At rehearsal tonight my hum canceling pick up on series one fell forward when I was leaning. How do it re-seat this pick up? Thanks, John

I do believe they are just glued in!
Double sided adhesive tape is a good option

Terry,
Thanks for the the suggestion. Went out and bought some this morning. Will try it tonight. Was kind of panicked because except for two dark nights, I play every night for the next four weeks. John

Usually those puppies are really glued in there...

For some reason I seem to recall seeing the folks at Alembic saying they use Super Glue. The advantage is it keeps the pick up in place but can be removed by a sharp blow from a rubber mallet.

Well, I saw the dried glue. I found some 1/16" thick clear dbl sided tape at a local hobby store and have tried it. Seems to be good. Still fits flush to body. Thanks guys. John
