Yar....

I've got a jazz with Antiquities. The pups will not move. They are stuck against the wood of the body.
Cannot get them to move.
What do?

@kesslari Could you please move this to the setup forum?

 

[kesslari]

Moved.

Unscrew. Pull. They've got installed somehow into the bass, it means they can come out, just use more force, shatter them from side to side.

yes there were installed but some dumbass could have forced them in. They don't seem like they should be too big for the rout but who knows? It is a Japanese bass but I doubt they are a different size. IDK.
Last thing I want to do is shatter them
I think vice-grips are next in line. I've tried gripping them with my MANLY fingers and that's after tried to get them to move.

Worst case scenario…you may have to damage the covers to remove the pickups. New covers are relatively cheap.
