couple of months and only changed the battery once or twice (that should have tipped me off) and have no knowledge of Aguilar preamps which it has a OBP-1, anyway In looking for a solution for the dead J I noticed on the Aguilar site that it is supposed to be 18 Volts not 9 (like it was wired). After a 4 hour re-wire job (nearly everything wired wrong) the J pick up still doesn't put anything out unless you crank the amp up to 11 then you might hear a little. So this morning before my gig at church I checked the auction and the bass still wasn't moving up very well, that, with the dead pu in the spector, I though I'd better pull it in case I might need to rob a part out of the Pilot just until I get one ordered for the spector. So there really isn't anything wrong with the Pilot, it's the Spector that is broken. I could have used one out of the Bon Jovi Pilot but the Vol pots in it are of a different value than stock, plus I wouldn't want to mess with it not knowing how much it's worth and all.
In short, I pulled it, don't know if I'll need it yet, will know more after this week when I get time to work on the Spector again. I don't need 3 basses anymore, but I also have been toying with selling the Bon Jovi Pilot too. Meanwhile I thought I'd try selling the FullPickguard red Pilot offline, and not ebay.
Thanks and sorry if I made anyone mad by pulling it.
