MusicMan Bass “What’s that Jigglin’ around?”

My good friend Phil left his bass with me for a couple days to look into a mystery noise coming from his bass when you shake it. It sounded to me like there was something heavy like a 9v battery loose inside the body- which I thought at first might be likely as his bass has active electronics that require a battery.

Well I found the battery compartment snug and in great shape- so I started taking things apart and found that the secondary pickup (which is mounted underneath the first pickup) had come all undone, and broken a wire in the process.

To skip all the boring details- the pickup is re-glued, re-wired, and re-friggin-rockin!
