![]() ![]() The pickups are Ibanez IBZ ( ) which are coil-split passive pickups. I have reproduced this several times, and I think I can say with reasonable certainty that it is not a loose contact (still, I'm not a soldering expert by any means, so I could be wrong). However, as soon as I switched to the other pickup (the neck pickup) and back, it was dead again. After this, I could play in a normal way, and get normal sound from it. However, I realised that if I played the strings fairly hard (and specifically the bass strings) the pickup came back to life after producing a "broken" sort of distorted sound for a short while. When finished, I tried it out, but the pickup only produced a very low sound. For example, every odd harmonic will have an antinode near the pickup and will. I wanted to put back the original again, and since I had it lying around, I went on and did that. The picture shows a very simplified view of the pickup end of a guitar. I have an old Ibanez (Roadstar RS530), on which one of the original pickups had been desoldered and replaced with another one. ![]()
