Problem with Piezo

[easelkillya]

OK, I was just playing around with my Bongo, when I noticed my Piezo wasn't working properly. When I turn the Piezo all the way up, the G string is significantly quieter than the other strings. Is it the Piezo that's on the fritz, or can this problem easily be solved by something as simple as replacing the batteries? If it is the Piezo, will most Ernie Ball dealers be able to repair it easily? Thanks!

I think, big word there, think, im not 100% sure, but i think its just a simple matter of adjusting the piezo output. each string has its own control for its volume, which is located under a rectangular control plate on the underside of the body. im pretty sure all you would have to do is open the cavity and turn the knob that is for the g string up until it is equal to the others. or if its as loud as it will go turn the others down so they are all eqaul in volume. now i dont own a bongo, or any piezo equipped instument, but i saw the control diagram for it on the eb website and it seemed pretty self explanitory. im pretty sure im right, might want to get jack or a mod in here to confirm me thoughts. hope this helps ya out.

skabassist is wise beyond his years..Take the small piezo cover off, and make sure all the small blue knobs are turned clockwise, and maxed out....If there still is a prob, call me 1 866 823-2255 ext237

There are 6 little knobs in there. What does what? Does the one on the end not turn all the way? It's only going about 90%. Other than that, they are turned all the way up, and the problem still persists. Any other comments? If not, I'll give Jon a call on Monday... thought I'd like to fix it before then!

My advice.....turn down the master (level control) a tad and adjust each string for equal output. Then wind up the master.

Easy hey....
