BMBR Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Got a 73 P pup which seems to be cutting out intermittently. Have taken it out of bass can't see anything as covers and bass pretty stuck together with age. Put in a temp replacement and works fine. Recommendations please for an expert to test and repair ? (assumption is I could post it during the virus lock down) Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sounds like it might be a loose connecting wire, check the solder joints from each wire to each pickup, see if anything isn't connected properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMBR Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think it could well be - but the covers, brass plate and foam is all quite welded together with age so I can't even see where all 3 wires connect. I don''t want to disturb it with my basic skills and make it worse - given the age and originality so I thought time for an expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d personally chat to Clive Brown first, he’d either do it or signpost you. Clive is a world renowned vintage head, who does simply the best restorations. guitarart@btinternet .com.
