    What does it weigh please and where are you located?
  2. ikay
    Measurements from the 12th fret on my SR5: 332mm from nut to centreline of neck coil 344mm from nut to centreline of pickup (between coils) 356mm from nut to centreline of bridge coil

    These measurements put the pickup very close to the bridge and are quite a long way off ...

    Crikey, well done!

    Yes realise that, I wondered if it was just a loose connecting wire or a broken winding in the pickup itself. I guess it was a connecting wire but hats off to you if you managed to find and fix a broken winding!

    Good to hear it's now sorted. Out of interest, what was the fault with the pickup?

    I've got an American Deluxe bridge and have just tried a saddle screw which I know to be 6-32 UNC on it and it's a perfect fit. As long as they're a 6-32 thread the ones from R&D should be good.

    US saddle screws are typically 6-32 UNC thread and 7/16" or 1/2" long (like these from Allparts) https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/bridge-saddle-height-screws-for-bass-hex-head-us-1-2-inch

    That's an unusual one. I've often mused over building a 3 J pickup bass, be interesting to hear a demo of the 5 pickup positions if you ever get round to it.

    Measurements for my SR5 are as follows: 764mm from nut to centreline of neck coil 776mm from nut to centreline of pickup (between coils) 788mm from nut to centreline of bridge coil

    Just had a listen and I make it out to be this (see pic)

    I'm with Bolo ... 1. Cort (pickup sounds closer to bridge) 2. Stingray I don't often come out on the winning side but one day my ship will come in

    Thanks, that's fairly chunky so probably zinc or brass I guess

    These seem to come with a variety of baseplate materials, what is the weight please?
  16. ikay
    Ugh, are the Sire pickup sizes non-standard in some way? May be worth emailing Sire customer service about a replacement - [email protected]. They promise to reply within one working day! At least then it would be a matched set.
  17. ikay
    Agree it seems unlikely the pickup has packed in but it does happen. Are you getting any output from the front pickup when the blend is in the centre position (just tap the pole pieces)?
  18. ikay
    Have you looked at the wiring on the blend pot to see if anything has come adrift? Might be a bad solder joint that has just come away which is an easy fix. If the wiring looks good then the next thing to check is the front pickup to make sure it's working.

    Thanks for info. I've looked on youtube and all I've found so far is one vid of the older style Electro with the mag pickup much closer to the bridge. I'll have another rummage around. Ah the little Mouse, that is something rather special, I have one too!
  20. ikay
    Not often you see one of these! Can you provide some audio clips to give an idea of the mag/piezo range of tones? Are the controls Vol, Mag/Piezo blend, Bass, Treble? Thanks
  21. ikay
    Thanks, have now found a bit more info, from back in the 90s apparently but now discontinued.
  22. ikay
    I've not seen pickups with dip switches before, are they specially designed Tyler pups or some other make?
  23. ikay
    Any of these work? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acrylic-Plastic-Round-Dot-Neck-Inlays-6mm-3mm-2mm-FB11-FB12-FB13/130954710274
