Sounds like a leaky capacitor. Open it up, try and find/replace the bad one. You might also try putting an electrolytic as near the pickup as possible, between positive, and ground, (say 2000 mfd, 35v).

I say it is a grounding problem. open it up and check all your solder points.

Here's my Fender rip-off piece of crap :D

Too many problems to list, the pawn shop wouldn't even take it, but I still like it anyway. :p

It's a "Barracuda". Ai yai yai!

dang..you must have sold alot of oranges! :D :nice:

oki...check the female where the cord goes in. you can usually unscrew it. if it looks bad, replace it..fairly cheap part. i had a similiar problem with my old Gibson (but was too cheap to get it fixed)..it's possible something got to much moisture and is corroded.

LOL, yeah. that's actually my buddy duane's house. He's a guitar nut. He had a band that hit it semi-big in the 80s and he's still reaping the rewards :p
I have an amp with my guitar that I'll take a picture of when I get my guitar back.

gibson: :eek7: love the cross on top...
betty: I want your fretless..
monster: beauty.

and thanks for the advice guys, Ill see what I can do with it. allthough I have the feeling Ill end up taking it to the repair shop in teh end.. I once opened up my synth just to see if there were any cool potmeters inside that I could ajust, and now my pitch bend is screwed and the on/off button lost its function. :hmm:

holy cow that is a lot of peavy crap!
I used to sell that stuff to unsuspecting victims.

I have a lovely 83 (i think) Fender Elite, once owned by Mr Ty Tabor.
Never shall it pass from my ownership!
