Maybe you can borrow Tuckle from Rondo Music? (No association, just enjoy the Tuckle comments.)
That's for southern mojo. Doesn't work north of the M/D line.
Up north mojo requires a Volvo, the appropriate Thule rack and inappropriate hardware for a sound installing. If you're doing it for looks, an F100 with no tailgate may be used, but it must be a '79 or earlier and no less than 5% rust unless the odometer has flipped. Anything less will be obvious to the trained mojo expert eye.
Damn. Wish Willie Dixon and/or Muddy Waters were still around. They knew how to get it workin'. Except on that one girl.
It probably just needs the latest firmware update. Get on the manufacturers web site and download it. While you are there, also check that you have all the most recent drivers and security fixes. You gotta stay on top of this stuff all the time.
Actually, I'm glad you did mention it. In this edition of As the World Turns (tm), I recently came into possession of a vintage (two months old) Sire MM four-string. I briefly considered modding it with an aftermarket mojo interpolater, but now I realize it would be unwise.
Non-reverse Thunderbirds have ojom. They're backwards, but in a good way.
Basses with 5, 6 or more strings have neither more nor less mojo than 4 string basses. The overall mojo is the same, but the mojo-to-string ratio is diminished.
Basses with rear-routed controls have neither more nor less mojo than front-routed basses. You just have to make sure that the pickguard or control plate is screwed down properly so that the mojo can't escape.
Left-handed basses have no more mojo than right-handed basses. Except when played by a right-handed player - then they have significantly enhanced mojo.
Headless basses have moj. That's just a different kind of mojo, without the end bit.
Old basses accumulate mojo. When you cut into them, you can count the mojo rings in the wood.
Paint does nothing to hold the mojo in. Artificially relic'd basses still have mojo.
Bootsy Collins' bass has MOJO.
Ultralong and shortscale basses have mojo. The mojo-to-length ratio of such a bass is: mojox = (34*mojo34)/x, where x is the scale and mojo34 is the mojo-to-length ratio of a standard 34" scale bass.
Hollow-body basses have m--o.
Acoustic basses have mojo. Unless they are also amplified, and then they can have mojo.
Active basses have iMojo.
Heavy basses have m

Sell the bass to a skilled luthier who can ripoff your mistake and claim that they innovated something new. Like the maker of a single-cutaway, Pre-CBS Jazz bass, extra botched.
Then get a new bass which has been mojo upgraded by the factory. Your now busted up bass will have some bangin' mojo.

You don't get that mojo workin', and all the other bass players in the crowd who don't have gigs are gonna talk extra smack about the no-jo crap you're playing. That would be the worst thing eVAHHH!
Get you mojo a job. If there's anything I've learned from blues folk, it's that you gotta get your mojo workin'
Cut on your tv and place your bass in front of it, no closer than 2'. Turn it to Three Stooges episodes, but ONLY ones with Moe and Joe (not Curly Joe; you don't want that kind of mojo). Leave the bass there for at least two hours.
If that don't work, then I got nothin'.

Yep, you're onto something here.
The only cat I know that can properly install mojo in the States lives on a houseboat way down in the swamps of Lake Pontchartrain. His wife will require payment in full before the installation can commence and you can only come callin' in the Spring under a blood red moon.
Guys, we're over complicating this. Have you tried carrots?
Lowendtech
Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
Kinda looks like Flojo took some mojo stereosI bet putting a new tort pick guard would add at least a little mojo.
Maybe I can put this pic on it and get some FloJo mojo.
EDIT: Whoops... looks like FloJo mojo ran out in 1998. My bass is a 1999 model. Retro mojo won't fit in the new spot.
