BEFORE you remove your pickups for rewind, reheat the 2 solder at pickups eyelet . You have nothing to loose if pickup is for rewind.....
BE SURE YOUR METER IS WORKING GOOD AND YOU ARE SURE OF YOUR READING.

If not sure how to do or how eyelet / connection look , post a close up photo of the pickups we can help you.

For rewind , better take your time to find a good reputation "pickups rewinder" . If not your bass will loose is value. And lost is sound .........
Or you sell it like that , some vintage collector have their own "pickup rewinder"


I think we need to get this instrument to someone who knows what they are doing before it gets wrecked beyond repair.

I listed two of the top rewinding professionals in the USA and one just happens to be here in NC, Curtis Novak. He is the leading restoration expert in the Carolinas and highly respected in all regards of restoration including pickups and his pickups are first rate. All 3 shops that I listed have a "good reputation." Just because the 3rd option is cheap doesn't mean he isn't good, he's just smaller scale, newer and less busy than the major shops.

Do you know how long it takes Mr. Fralin to get a rewind out? Figure on 2 months minimum. Or you can pay him $50 EXTRA for a rush job in 2 weeks.

Glad he found someone to work on it for him with a "good reputation." Never heard of that guy myself, but that doesn't mean he's got a "bad reputation."

He broke the pickup winding wires where they connect to the terminal on the bobbin.
