De-magnetized pickup

Re: De-magnetized pickup

have you tried connecting the green and bare wire directly to one side of the output jack and the black wire to the other side (ie direct to the lead with no controls in the circuit)? this should tell you if the pickup really works properly.
It IS possible (but v rare) to have a pickup wired incorrectly from the factory (one of my JBs is like that, the red, white, green and black wires were mixed up), so you could try the available combinations directly to the jack to eliminate all these possibilities.
Good luck

Thanks for everything guys, I'll do an update after I've cleaned everything up and soldered it back together with a good soldering iron.

HA I DIDN"T **** IT UP!!!!! It turns out that the white and black wires were reversed and I never really did anything wrong, that was a waste of two days worrying. Thanks again for all your suggestions.
