... that i bought used.
Most of the time there is no output, but when it is the case, if i touch the pole pieces with a screwdriver there is a pop sound.
I searched for similar cases, where the ground and hot are inverted but this is probably not my case.
Why? Because if i fiddle with a pole piece, lowering and raising it with a screwdriver, the pickup ends up, after a few attempts, outputing normally,
which confirms me that there is apparently no problem with the switch, pots, etc..
Then, i can play for a long time, not touching the pole pieces or anything anymore, but the day after, most of the times, no sound, again.
Any ideas of what this could be ? Some short inside the pickup ? The pickup is just dying ?
Thanks for your time and knowledge !
