arabassist Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey, My squier jazz has duncan designed puppies, and on the mettallic bit (sorry i dunno the name, the polepiece?) for the G string seems to be scratched. is this a problem? Sometimes when i play violently i rest my thumb too much on the E or A string and i end up thumping the pickup and making awful sounds like goats having orgasm - could this cause any damage?

DanOwens Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey Ahmed, Glad you're enjoying the bass. A scratch on the polepiece (the exposed metal bit on the pickup) won't effect the sound. The 'orgasming goat' sound is the string making contact with the polepiece. To avoid this, practise playing softer or lower the pickup so its out of range of the string. I'm sure others will pitch in, but everything sounds normal to me! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
