Precision pickup issue

Recommended Posts

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]I've noticed an issue with my P pass pickup. If I touch the E string on the lowest pole of the pickup (happens quite a lot) the bottom part (E and A) of the pickup dies. top is fine. What is likely to cause this. Is the pickup on its way out and new one needed. I've had the bass new since 2001.

Any suggestions welcome.[/size][/font][/color]

Have you tried using a multi-meter to check for electrical connection from the windings to the magnets?

My guess is that the insulation on the windings has broken down and the magnets are connected to the coils.

I don't have any such equipment to test for those sort of things. From your description, that sounds like I'm best to replace the pickup.
