Post by: johnrevod on January 02, 2007, 04:29:09 AM
I have purchased the above epic 6 with modified electronics. The original electronics were included in the deal. Can you tell me which circuit board does what, and can you supply me with the 2/3 pin connecting cables/plugs?.
The details are as followes:-Board 1: 170-041 with double pot and no centre detent.Board 2:170-056 rev1 with single pot and lastly Board 3: 170-057 rev1 also with single pot already wired to Board 2.I do hope you can help as I would like to restore the bass to original condition.Thanks.JD

Here's the electronics from a current Epic, the only difference is the output jack and the battery connector:

Can you post a picture of the current condition of the electronics you have? Then I can make sure you'll get all the proper spare parts.

top: Vermilion
accent: Maple pinstripe
body: Mahogany
neck: 5-piece Maple
fingerboard: Ebony
originally made for: Guitar Center, Chicago, IL
birthday: February 21, 1996
 
There are no previously registered owners.

Hi Mica, Thanks for reply with photo. I attach a photo of my existing electronics as requested, seems I may be a board short? Anyway can you let me know if you can supply me with the missing interconnects etc.
 
Thanks again
 
JD.

You've got 2 preamps. The one on the left is a fitler with Q switch. One the right is a bass and treble module.  
 
If you've got 2 pickups, you'll need 2 boards: the pan and the volume. The 1-volume harness includes the output jack too. You'll only be able to use the filter or the bass/treble without some rewiring.  
 
You can order any of these parts from us by phone at (707) 523-2611.

Hi,
Thanks again for the info. Could you let me know the price of these 2 boards (Pan & Vol) before I place an order.
Cheers JD.
