Re: My fav. pickup died this morning..

what are you looking for? I don't have anything thats trem spaced right now.....
 
Re: My fav. pickup died this morning..

I don't know what happened to it to be honest, I plugged in today and poof nothing...so I checked everthing out. all the joints were good, so I pulled it and put it on the multimeter and nothing...I'm so dissapointed, it's like that pickup was made for that guitar..I'll probably end up paying to have MJ rewind it or at least send it in and see what's wrong with it.

May not need rewound. Have you tried another pup in the guitar? Tried another guitar in the amp? Sorry for the obvious questions but it seems highly unlikely that non-moving parts would fail.
 
Re: My fav. pickup died this morning..

yeah mang, I went through the whole troubleshooting. I took the JB out of the Baretta, dropped in a ToneZone, tried the JB in my strat, still nothing....Different Amps, same thing...

Back in '81, the used Westbury deluxe I was buying had a dead rhythm pup. It worked the day before when I tried the guitar. So the manager of GC told one of employees to get another Dimarzio pup from the counter. They sent the guitar out to be worked on and I picked it up a few days later. There was no charge for the pup or the repair. The guys at GC were pretty cool back then!

do you know how to take a continuity test with a multi meter?
what you want to do is find out if it may just be one wire in the lead?
A pup ususally will not just die

:smack:
it may be repairable without sending it to duncan
