Location: Chicago | J. Budny sent me an OP STUDIO for my 1769 AD II. The pickup is sweet, no questions. HOWEVER, the battery light stays on ALL the time and there is a pronounced hum. Guess it's time for the repair shop. Is this a problem familiar to anyone? Any idea on the cause? I notice that my booster button does not work either... |

Location: Utah | Is it in a can made for the OpPro series? OpPro, Studio, VIP, and iDea all use the same connector, but the older Op30 etc are different and not interchangeable.
Other than that it sounds like a defective preamp. Just to be sure, I'd pull the battery and let it go cold for 3 minutes, then put in a fresh battery and try it in a different guitar. If it works ok, put it in the 1769. That should isolate it to either the guitar or the preamp. |

Location: Chicago | Actually, that gives me an idea, Fly: I'll ask Jeff (NostrAdamas) to bring over his Idea pickup. When I pop it in the 1769 it will tell the whole story! |

Location: UK | Hi Dobro,
Yep, i had the exact same problem on the OP-Pro that was fitted on my UTE 12, and the battery would only last for a few days. After long negotiations with Fender here in the UK, they accepted that it was faulty and replaced it. Replacement has behaved perfectly. |
