MoonBassAlpha Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi all I can think of a number of ways to fix this, is there a standard or best way of doing it? the pickup flatwork is fibre board, but very new looking.

3below Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Dab some superglue in the hole, when set rethread with the pickup screw? If this fails, glue new fibreboard or something under the existing hole, Drill and thread new fibreboard. What are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 one option was a small ally plate under the pup with tapped holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I've used a bit of an old credit card glued beneath. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well, the credit card method seemed to work well. Thanks for the tip Geoff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well, its working fine, but one small issue, the pickup is in the middle position (Strat) and the 2 and 4 positions sound really thin, not just the usual strat quack sounds. Do you think reversing the polarity of the middle pickup would fix this? The pickup is a neck position Strat one in the middle so is not rwrp, if that makes any odds..

geoffbyrne Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 No prob - sounds like you've wired it out-of-phase - try swapping the two leads around. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 That's what I thought, reversing the polarity always seems to work for Doctor Who... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 ... and it worked a treat for me too! All done now. Thanks for the input. MBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
