I have a 2006 American Standard P with the S-1 switch. I brought the bass new, but haven't used it in almost two years. I plugged it in yesterday to play and noticed I wasn't getting any sound. I pushed the S-1 switch in and only got sound from my D and G strings. I pushed the S-1 switch again and get no sound whatsoever. Advice, please.

Sounds like either the switch or the pickups have gone to heck. I would try to rewire the pot to bypass the switch to see weather it the switch or the pickup.

Same thing happened to me on my 07 P-bass with S-1. Check all the solder points on the E/A pick-up. The wire is super thin and may have come undone. Simply fix.
And the S-1 switch on a P-bass is totally useless. IMO

Thanks guys. I'm trying to avoid a costly repair. I'll look at it myself first.
