P Bass Pickups

Hi Guys,

I have a nice Jap Fender P Bass to repair/clean/set up for a friend. He suggests that the pickups might not be working right. Apart from the obvious (playing it) is there a test that I can do to see if they are OK. Resistance? Anything would help as I don't want to replace them if it's just a height/set up issue.

There's a sort of fault-finding guide here that might be of some use. It's for guitars, but the principle is the same.

Err.. yes.

I took them off, undid all the wiring as it ddn't look right compared to a diagram I got from the Fender forum site (I think)... anyway, I redid it the way on that diagram. Put it all back together for a test and the pickups work fine, vol & tone work fine, jack works fine... I can't really see what the problem was unless it was an issue of the wiring not being correct.
