h2o pete Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi guys, Just got a new Hofner bass, the E string isn't making a sound, seems to be because of it touching the pickup.. I've included some pictures. Can anybody tell me how to adjust the height of the pickups and by how much? Thanks [IMG]http://s13.postimage.org/5ecphvpo7/photo_1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://s13.postimage.org/que0vtf3r/photo_2.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It looks like the adjustment is something to do with those grub screws on the surround. The only thing is I saw this pic and it doesn't look like yours... Try slackening yours off and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 IIRC the grubs hold the pickup in place, and they are also prone to breaking their thread, so be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2o pete Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Got it - just loosened the grubs up a little and then gently pushed the pickup down. Not sure why it was so high to begin with though... Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
