Does any one know how to check the electronics in Fishman Sonitone ?

Always start with the simple substitution method when troubleshooting. Change out parts of the system, one at a time. First change the battery if there is one. Try a different cord. Then try a different amp. Try plugging a different guitar into your amp. If the results point to your pickup, carefully check all the wiring connections, especially at the jack. That's where the majority of problems I've seen are. The pickup element itself rarely fails unless there is something driving it - like replacing the saddle when you have an UST.

So my next step after I double check battery
And chord. (Believe it or not I've put dead
Batteries into equipment before.. ha.)
I would check the end pin jack. Do you have
A meter?

I had a preamp thing in a box,had not been installed. A Fishman Ellipse Blend. It will fit right in. The other one will be gone.
