yes, i suppose we can rule that out, but that does still leave a lot of combinations

My second O2 is not working though, and I'm not sure where to go for help.
Have you checked the regulator with a DMM to see if it's still working? These chips can take quite a bit of heat. I once removed a much smaller and more delicate usb controller chip that I thought was fried with lots of flux and a small kitchen blow torch. Turns out when I tested it, it was still working even after all that abuse.
Negative regulator? Wasn't an ST Micro part by chance was it? Have had problems with their negative regulators in the past. Use National/Fairchild/ON Semi instead.
How exactly would I check that with a DMM?

What do you mean by "bass control" exactly? I suppose it is entirely possible that your unmodded O2 is broken, especially with its propensity to fry regulators.
