Afternoon,
It seems that companies are pinching pennies. I received my BB-600B today. When I opened the case there was nothing as far as instructions on how to hook up the outputs or how the piezo works. It's sad that you have to go to your site to find this information. Still, you have only a diagram that cannot be downloaded. Sorry, but to me that's just plain lazy. Other companies such as Gibson, Epiphone, etc provide a brochure or at least a well documented diagram that can be downloaded. In the future consider providing something in the case.
Regards,
Andrew Williams
HI Andrew, Thanks for posting your feedback here. I understand your frustration and I'm sorry that you were not provided with instructions. Thank you for pointing this out so we can consider a better solution in the future. Should you need any assistance in the meantime please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com
Hello,
Just wondering if you someone can explain the 'active EQ' for the passive humbuckers in the guitar and if the battery is needed?
Hi Alexander, Thanks for pointing this out. There is in fact no active eq, that is a typo. The active portion of this guitar is for the Piezo output. It does in fact use a 9V battery and there is some active circuitry for the volume control (it would be considered an "active volume control"). We will update the site. Thanks again for bringing up this issue.
Greetings,
The majority of breaking Benjamin songs are played with Drop A# tuning, yet this signature guitar comes in B to B tuning. So to play Breaking Benjamin songs you would have to actually tune up 5 out of the 6 strings by one half step to achieve Drop A# tuning. (A# F A# D# G C) up from B E A D F# B. Only the 6th string would be tuned down one half step but all other strings would have to be raised one half step. My question - can this guitar handle that extra tension out of the box or would I have to make a bunch of adjustments (truss rod, etc.) to achieve Drop A# tuning without damaging the guitar or the stock .13 strings? Or is the guitar good to go without any adjustments to achieve Drop A# tuning?
Hi Jeff, Yes this guitar can handle this tuning, however the guitar will need to have the truss rod and bridge adjusted for intonation. It would probably be a good idea to put a slightly lighter string gauge on the guitar for this tuning (maybe a 12 gauge or 11 gauge set), but it certainly will work with the stock strings if wanted.
What string gauge does this guitar cone with?
Hi Trevor, This model comes with D'Addario XL158 (.013/.017/.026/.036/.046/.062), and is tuned in a Baritone tuning (B-E-A-D-F#-B).
So if I wanted to swap these pickups for fishman fluence moderns with two push pulls, what kind of work am I looking at doing?
Hi Jordan. Basically you will need to replace the pots for the electric pickups and you may need to adjust the preamp buffer on the piezo to match the output between piezo and electric pickups, however, since each has a discreet output this may not be necessary. This all is not too difficult, but we recommend taking your guitar to an experienced guitar tech or repair person who can do this for you.
