I broke my Blues Saraceno

[Fr@mus]

I almost crying, so sad. Sorry my english, but I will try to explain

Yesterday this HB dropped from my hand and hit the floor.
Then I noticed that one of the sides, where the screw goes, was bend: no more "L" shape, was "V" shape instead.
So I tried to return this side to their "L" original position.

A second later I had the HB in one hand and the "L" side in the other hand :banghead:

What can I do? May I solder this side of the PU?:help:

Yes, you can solder it back on and it will be fine. I actually modified a set of DiMarzio pickups in exactly that way so that they would fit a set of Carvin pickup rings properly.

I snapped the "L" shaped tabs off of a Carvin pickup and soldered them to the base plate of the DiMarzio pickups. Worked great, no probems.

Or get a new baseplate.

I will try to solder first, but just in case, where can I get a baseplate?. Thanks

I think Stew Mac sells them. Contact Seymour Duncan's Customer Service. They might be able to help you with that too.

Same happened to one of my Customs. I contacted Maricella Juarez with Email. I got 2 baseplates (one flatfooted and one deep) within 2 weeks for free to Germany. Great service!!
