Muppet Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 So I've got this 72 Precision. It's sounding really thin, like there's no bass at all, especially compared to my other precisions. I'm assuming it's a pickup issue? Tapping all the pole pieces with a screwdriver when it's plugged in gives a tinny sound form both halves of the split coil. I started off by thinking one half of the pickup had given up but I wouldn't get any sound would I? Is this a pickup or wiring issue? Wiring looks fine and in good nick. thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Sounds like a loose wire/connection somewhere. Check every solder joint. When you tap the poles with a screwdriver on your other basses, do they sound 'tinny' also? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Reverse polarity on one of the split coil by simply inverting the two wires. It sounds like they are out of phase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
