Precision Output Issue

[J. Crawford]

My Highway 1 puts out about half the volume as my MIA Precision all of the sudden. Both are passive, played through the same amp without any change in volume on the head.

I'm not an electric savvy man, so I don't know what it would be.

Dead pickup? Shady wiring? Maybe a dead wire, or a loose connection?

I may have a show Saturday, and I'd like to play it.

Thanks,
J.

Nobody?

Have you taken the pg off to compare the USA to the Hwy 1? Or looked at the Hwy 1 by itself even?

Could be a dead wire.
I had this problem with a guitar humbucker. Turned out to be a broken wire in one of the spools.

How does the volume pot feel when you turn it? Does it feel gritty, or provide excessive resistance? That's the first thing that popped into my head.

Output jack.

In a completely passive circuit, the things that would likely affect output would be bad pot, or bad pickup.

Wiring or bad jack would give you intermittent contact would shut down output altogether.

Ten bucks on the output jack.
