77 jazz no bridge pup output


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,
I am starting to frustrate over this bloomin' old girl. She plays like butter, but i cannot get the bridge pup to output!! I had the pup rewired by wizard, so it should be good to go (ace chaps for the record!)
If i solo just the bridge it just buzzes, until i open it right up, and then it goes dead. i've looked at the wiring, which is a bit of a butcher job, but cannot see anything wrong.
Any ideas or anyone know a decent tech in leeds? :)

Here is a picture of the harness.

I'd hazard a guess that the bridge pup pot has had it. With a bit of bare wire try shorting the centre pin of it to each of the outer pins in turn and see if you get a signal.

If the pot has gone, do you know what type i should replace it with?[/quote]

It's usually a 250KΩ Log pot.
The dead pot will have a value stamped on it somewhere.
