My dog ate my pickup!

[simon1964]

I've had an EMG LJ Jazz pickup sitting around waiting to be fitted to my Precision. I discovered on Saturday that my 1 year old whippet, Alfie, had attacked the box and chewed through half of the wires (although thankfully not the pickup itself). Having calmed down, I emailed EMG UK, explaining my dilema, and have just had this fantastic reply from their MD:

[i]Re Dog food

We have that cable available in chicken
rabbit or beef flavours.....[/i]

Woof Woof.

Perhaps Alfie wasn`t feeling to well and looked at it as a pick-me-up

Great reply though

We now have a dog after many years of cats and I've noticed one big difference - cats inspect anything very carefully before they eat it, whereas dogs eat first, wonder what it was later.

[Mr Fudge]

it should comeout the other end?

[Lorne]

Don't tell me where you put the battery

[Golchen]

Did it taste good? Has Alfie given you any feedback? If so get him to stand away from your amp.


Will he be giving the postman a soundbyte in the mornings now?


Does he have a newfound desire for Flea's playing?

No feedback, but he does sometimes have a strange hum

Why, has he no nose?

I think he smells well but receives so much praise and treats he'll never be properly grounded.

my uncle (simon1964's brother) once said that alfie should be called algie, because hes pointless, annoying and needs removing.

[Bay Splayer]

has he been relaxing since it happened.......











or has he become much more [b]ACTIVE[/b]

He's definitely the passive model - as you can see from this pic. And after chewing the pickup, he's lucky I didn't have him defretted......
