Hello there. I'm trying to get my Dano baritone ready to sell. The neck pickup went unfeasibly quiet a few months ago: we've taken the switch out of the circuit and gone straight to the jack, but the neck pickup is still way quieter than the neck (like about a quarter of the volume) - a pickup it used to be pretty well balanced with. Anyone help?

maybe needs rewindig?

I second the rewinding. Check out http://www.fralinpickups.com/ if you're in the U.S. I've used them a few times and they are great.

prob a break in the winds

If you have a multimeter handy, perhaps you can give a quick measure of the individual resistance of both the neck and bridge pickups. I would tend to agree with everyone else that something has gone amiss with the winding, but this would absolutely confirm it.

be better off spending £20 on a new pickup than getting it rewound, no? or no?

Possibly. Rewinding the pickup shouldn't be very expensive though.
Looks like I can get one of these pickups for $35US plus shipping so maybe buying a new one might be a better option although rewinding it should be right around that price also.

Arr, there's a bloke (in fact, the bloke I bought the guitar from in the first place) selling pickups - think I'll just buy one from him.

If you're just going to sell it then that's probably the best course of action. Otherwise, I would heartily recommend the Bare Knuckle rewind service...

Aye, too spendy though - need to replace the pickup and flog it, more's the pity.

have you made sure nothing is grounding out in it's innards?

You mean inside the pickup itself? Otherwise - yes.

Tim,

if you were going to flog on here I'm sure people would accept it without the pick up working and want to sort it out themselves. Might be an option.

Reece has got dibs, but I'd rather sell it all up together. Plus, the neck pickup is what a baritone is all about.
