Dummy Pickup lose
« on: August 26, 2021, 08:18:42 PM »
Hello everyone!
It's been quite a while since I've posted anything. While cleaning my bass I noticed that my Dummy Pickup is really lose. Does anyone know how secure it?
Thank you so much! Chalie.

Hey, Chalie!  Good to see you again!

Well, I'm an old roadie, so my answer is, of course, "duct tape".

Others may give different answers.........

Hey Charlie,  I believe that Mica recommended a couple of drops of super glue
when this has been asked in the past.

Chalie!

I have no advice but do want to let you know I think of you often due in part that I constantly plagiarize your phrase:
“Keep it low, stay outta treble”. 
 :D


It is good to hear from you and wish you the best.

A couple of drops of super glue should do it. It is enough to hold it in place and should it ever need to be removed on purpose it will break free from a blow with a rubber mallet.

Welcome back, Chalie ! (I agree, CA glue, couple drops of the gel-type... )

Great voice Chalie. 
Great playing and Delores is a treat (even without an Alembic).   ;)
