Piezo pickup repair

[JPJ]

Does anyone know of someone who repairs Piezo double bass pickups? My Underwood has developed a fault in the wiring on the bass side element just where the cable enters the piezo element and it causes the pickup to cut out completely so I’m sure it’s some kind of short.

Photo?  If the wires came loose or there's a fault in the cabling, I can solder it back together for you.  But the piezo itself is glued between metal plates with rubbery gunk.  If the fault is deep inside the gunk it will probably be destroyed by any attempt to get at the fault. 

 

I have an old shadow piezo ( Underwood but cheaper) that died, I just cut off the dead side and used it on one side of the bridge, it sounded ok.  I've upgraded to a realist one since though.
