I have an OLP Traben tb4 and my neck pickup is easily pushed in and sticks there. When I'm playing I'm often finding I accidentally knock it and it gets pushed in and then the bottom end is losing power because of it. I have to keep unsticking it and raising it again... will post pics of what I mean..
How can I stop it happening?

normal


vs stuck in..

Cut a mouse pad and put it under the pickup.

The right thickness of "sticky backed" foam insulation like they use around doors and windows works well to keep upward pressure on the PUP. Any hardware store has it, and its cheap. You wont use much, but you may end up using the rest of it around your place to save energy too.
