Broken Bass.
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:24 pm
My housemate is trying to fix up his old p-bass for recording. Silly bugger has pulled the wire of the p-bass pickup at the pickup end by accident. As far as we can see there are two contacts on the pickup (it's the one closest to the pots and jack, the bottom one). We've got a new wire (the other broke off somehow.. don't ask I don't know either) and re-soldered it to the the contact on the pickup where we believe the last one went, but theres bugger all coming out.
Whats wrong guys? I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of is that the pickup wire that we are using now is slightly different. It's the grade that you use pot to pot, not the shielded type like the old one. I can't imagine that would be it though.
To ref, the wire is the on labeled "black" in this photo.
