No sound on E9 neck

Postby Barry » Tue Feb 03, 2015 12:15 pm

Hi,
I'm having trouble with the signal on the E9 neck. Sometimes while playing, the sound will fade away slowly but then come back slowly with no set time, maybe 2 to 10 minutes or even having to stop and returning the following day, it has now become a pain.
When there is no sound on the E9 neck, I switch to the C6 and I have sound. My issue is, is it the pickup or the switch. I have sprayed the switch with switch cleaning lubricant, but to no avail, any suggestions I would grateful.
There is no sudden sound loss, it's gradual.
Barry.

Barry, If you have sound from the C6 neck it can only be the pup or connections, I would first remake the connections in case you have a dry joint there..........

I know what you mean John, it is a long way thankyou but as Jason seems alittle closer I'll ask him if he will have look if you don't mind, once I ask him where in Essex he is.

well, that's that sorted. Glad we got there in the end Barry.
One dodgy switch changed, and a bit of very fiddly rewiring, and you're good to go.
