steve-soar Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Get a soldering iron and resolder all the connections that look iffy, if that doesn't work, set fire to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Check the wires soldered to the pots and jack socket. Carefully check the wires from the pickups, what pickups do you have? If one of the copper windings has broken then its a bit more tricky. It may be something really simple like a wire come off the jack socket. Do you have a soldering iron? If you're not confident with this stuff then you have to take it to a shop for a proper repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgrsr400 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Try connecting with another lead to eliminate that as the cause - connections inside the jack can fail also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey! Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 take it to a gig and if it cuts out again just throw it. It's guaranteed to start working again just before it hits the floor. especially if you're loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Tub Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I had the exact same problem a few months back. Tracked it down to the little clip-on connector for the battery. Turned out one of the terminals on the connector had become loose. I removed the battery, and [i]very gently[/i], tightened the terminal with a small pair of pliers. Pop the battery back in, problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
