BassApprentice Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Afternoon all I've had this Tanglewood Bassmaster Funk for a few years now and finally got round to sorting out the difference in volume from the pickups, or so I thought. The neck pickup is roughly 0.4cm from the strings the bridge was ~0.6cm. Started to loosen the screws in the pickups expecting them to gently rise up as usual, nothing. After taking the screws out there was no springs and both pickups seem very much stuck in place. Any ideas how to remove these without damaging them? Thanks!

Andyjr1515 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If the pickups have the normal high-density foam under them, two things can happen: - the foam can lose its spring - the foam can stick a bit to the bottom of the chamber or pickup or sometimes the chamber is a touch tight Either way, take all the screws out, then rock the cover back and forwards or side to side. Then do the same while trying to lift. It should gradually ease free. I've also used the windscreen sucker off my old sat nav holder in the past... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
