So I took JR to the studio for a drum lesson and he always asks me to jam along so I pick u-p thje RD.  %#*!  No neck pickup output.  After some fussing abotu I realise it's just the neck pickup in FX mode that does not work.  Thats' the mode I use all the time and it's bloody maddening because it was totally fine a couple days ago and been sitting there on the stand ever since.

At least the bridge pickup works.  It's the only bass where I use that on the regular/most of the time.

amptech:
The answer is simple: Quit drugs and get a P bass :P

Maybe you're already on to this but anyway: If you're lucky it's just a tired function switch. Looking at the schematic on Jules' site it shows that the function switch chooses the path for the rhythm pickup (compressor or not). If there's no connection between 4 and 5 on the function switch you'll get no rhythm pickup sound.

If the switch is not the culprit, maybe follow the advice above...  ;)
