SuperSeagull Posted Tuesday at 11:55 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:55 The bridge pickup on my Flea Jazz has gone, first time 47 years of playing I've had a pickup fail. Ideally I'd replace with another American Vintage 64 but they don't seem to be available now so plan on getting it rewound. Other than Kent Armstrong, any recommendations as to who to speak to?

PaulThePlug Posted Tuesday at 11:59 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:59 (edited) Maida Vale pickups via Faceache... Check for a broken wire... do you get any Ohmage reading or is it OC? Edited Tuesday at 12:04 by PaulThePlug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted Tuesday at 12:40 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:40 I agree with @PaulThePlug The usual place for coil to go open circuit is on one of the leadout wires to the bobbin. If the wire is broken on one of the windings on the outside of the coil or, more commonly, on the leadout of the outside wire to the bobbin, it's fixable. So, it's worth checking where the break is. It will need a rewind, however, if the break is on the leadout wire from the inside of the coil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exchanged some emails with Aaron Armstrong and I think I'll be sending it off to him later today. Thanks for the other suggestions and input - always appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
