Anybody know where I can find a schematic for an Ibanez Musician bass with active electronics? I don't know the model number - it is not on the bass anywhere. Just a Serial number.
Thanks!
Schematic for Ibanez Active Bass?

Re: Schematic for Ibanez Active Bass?
I was able to get the bass "working" again, but it would be nice to have the schematic to know how to fix it right.
Apparently a "tech" in a music store disabled the switching at the input jack so that the 9V battery was permanently hard wired ON, thus draining the battery quickly. It looks like they bypassed the little diodes, one of which seemed to be shorted.
I wasn't sure how it was originally wired - they may have changed the diodes around before giving up and hard wiring the battery.
Can anybody give me some insight to what the two diodes are for, and how they should be wired? I assume they are some kind of reverse polarity protection, or "pop" reduction when plugging the bass into a live amp.
