Bass guitar pickup not working

I have a Maton acoustic/electric bass guitar. The pickup does not now work and I can't find out the reason (even from Maton). There doesn't appear to be a battery anywhere on the cable from the pickup to the plug connection that I can see.
Can someone please offer any suggestions. Thanks

BROKE? NEED INSTANT CASH? THOUSANDS?? TRY THIS, IT REALLY WORKS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO PRINT OUT & READ, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!

How to make money quickly and easily. HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! (Download this article or print it - you won't regret it, just keep reading I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking It. over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the HONESTY and INTEGRITY of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Money can be make however, by the selling of the lists. It just takes a little time and effort to develop a database of the list and then find local mail order companies that will purchase the list from you at a much cheaper price than what they are used to paying.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write on each piece of paper your name and address, age, gender, favorite hobby and the phrase "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, other info. and a 1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) David Vorbeck Box #588 J.C. Williams Cntr. Franciscan Univ. Steubenville, OH 43952
#2) Sohel Malek 245 Thomson Ave. Teaneck, NJ 07666
#3) Natali Ferents str. V.Velukoho 40/20 292610 Sambir Ukraine ille Ont. L6H4A7 Canada
#4) Boysie Bowden 503 Steele St. High Point, NC 27262-4009
#5) RP SLAY 1191 MONKEY MIZELL RD LUCEDALE MS, 39452
#6) Big Daddy 14144 S. Cicero Crestwood IL 60445

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title! Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are HONEST, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!!

What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) you do not need to re-type this entire to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) save your new notepad file as a .txt file If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting posting from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. ** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will ! make an additional 626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just me 3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all this message 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

: TY,

Hi! I acually have a PS-4. You can ofcourse play allmost anything with it. Because of the two humbuckers, humbuckers allways sounds great. I´ve played everything from rock to soul, blues and even jazz on mine.

I'ts a good sounding guitar but, I can only rekomend buying a Jacksson if your ambission is to play metal or rock. It feels pretty silly playing a Jazz-standard with a guitar looking like that.
Bye!

a good overdrive pedal

i have a tech 21 trademark 60 amp and it has great overdrive, but i also want a good overdrive pedal to give it more versatility. any help much appreciated

Re: a good overdrive pedal

Hmm.I personaly like the Ibanez TS-10 for raunchy overdrive.But I always use my OD-3(Boss)!It's got a big,warm,classic sounding overdrive.As a booster,it's very transparent...more so than the TS-10.
However,the best overdrive stomper I've heard is the BACKSTONE.FUGEDDABOUDIT!! It's $225.00,but worth every penny!I love mine.
Some of my choices

Re: a good overdrive pedal

thanks man, i did buy a boss sd1 (japanese) off a friend, and i think it fits the bill, nice and warm. cheers. tom

Re: a good overdrive pedal

Mesa's V-Twin pedal is KILLER! It is expensive, but try it out and you will see why.

Older Acoustic BC Rich

Have an older(roughly 25 yrs) model B-28, serial #507389,looking for information on history and approximate value

Re: Older Acoustic BC Rich

: Have an older(roughly 25 yrs) model B-28, serial #507389,looking for information on history and approximate value
Serial # makes it a 1975, Made between 1967 - 1982
in california at Bernie Chavez rico's Dad's shop Bernie not his dad. nice quality. Many have neck joint problems and poor action. $200 - 1000 depending on wood and condition. Selling drop me a line!

Re: Older Acoustic BC Rich

Since receiving this much appreciated response to my questions regarding the dating and approximate value of my guitar, I have been reading up on the history of BC Rich acoustics, and the serial numbering formats they used to indicate the years in which they were made and the specific number of the total produced in that model of that year. Based on what I have read, however, I don't understand how mine was determined to have been built in 1975. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Older Acoustic BC Rich

Well the normal pre 76' serial # scheme is ymm xxx
Y=year 2 through 5 1972-1975 mm= month the month can be 1 or 2 digits and sept can be 09 or 9 (don't ask me why but they did'nt stick to either way) the xxx = production #'s but it by group. they tended to group b-28,B-30,B-38 together. the B-45's were seperate. the b-20'S were seperate. the electrics were seperated by model the total was up to that point not by year. The pre 72 system was Bernie Sr's Dad's. and it normally was 1101-1 with the year accross from it on the label.
the 76 and above started with a yy = year (76) there were some 75's with that format also. All and all it is a confusing hap hazard system that requires a bit of conjecture. Hope that helps.

New to electrics

Hi, I have been playing acoustic for 1/2 year, and tried an electric guitar today for an hour. I was wondering, what exactly is "hammering, pull up, palm, slide, etc."??? Could someone explain this, or please provide a link? Thank you,

Re: New to electrics

ok this is how i understand it (and play)...
Hammering is where you pick one note and then, without piking a second time, "hammer" on another note with your left hand, so you play two notes but only pick the first. Its a pretty basic thing but youve gotta have strong fingers!
i dont know about "pull ons" but pull offs are the opposite of hammering; pick a note, and then release the finger that is holding the note (left hand) and allow a note below the first to sound. but don't pick the second. is very useful for fast solos etc.
Palming is where you play a chord/ note etc and then "damp" the string (s) with your right hand palm/
side of hand, so you cut the sound short.
Sliding is where you play a note/ bar chord / chord etc and, keeping your left hand in the same position, slide it up/down the fretboard, play a second note/chord. pick/strum both positions.
gotta go now more later! G

Re: New to electrics

Thanks Georgi. I have just one more question. What is distortion? And how do you do it?

Re: New to electrics

ok i dont know much about distortion... being a college student, i dont have the latest amp outfit for my electric guitar etc but i can tell roughly...
its when you change the sound, using an amplifier with the "distortion switch"... it sounds kinda strong and is often used in metal, etc... id have to ask someone else on this board, for more info.
