Help with Cutless thin harsh sound suddenly

[Boger514]

Help, suddenly I have a very thin sounding noise coming out of my pickups. So if I back off the treble 50% it sort of darkens the tone Changed battery of course..can the silent circuit board go bad? I checked all wiring nothing loose I could find. I have had the guitar for 7 months this noise is new. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Jeff

Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum!

There is no reason why the circuit board should "go bad" and I've not known it to spontaneously happen but this does sound like it. First contact the dealer you bought it from. Also feel free to contact Music Man customer service (see links in my signature below) and you can of course pick up the phone and call Monday to Thursday.

Come back to me here if you have problems getting a response.

thanks! I think i figured out and its not Ernie Ball! Its a setting in Factual Audio called Bright Switch and Bright Cap, Those can never be on with the Cutless! I am new to Fractual and to EBMM Cutless, lesson learned,

Try using different cables and straight into the amp.

Do you use your fingers when you play? Sometimes, even if you have always used your fingernails to play, they are not in the best shape, and the sound may not be as good as it used to be. At least that's what I've noticed and started using these guitar picks custom. Many people say that they don't feel the music as well as they do when playing with their fingers. But, trust me, if you choose the right model and shape for the style of music you play, you won't regret it one bit. You'll have to adjust for a few days, but it's not impossible.
