PUPS won't stay in raised position

[mward69]

I have a Marcus Miller jazz bass, I lowered the pups because they were "clacking" on the pups pretty bad.
I decided to raise them and play less heavy, and to have a place to sit my thumb. Well now they won't stay up. Did I compress the spring under there or what??

Pictures would help us help you better.

I've got the MM myself and I've never had this problem, though mine doesn't have the stock screws or pups anymore.

Cut up a mouse pad, into squares that will fit under the pickup. Voila.

or a sponge, but out really big pieces cause sponge gets compresed really easy

Go with the mouse pad material.

Or a couple of packing peanuts under each one.

I'll try that route....I plan on changing them soon, but for now it's driving me nuts....I need a thumb rest
