Dang. My NR neck pickup got very quiet at a gig. Just got around to looking at it. I’m guessing that little wire should be attached inside the pickup.
I have Lollars in my Reverse, but I didn’t feel a need to do that replacement on the NR, until now. Maybe just the neck pickup.
Anyway, we made a Korean BBQ dinner, so that made up for this little sadness.

Yes Mr. Gator. That appears to be a very nice Epi Classix Pro.

Hey think I need to try that! I tend to drop mine unless they are small ones! I use them in the punk band I’m in. We play fast and my dexterity is off at times, they get wet if it’s really hot out!I do use a pick when the song calls for it. Maybe I can get by with a warning and probation..
Picks are easy to find on stage. The two guitar players each have a whole string of them on their mike stands.
I just mosey on over and snag one while I'm pretending to say Hi
FWIW I would take that pickup apart and try to resolder the wire, you have nothing to lose at this point.
Stock animal. I have to say that I really like these pickups a lot, they've certainly worked very well in my VP!
Looks like a Classic Pro. There is one in Ohio on marketplace that is selling for $400 with the case in great condition that’s just a bit too far for me to make an impulse purchase on!!!These are sweet basses!
Drat. But good call. The BaCH will very likely be getting a chrome Lollar Bridge pickup.
At $400 with a case, you may want to reconsider. That is a great price.
It got to 106 or so a while ago in Seattle. None of us could handle it. Very few houses have A/C up here.
Wow. Good excuse to stay in the basement all day. We topped out at 111. Didn’t make it to the anticipated 112. I don’t feel cheated in the least.
Given a choice, I would want a first generation AMX with a small block and a four speed. I don't remember the size of an AMC small block, but my brother had one. It scared the crap out of him, but I sure enjoyed it. It was a rocket, and unlike a whole lot of pony cars, it really handled well straight from the factory. His was oxidized red with black stripes, as I recall. The seats had springs poking out, which wasn't great, but when you are a kid, you don't notice so much. It's bizarre to think that it was only about 12 to 15 years old when he had it. My Camaro was about 12 years old when I got it. A 15 year old car isn't generally as ratted out as either of those cars were back then.
My dad had an orange Fiat Spyder. That was a fun car to drive when I was 16 or 17 and my TR-2 didn't run (which was pretty common). When I bought the Camaro, the idea was that it would be a larger, more reliable, more practical (yeah, right) version of a classic roadster like a Fiat or Triumph.
