Protium Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Use the 20k option on your meter edit: On the ohm setting Edited July 15, 2012 by Protium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) That's too low to measure a pickup Connect the pickup straight across the output socket and play through an amp (start the amp at zero volume just in case it's loud) Edited July 15, 2012 by Protium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Gutted. Can you see the point where the wires join the pickup and if there's any damage there? Hope you can exchange for another one mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbass Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I bought a brand new one from a well known seller and had the same problem, totally dead. I sent it back with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Places can repair pickups, think that is a quite fancy pickup that would be worth it over binning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
