Hi Brendan You're right - sorry !! English is not my native language & i was paying so much attention to describing the issue properly, i simply forgot !! When i bought it, it was advertised as a Status S1 Classic Deluxe, googling this didn't exactly bring up tons of results ( nor the Hyperactive pickup denomination for that matter.. ) but there's a small rectangular sticker w/ what i assume is it's serial number : CE 06012712 Is there somewhere i can determine it's year/model with this ? Here are some pics, preamp board included : https://www.flickr.com/photos/1370682.../lightbox/ - just click the arrow to see the others please as there's a few photos... First i thought about the attenuator pot thing, since i'm familiar w/ Spector TonePump preamps also carrying them but as far as i could tell, that's not the case... Everything else has been thoroughly checked levels wise !! Thank you Nuno
