A friend of mine has a five string Jazz Bass. He has a problem and I can't figure it out:)
The D and G string are much weaker on both pickups. If you hit the pole pieces with a metal part you hear a loud clanking sound at the B, E, and E, but hitting the D and G polepieces hardly makes any noise at all. It happened suddenly and it's both pickups. Strange isn't it?
It can't be a pickup failure. I can't imagine both pickups suddenly lose the sound at two strings?
Thanks in advance.
