stewblack Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, feeling just a little bit smug having correctly diagnosed and fixed a fault with my semi acoustic bass. Less smug about having taken the whole thing apart which I really didn't need to do. Anyway it's back in one piece with functioning pups. My question is can anything be done with the broken pup? Are they repairable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassalarky Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sometimes they can break at the eyelets where the wires connect to the coil winding which can be repaired. If there's a break or a short in the coil then they can be re-wound - remove the coil wires and wind a new coil - but there's no guarantee that it will sound the same afterwards. Someone who has the right knowledge and experience might get pretty close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the one I used actually sounds fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
