Hi Mica, I have two troubles on my old alembic bass. One is 1983 series I bass. Serial is 832854. Front pickup does not work. No sound heard from front pickup. I believed PF6 circuit is OK. Because I heard no sound from rear pickups when I did swap front pickup for rear pickup. I measured pickup resistance. Front pickup was 3.6M ohms. Rear pickup was 1.6K ohms. I think Front pickup coil is wire break. Two is 1975 series I bass. Serial is 75AE015. Hum canceling pickup does not work. Previous owner tried to repair a coil. But He gave up re-wiring. I have its hum canceling pickup but it was taken apart. I want to solve these problems. I am living in Japan. Oversea transporting is very expensive and high risk for my basses. If I send you these pickups, would you exchange or repair them? | ||

Mica: Could you estimate how much it would cost to exchange broken Series I pickups to new pickups? I have two broken pickups,83's front pickup and 75's hum cancel pickup. | ||

It's not really possible to repair a pickup, I can only offer replacements. We have the original molds still and can make a replica of the pickups you have. The single coil pickups are $120 and the hum canceller is $65. If we can't supply with the original connector we will provide adapters so the installation is easy. | ||

Mica, With the upper photograph, hum canceller is the connector of a cylinder form. The front pickup is a box type connector. By what method should I buy new pickups? |
